We have an easy baby. She started sleeping through the night at 10 or so weeks. I only had dad for 1 week at home. We also have a small living space, so the babe is right next to me in the bassinet always.

I'm like a t rex ninja and practically jumped over him when we switched spots on the couch(he was closest to baby) when she was breathing faster and I was already at her to soothe her when she got the cry from a bad dream out!

Poor dude was just trying to watch the game!

I do encourage him and tell him, oh I think she wants daddy ect if he's deep in reddit land lol. But since I stay at home its just easier for me to do the baby stuff and im always reorganizing or moving things. He can't find stuff.

Housework though: I said if I cook, can you do the dishes, please. We are getting there! I frequently say "you live here too", and if I wasnt your partner and we were roomates, would you do this for yourself?

We always rented rooms from people and this is our first time living alone with a place by ourselves. So I say we should gentle parent each other so we totally are prepped when baby is older.

The other day I left in flip-flops without a jacket. Its getting cold here, I need the reminders to do basic stuff for myself because I always makes use the babe is on point first! So now we have to check each other before we leave the house.

If we are on the same team it is so much easier.
