For those wondering what having a newborn baby is like, I just wrote "take a shower" on a list of things I'm hoping to accomplish today.

You can't really get mad at your newborn baby for screaming for an hour straight when he's basically just voicing your inner monologue.
— Dad and Buried (@DadandBuried) January 28, 2016
Like a newborn baby, I too have an eat/sleep/cry schedule that's set at socially inappropriate intervals
— Ash (an female) ⚪️ (@adult_mom) May 21, 2017
Just called my 2 month old the neediest motherfucker on the planet, in case you're looking for a reason to call DCS tonight.
— Lauren Mullen (@DraggingFeeties) August 3, 2016
When I see the frazzled parents of a newborn, I tell them, "Don't worry. It gets easier." Then I laugh maniacally for 20 minutes.
