time to make the donuts

In recent memory, no other product has revolutionized my life like the Itzbeen Baby Care Timer.
Since baby P has come home, we’ve been sleeping in separate beds: Mr. Misosouper across the house (in walkie talkie distance, of course), and me in the guest room, on newborn duty. He gets to rest at night and I get to rest during the day, a setup I highly recommend.
So in the wee hours, if I haven’t blearily rolled over to feed/change/check on baby in the past 3 hours, the Itzbeen Baby Care Timer sounds a gentle alarm to wake me up. Press the buttons to reset, and repeat, until morning. (There’s a bonus button, which I used the first couple of nights home to remind me to take my pain meds. As if I would have forgotten.)
The Itzbeen Baby Care Timer even comes with a nightlight, which I have used for several diaper changes when I’m too lazy to turn on the lamp.
Yes, I know reviews of this gadget have already been posted all over the internet.
But add my exhausted, grateful voice to the chorus.

baby has finally arrived.
When it comes to baby gear, second kids often get the shaft. (Which conjures up images of a poor third baby I know, who slept in a dresser drawer because the crib was ruined.) The stuff you bought for your first–or at least, the stuff I bought for my first–is stained, torn, and sticky. And that’s just the gear that didn’t get thrown away.
