While getting geared up to go downtown Seattle to watch OSU beat Wisconsin, Jeremy and I discussed how different football season is now that we have a baby.
• No pre-drinking – wouldn't be responsible!
• No getting out our car flags and magnets and pimping our ride.
• No shaving Jeremy's chest hair and painting an OSU jersey upon his torso – okay, we've never actually did this. But still, we could have.
• No getting psyched up by listening to music from TBDBITL – no time for such a luxury, we have a baby and he needs stuff. Lots of stuff.
You have to pack with every possible 'what-if' scenario in mind. Like 'what if' Preston's teeth start hurting and he needs Tylenol. Or, 'what-if' Preston gets a nose bleed after someone accidentally hits him in the face during a drunken O-H-I-O chant? What would he need then?
So I pack an extra outfit, extra diapers, wipes, bibs, toys, solid foods, a bottle, a jacket, his hat, his medicine, Tylenol, a thermometer, snacks, a blanket and on and on and on. And let's not forget that we, the parents, need to get ready too. Hellish.
Finally ready, walking out the door, smiling with a half-sigh, Jeremy candidly said...
"Preston hijacked our coolness".
...and he did. But it's okay. 'Cause he's cool enough for the both of us!

Good to prepare for those drunk-induced infant nosebleeds! :)
And tell Jeremy that Preston did not hijack YOUR coolness. Just his. Ha.
Just kidding! :)
Love the one liner - that is a great one!
Yeah that is the best quote. babies sure do change your lives, but it's all worth it.
Great line! But I think sometimes I think being a mom has just added to my coolness.
I'd like to know more so out of curiosity. Did anyone find the 3G's features worthwhile enough to buy a whole new iPhone (especially if they didn't have the new contract discount)?
