I love the Internet

I don't know how parents did it without the Internet. I love this thing so much, and it is has caused so much relief of stress as a parent.

First, I love that I can shop online. I love that I don't have to drive around town to get everything I may want or need. Driving around town with a baby is not nearly as fun as driving around alone.

Secondly, it has a plethora of advice. Granted, some of it has to be taken with a grain of salt, if that, but I love not necessarily calling a doctor or whatever for every piece of advice I think I need.

Third, I love that I don't feel like I'm the only mom who experiences this or that. Like, I can type in "baby has 20 minute sleep cycle" and I can read about why Michael wakes up every 20 minutes on the dot from a nap, and how I can help him fall back asleep and extend that time so he is getting more than just catnaps throughout the day, leading to a drowsy baby most of the time.

I love that I can type in "my baby doesn't like car rides" and find a whole host of other moms whose kids are going through the same thing I am when we get in the car and hear some suggestions on what they did to help soothe their baby in a car ride.

I just can't believe what a source of comfort it is to type in pretty much whatever I feel like, and I can find so much information on the subject, and then weed through what seem like credible sources and try different things.

I don't know what people did without the Internet! My hat goes off to you because I know without it, I would feel so much more lost than I already do!
