The Asshole Weeks

So there's this iphone app called "The Wonder Weeks" and apparently a book is out too- that tells you all about your baby's mood ups & downs, mental development etc.  There's these developmental phases called 'leaps' and Joey is in the 5th one.  

More or less its a bitchy baby calendar. Very similar to putting your menstrual cycle on the calendar. 

It's nice because you can use it for planning. For example; I can look at it and think "hmm, we shouldn't go on a road trip that weekend cause Joey is scheduled to be a total asshole that week."  Good to know.

It's been on the mark so far.  Don't know if its good guessing or good science 'cause anyone could guess some random weeks and say a baby is going to be cranky, and chances are at some point that prediction will appear correct. 

But hey. It's 1 AM and Joey is Baby PMS-ing on schedule.   So we will call it a win for this baby app.

Though I would have called it 'Baby PMS Tracker' or 'weeks mom doesn't get to shower' or 'make appointment to tie my tubes'- something like that.

 "The Wonder Weeks" kinda implies there's something wonderful about them.  Or maybe it means you will wonder how long you can survive on no sleep.  Oh Well, it's an interesting read anyway.
