Speaker 1 (00:00):
So it's like we're writing in our diaries, except we
save them aloud. We call them blogs. Paulina, Yes, you're
a trooper over there. Oh something like that, flushing the
buttons and then this take it away.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Oh my goodness, thank you so much, dear blog. Yeah,
you know your girl is really going through it today.
I think this is something that we don't think about
a lot as parents or just as people in society.
But you know, when you got a baby at home
and baby either as sick or doesn't sleep or there's
just something going on with baby, I don't understand how
we as people function the next day and are expected
(00:33):
to just proceed as you know, as usual, just to
business as usual, because I think it's just wild. Like
growing up, I know, like you know, we would be sick, right,
like we all obviously where our parents would take care
of us or whoever our caretakers, But like being on
this side of it, I guess I just never really
thought about the fact that, like I got to be
a whole as adult and and you know, care for
this this child, my baby, who she was just throwing
(00:55):
up a little bit last night.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, I'm kind of bummed. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
And she wasn't throwing up anything, you know, like there
was there was nothing in there that was concerning according
to doctor that I called.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I love the doctor. We go to the pediatrician that little.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
On call number, and I do uncall them when when
it's time.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Oh my god, I'd be calling all the time. I'm
so paranoid about everything. I'd be like, what is that?
What was that? What about this? I'd be on Google
trying to raise my kid on Google.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah, yes, one time I called because her butt crack
looked funny to me.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Well, not to stop talking about them. He gets so upset.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
He's like, you're wasting their time. And I'm like, there
is no time wasted, no, because I don't wait.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
You how was the butt crag? What was wrong with
the butt crag?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
It looked really low to me? And I was just like,
but like and it looked like like like like a
dark spot and I was like like, what is that?
I mean, it's fine, Like she's just fine. There was
nothing there. It looked dark because it was we were
in a darker room.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
But I was like, if you turn the light on
for some reason, that problem goes away. It's weird.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
I thought it was a crooked like yours, like crooked ass?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I do, No, I really do. My doctor told me
I have a crooked ass. Yeah, we did some testing
on that.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
You did testing on your crooked butt?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Yeah, I did that.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
How do you do that? I could get a measuring
tape out level what we do?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
He had me in the chiropractor, had me go in, uh,
like one of those things that kind of measures your
body and like you to see all your bones and stuff.
Because I know I have terrible posture and that's why
I'm getting a breast reduction too, because I have horrible posture.
But he's like you're you're uh, he's he's had in
a professional way. And I was like, I don't know
what that means, doc, And he's like, well, you're like
you're tout crooked. And I was like, oh, maybe she
(02:24):
had a crooked ass. And I was like, oh man,
but you know, she's she's doing better this morning when
she doesn't feel good or she's sick because she's.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Been coughing too and it keeps her up.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I do bring in the stroller in the house and
that's where she sleeps. I just feel like she's elevated
and she's like, you.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Know, comforted a little bit.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
And then I left Hobby and my husband on the couch,
so they're all in the living room.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I'm like just texting and not getting a response. I'm
assuming you're on sleeping getting rest, but the fact.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
That, like you know, the show must go on. Literally,
I'm just like, all right, I'm getting up and going
to work. I didn't know if she was going to sleep,
to be honest, I was like, if she doesn't sleep, like,
I'm gonna beyond zero sleep, I gotta.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
I can't imagine.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I can't imagine, Like you're up at midnight or whatever,
caring for this baby that you can't really communicate too
well with because we're not using words yet, no, because
she's too little correct, So you're trying to like soothe
whatever her issue is, trying to figure out what it
is first and foremost, and you can't. But then every
minute that you're awake, you're looking at the clock, going
it doesn't matter what happens here, because at four point thirty, yes,
(03:17):
I got to get dressed and go to work, So
it doesn't really matter. Like each moment that we're doing this, Yeah,
it's a moment that I'm not sleeping, and the time
that I have to go to work will not change.
So I admire the fact that you come in here
with a good attitude and you're still over there with
all the responsibility of pushing the buttons, because I'm kind
of liking this thing. I'm kind of liking this thing
(03:39):
where I sit back and I don't have to do anything.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I just have to talk.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
It's a lot of work.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I don't know how you do it, how you yap,
how you focus, how you run aboard, how you like
talk to all of us and like make sure we're
all like seen and heard.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
It's a lie.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
God, bless you for saying that. Thank you, thank you
for I feel like you're seeing me. I'm being seen,
You're seen, I'm being seen. But this is I've told
the story before. But like my sister, when Polly was little,
she would get up super early. She'd get up at five,
five thirty six, no matter what. And so one night
we went to a concert. We were all together for
the holiday, and we went my brother in law and
(04:13):
my sister. We put the baby down, or maybe there
was a babysitter, went to dinner with my parents, and
then we go to this concert. But my sister's idea
because the band was the Summerset and my sister's friends
with the drummer, so it was her idea to go.
They go on it like supposedly nine o'clock is what
time they're supposed to go on. So my sister's like,
of course, doing the math, She's like, all right, we're
(04:34):
gonna go to this concert nine o'clock. It be over
ten thirty, be home by eleven. I'll be asleep. Polly
gets up at five, so we'll get six hours of sleep.
It'll be fine, right, okay, good. So we go there,
Well they're late going on. They don't go on till
ten okay, and then they go up on stage. You
say a couple of songs, so now it's like ten twenty,
and then the lead singer is like, you.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Guys, tonight, we're gonna go all night long.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
We're gonna do the law this show we've ever done
in the history of the band. You guys, get ready,
hang on tight, thirty songs to go or whatever, and
my sister has to say goodbye. Like the whole point
of going to this was so she could see her
friend from high school was in the band at the
end of the show, and she kept texting, I can't
wait to see you guys at the end of the show,
(05:20):
and this guy's up there going who wants it? And
then it was like halfway through, now it's midnight, and
so the whole time, I'm like, look it over my sister,
I whisper in her ear. I'm like, each moment we're here,
Polly is gaining strength. Each moment we're here, she's recharging
one minute further. Because it doesn't matter if we're there
till two in the morning, it doesn't matter. The kid
doesn't care, yep, because at five am getting up and
(05:43):
then she's gonna. She's been rested, she's ready to go.
She wants food, she wants entertainment, she wants to you
know whatever, And it doesn't matter. As a mom is
a dad, you have to do it.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
