College Algebra survey

Now, there is the other side of the coin, which is that you won't understand just yet- but that you quite possibly won't be able to leave the captive presence of your little one, as it blows your mind that your bundle of cells and your wife's bundle of cells made This. You will want to soak up every moment.

Assuming your wife has a normal uncomplicated birth, you might get to slip away. If she has a c-section or your child is in the NICU, all bets are off. She won't be able to climb stairs or even drive for a few weeks.

Since you value your wife, and wouldn't dare leave her side as she figures out how to breastfeed and needs you to hold the baby so she can shower, grows frustrated with every possible thing that she realizes she doesn't know how to do (which will only be clouded by the fact that everyone around her will give her conflicting advise) and asks you to order "take out" and can't figure out where the Hollywood notion of newborns came from, and you'll need to run to the store because she needs pads and maybe just one can of formula...and what about that little noise the baby made- should you call the doctor? I am pretty sure the baby isn't getting enough milk, and why is the bellybutton like this? Is cramping normal? What about my bleeding? And what about his foreskin? :eek: I'm sorry honey, you would like to do what? Study for a CLEP exam? Isn't that nice that you get to take a STUDY VACATION and go to a CLEP EXAM party for 3 HOURS! Have a NICE time!

Ummmm....

As a happily married woman (to an A+ husband and father), I'll gently suggest you putting algebra right where it goes- the bottom of the list. (for now)


This one had me laughing PRETTY hard, actually. Thanks for the laugh!!
