Interesting.... Scandals Following the 2001 vintage, over 1.1 million cases of Beaujolais wine (most of it Beaujolais Nouveau) had to be destroyed or distilled due to lackluster sale as part of a consumer backlash against the popularity of Beaujolais Nouveau. French wine critic François Mauss claimed, in an interview given to a local newspaper Lyon Mag, that the reason for the backlash was the poor quality of Beaujolais Nouveau that had flooded the market in recent decades. He claimed that Beaujolais producers had long ignored the warning signs that such a backlash was coming and continued to produce what Mauss termed as vin de merde (shit wine).[3] This triggered an outcry among Beaujolais producers followed by an association of 56 cooperative producers filing a lawsuit against the Lyon Mag for publishing Mauss comments. Rather than sue for libel, the producers sued under an obscured French law that prevented the denigration of French products. In January 2003 the court in Villefranche-sur-Saône found in the Beaujolais producers favor and awarded USD$350,000 which would put the small, employee owned publication out of business.[4] The bad publicity garnered from the "Shit wine case" was extensive, with several publications such as Le Monde, The Times, The New York Times and the Herald Tribune running critical or satirical articles on the court's decision.[3] In 2005 the highest court of appeal found that there was no case for defamation and Representatives of the Beaujolais winemakers were ordered to pay €2,000 (USD$2,442) in court costs to Lyon Mag.[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaujolais_wine |

The sleep deprivation for the first few months wasn't that bad for us for some reason. I think something happens to your metabolism post-birth that allows you to operate with minimum sleep. The killer is when start sleeping good then get sick and have bad nights. Your body isn't used to it, and it leaves you destroyed the next day.

Heh. You're both going to flip out the first time she sleeps like nine hours straight through the night. At one point, one of you is going to bolt straight up in bed, waking the other, asking frantically "Have you heard the baby??", then go sprinting in there to find a peacfully sleeping baby. Happens to every single parent.

I'm not sure we ever had to pull an all nighter. That would be miserable. I did sleep in the recliner with the baby on my chest a few nights, though.

I had to take my daughter for drives when she got restless. She wouldn't fall asleep to anything else. For hours my wife and I would take turns driving her around everywhere. I got really good at finding my way around Smithville Lake at night.

Be careful doing that at Target. They have automatic doors.
