I am not sure what parents did before text messages. They're an easy way to share updates through out the day, they're less disruptive than a phone call, and they're a nice way to stay connected. I'm not going to lie, we texted a lot before parenthood, but now most of our texts involve BM's or 'firsts' or funny moments or sleep status or scheduling or just a fuzzy phone picture of the little dude to get us through the day. Here are some funny ones I found saved on my phone:
Firsts and funny moments (from Isaac's nanny, "M", to me):
"a tooth!!!!" (sent from the other room when i was working at home...)
"Isaac picked up the blue spike ball & said something like 'bahl'. WOW!"
"Isaac has one of those little plastic bowls & is going up 2 the wall & using it to draw on it. too cute - future picasso."
Things we forget to share in our 'trade-offs':
("M") "he's eating cheerios I c"
(Me) "yup. He loves to feed them to himself. and lodi loves it cause his accuracy's about 20%. :)
poop and sleep:
"he's just gone down after having a huge poop" (yup, it's a glamorous life, folks!)
("M") "wow a 2 hr nap!" (mom) "oh wow! he was cranky this AM, must hv needed it."
When Dad is Working Late nights: (from Mom)
"Isaac's down for the night. I see a bath and tea in my future."
Speaking of bath and tea.... that's where I'm headed now.

Ah, yes. Post-parenthood texts. Who would have thought BM's would be such a "hot" topic! Being a working Momma those picture texts make ALL the difference (of the baby, not the BM's) HA! What did parents do before smart phones?!
