900 days

When I had settled with the idea that we’re expecting, I felt that the hardest thing of raising Baby, initially, must be communication. Baby won’t be able to talk, and I have so far successfully avoided babies enough to not know much about correctly interpreting the basic call for too-hot, too-cold, hungry, tired, bored and the million other impressions a new life has in store. I thought that, superficially skimming my memory about other kids I’ve seen grow up around me, that at some point between 2 and 3 years a vocal communication about “what’s wrong now” is established in many cases, so 900 days seemed catchy enough. This diary is our attempt of documenting this journey.
