oh the horror

why do I end up with the baby who always wakes up screaming? Now when I dump her in the crib after she's passed out, I don't bother turning on the baby monitor. There's no mistaking her shrill when she's awake. And she's always done this so it's not merely the teething pain. She's just a loud waker. Perhaps this is a defense mechanism to ensure that she never has to share a bedroom.
