21 Baby Memes for Sleep Deprived Parents Trying to Enjoy 'The Good Old Days'

Having a baby is so weird. You do the deed, and then nine months later, a living person pops out of your body. You leave the hospital with a brand new human being and are expected to know how to take care of it, even though you barely know how to take care of yourself. Luckily, the needs of a baby are pretty simple, right? Eating, sleeping, pooping: anyone should be able to help a little person facilitate that, right? Unfortunately, babies also need constant attention that eats up any time you could be showering, cleaning, or reading the newspaper. 

The good news is that babies are usually more fun than trouble. Even though they have their faults, parents can usually laugh them off as a temporary stage of development that will be over before you realize it. If you're ready for the crying to stop but want your kid to stay cute and little forever, these baby memes will strike a good balance.
