Jeff’s Daddy Diary Day Two, Night Time Wake Ups

Jeff Kurkjian of The Andie Summers Show has been doing "Jeff's Daddy Diary" not for his real baby (due August 4th) but for the Maybe Baby that is training him to become a father.

If you missed his FIRST Daddy Diary, here's a recap below.

We paired up with our friends at Collegium Charter School to help Jeff out. He's expecting his very first baby on August 4th so we wanted to make sure he was ready.

Meet "Maybe" the baby!!

Watch some pieces of Jeff's day here, what an adventure it was. It included multiple doctor appointments (including a baby doctor), some water ice and a VERY late night.

Daddy Diary Day TWO and this was a long day for sure. It started with having to go to physical therapy for an issue I've had with my foot for quite some time. And of course, Maybe had to come with me.

My therapist is a big fan of 92.5 XTU and she's been listening so she totally understood what I needed to do but all the other people in the office, not so much. The baby lost its mind in the middle of my physical therapy. Had to be paid attention to and changed twice in the matter of about 45 minutes. GREAT timing Maybe.

Drove home while on a meeting with the rest of the show only to have the baby cry WHILE DRIVING. That was the first time that it happened for me. Very loud and very uncomfortable but had to stick through it like every parent does.

Quick lunch at home and right back to the hospital for Emily's baby doctor appointment... with a fake baby. Man it was hilarious having to tell every mom or expecting mother that in the stroller is a fake baby lol

We made it through that. Back home for a much needed nap after last night's late night. Dinner at home then Rita's for dessert. The baby was SO GOOD from dinner to Rita's and even while going to bed which meant it was going to be a rough night.

I went to bed at 9pm (with a 3:30am wake up call), the baby woke me up five times from 9:30-10:30pm, then again at 11:45pm, 12:15am, ten minutes apart at 1:30am and again twice at 2:30am.

It's safe to say that it was a tough night.

I learned a lot from this experience. When a baby is crying, it's important to be calm. As silly as it sounds, when reaching for these keys to find the right one, if you fumble them, or forget which ones you tried, it gets more stressful. It's important to remain calm and that goes for REAL babies too. They feel your stress.

I've never had MORE respect for parents then I do right now. The night time wake ups are no joke. I am still really looking forward to becoming a father but now feel MORE prepared for the challenge!

Poor Jeff, his first day with his Maybe Baby didn't go very well. It was SO EXHAUSTING! That's why he came up with Jeff's Daddy Diary to help keep up with everything.

Take a look at this video to learn a little more about his day.

Thanks to our friends at Collegium Charter School, we were able to secure a robot baby for Jeff to practice on before his baby comes around August 4th. Jeff and Emily are expecting their first baby and it's going to be a GIRL.

Watch when the rest of The Andie Summers Show found out about the gender reveal.

Tuesday on the show, Jeff was introduced to the idea that was hatched by Andie, Donnie and Shannon. They wanted to help him get some practice!

Take a listen to when he found out their secretive plan.

Hey guys, it's Jeff. And this is my first Daddy Diary entry for my first day with baby Maybe. I met the baby at 8:30am and all things seemed well and good. Brought her along with me to Turnersville, NJ for our Baby Buggy stop at Nifty Fiftys.

I got a stare from the nice gentleman at the gas pump in Jersey who probably thought I was insane with a fake baby in a car seat but it is what it is!!

The event went great and so many XTU Nation members getting to meet the Maybe Baby and take pictures with her; you can see those below. Thankfully, on the ride there (about 45mins) and the ride back to our house in Skippack (about an hour and five mins) the baby didn't cry once.

When I got home, I had a lot of yard work to do so Emily, my wife, took care of the baby who didn't even make a peep. Then it got weird. We interviewed a potential nanny for our baby McKinley coming in August, whilst I was holding the Maybe Baby.

We explained why we were doing it but I'm sure she was still weirded out.

Night time was by far the worst. Going to bed at 9:30pm, the baby work up six times in the span of an hour to either be fed, burped, given attention or changed. Then again at midnight, 1am and 3am before my 3:45am alarm went off for work.

I have gained so much more respect for parents after just ONE night with this little baby. I have been humbled for sure and now have just the smallest hint as to what is going to change next month for me and my little family.
