First Bath

 It was just a sponge bath, but Amelia did NOT like being naked and wet.  We had warmed towels laid out to be soft and cozy, but that didn't seem to matter.  As soon as her clothes came off, the crying started.  It was a fast wipe down.  

As soon as I wrapped her up in a towel, she stopped fussing and was happy as a clam.  

Bath time has gotten better, she doesn't cry or fuss anymore.  But I wouldn't say she likes her baths.  She does however like being wrapped up in a warm towel at the end.  

Week One

Meeting Amelia for the 1st time

We keep getting the same 2 questions from people:

New Dad

"How are you adjusting to parenthood?"

Honestly, maybe it's because I wasn't pregnant, and I am not healing from a labor and delivery, but it's not that big of a change.  Yes we are more sleep deprived, (Kevin has fallen asleep at 8:15 watching tv the past 2 nights) but we do all the same things we did before Baby, just as a family of 3 now.

New Mama

"Is it all you thought it would be?"


I'm not sure what I "thought" parenthood it would be.  It's heavenly.  Amelia is a perfect baby, she doesn't really cry, she is a great sleeper.  Sleep, Eat, Poop, repeat.  That is our day and I love every minute of it.
