First, I don't have any pictures to post this week, sorry!
We've had a pretty good week, time just continues to fly by. I'm still working on her sleep schedule, but it's a daily thing. Most of the time she does very well, but we have our slips, most of them mom and dad's fault (ours) because we take her our or disrupt her routine. All in all, she's a good sleeper.
For new mommies or expecting mommies, I tried the Johnson and Johnson bedtime bath on Sunday; got right in the tub with her since she was so fussy. It worked very well and Christina loved it. I highly recommend having this on hand. If your baby doesn't like baths, use often. If he/she does like baths, use on special occasions or when baby is especially cranky.
I've also discovered that I like Pampers diapers much better than Huggies. Huggies don't fit right in the legs and we end up with several outfit changes a day (sometimes that includes mommy or daddy). So for now, we are a Pampers household.
Since I'm full of reviews today, I'll keep going. We have two swings for Christina. One is a take along swing and is more of a recliner. Great for when she's sleepy, but needs motion. The other is a swing that keeps her upright. She loves this when she is awake and alert since it lets her look around (she also likes the mobile on this one). Though our living room is full of toys and items, it gives us resources to help her be happy (and keep mom and dad sane).
Tomorrow night, Ruel and I are going out for our first Mommy and Daddy Date since Christina was bored. I'm excited and anxious. Excited to get away with my hubby for a few hours of baby-free time and anxious that Christina will get fussy with my mom and dad watching her. Guess it's every new parent's fear. We will just have to see.
That's all for this week!
