Big Girl Bath

February 19, 2009

We’ve reached another milestone: Brynleigh’s umbilical cord stump fell off on Tuesday, so no more sponge baths for her!  Tonight she got to have her very first big girl bath.
I made all the necessary preparations: shiny pink baby tub – check!, baby wash – check!, baby shampoo – check!, clean diaper – check!, hooded towel [...]

Making Friends

February 14, 2009

We have had a pretty good week. On Tuesday, Ben and I took Bryn to the pediatrician for her very first [...]

Bliss, Personified

February 4, 2009

What a week we’ve had!  I don’t even know where to start.
Miss B, as I’ve taken to calling her, is bliss, personified.  She’s more wonderful than I could ever have hoped.
We were 20 minutes late to the hospital on Thursday.  I think my subconscious was working overtime to delay the inevitable; I was so scared.  [...]

In case anyone is still looking at our website, I have posted new pics of our girl. She is now 5 days old. She had her first doctor’s appointment today, and the doctor said she is “perfect.” As MJ says, “just sayin’.”
I am going to try and have Sarah post something tomorrow.
I would like to [...]
