Snug as a Bug in a Rug/ Mommy Lesson

Mommy Lesson: Invest in a wrap of some kind. This is a sleepy wrap/moby wrap. Best.invention.ever. Not only are my hands free, Aaron is quiet and happy. Which makes mommy happy.

Here is A in his wrap. It's about the only way to get things done around here during the day sometimes. And today is one of those days.

He just wants to be on me, and not in his pack n play or crib. Even the bouncy chair doesn't appeal to him this morning.

This week's mommy lesson

Bouncy chair=baby laxative

A will go #2, and disgustingly so I might add, while sitting in his bouncy chair.

We had to wash the cover of it (and him in the bathtub) on the weekend after a particularly messy blowout.

No need for exlax in this house. Just sit in the bouncy chair.

This week's mommy lesson

When baby has been napping for an extended period, go have a quick shower. And I emphasize quick, because your LO will know the instant you step in the shower and start crying. It's the murphy's law of motherhood.

Showering in under 5 minutes is a special talent that only new mothers possess.

Mommy lessons of the week

Being a newb to the mommy club, I'm learning things on a daily basis.

Here is what I have learned this week (usually the hard way).
~it's time to go up to the next size of diapers when A pees through 4 sleepers over the course of a night and/or has near major poop leakage out the sides
~I never thought I'd be the kind of mom to count down until the husband gets home, but a couple of days alone already and I am that mom
~gripe water is the bomb
