Some Good Firsts

Last night Bubita had her first bath at home.  We were definitely a lot better and more relaxed than when we first bathed Bubeaner by ourselves... and "by ourselves" is a loose term since it took 5 people.  This time it was only Momma and Dad.

Bubita appeared to really enjoy it.  Well, she enjoyed getting her hair washed; what girl doesn't?  She tolerated the rest.  On the bright side, she was so exhausted, or maybe just relaxed, from the bath that she fell asleep immediately.  We weren't even done dressing her when she had already dosed off. 

However, it did not last too long.  She was soon awake and demanding to be fed every 30-60 minutes.  By the time she was full, Momma was beyond exhausted.  We were afraid of letting her sleep in the bed.  So we decided to try the bassinet again. 

Ah, the joys of a sleepy and relaxed baby

Oh, my!  Bubita sure has a pair of healthy lungs, and she's not afraid of using them.  Dad ended up sleeping in the nursery in order to get a tiny bit of sleep before work.  Bubita is stubborn, but so far, Momma is more stubborn.  She slept in the bassinet for the majority of (what was left of ) the night.  YAY!  

The rest of the day was quiet and relaxed.  We were both so exhausted!  But the important thing is that she spent a night in her bassinet. We are trying it again tonight.  She's been crying again, but not as much as last night.

In any case, tomorrow will be an exciting day.  Bubeaner comes back home!!!  We have missed our boy terribly.  He has been enjoying spending some time with his grandparents and aunts/uncles.  And it has been wonderful to focus solely on Bubita as we learn to adjust to her.  But we are ready for our little family to be reunited.  We've missed our precious boy so much!
