New Places to Sleep

So Tucker has discovered that sleeping does not just occur in the his crib or in the infant carrier. The first time he fell asleep on Kojo the Croc we thought it was cute but figured it was a one time occurrence. The second time, I thought he was looking at himself in a mirror but was relieved to find him asleep so I could take a nap (listening to the advice from everyone that when the baby naps, you nap). Now, the third time maybe he really does have a new friend and likes to sleep on Kojo. Our concern of course is that he likes to sleep on his belly!!!

Lets see...milestones; what we have learned as new parents:

1. Sometimes you have to resort to midnight drives
2. If you are helping to change a diaper, NEVER stand at the end of babies feet...
3. Gripe Water works
4. No matter how bad your voice is, still sing

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EASTER BUNNY!

Easter

Tucker wanted to wish everybody a Happy Easter!

He is looking forward to his first Easter Egg hunt next year!

Welcome Tucker

The waiting game ended on Friday March 7, 2008 at 2:38 am as Tucker Thorson was born 10 days early. He was 8 lbs and 20.6 inches and is very healthy. We are all doing very well and after 4 days in the hospital, are happy to be home and settling into our new lifestyle. Needless to say, sleep is a luxury but we are enjoying every minute of our time with Tucker.

These are some of the top 5 lessons we learned in the first few days (of course most have to do with diapers and changing):

1. ALWAYS pack at least 1 extra outfit, even when you are going home from the hospital.
2. When changing the baby, pull all clean clothing away from the bottom area.
3. Always have the wipes ready and to do not pour water over the baby when trying to wet the dry wipes (this is when you are using the nice wipes provided by the hospital).
4. When changing the baby, hold feet and hands so they do not find their way into areas that you are trying to clean up.
5. When in doubt, USE a pacifier!!!

Of course if you are sleep deprived you will always forget one of these rules so we have to add another lesson;

6. When you do not learn from #1, go home and immediately pack an extra outfit in each diaper bag!!!
