A few random thoughts/comments from the last couple days -
The skin under rosie’s eyebrows gets red and splotchy when she gets fussy or cries - which is funny because her hair and eyebrows are blondish so you cant really see her eyebrows until the skin gets all red…
The moby wrap - I love it - it totally takes pressure off your shoulders more than the baby bjorn or other similar carriers - because you can stretch the material to spread out from your neck across your entire shoulder and down your arm a bit so it spreads the weight out more.
I have already been thinking about baby #2 - its still a bit too early - but we would like them to be close in age - maybe 1 1/2 to 2 years apart - plus I am 31 and Joe is 37 - so we are not exactly spring chickens! I haven’t gotten my period yet - and there hasn’t been a lot of alone mommy and daddy time since Rosie was born - so at this rate - looks like it will be a while!
My girl hasn’t rolled over yet - she can kind of roll from her back to her side - but hasn’t made it any farther than that - but she has a really strong neck - she has been lifting her head up since birth (I have a photo of her on the day she was born where I am holding her on my chest and she lifted her head to look up at me) - and she can now sit unsupported for about 10-15 seconds before she leans to the side and falls over - she also loves to stand while holding onto my fingers - I think she will be crawling soon because she loves tummy time and she always kicks her legs and after about 15 min she has “scooted” her body forward a few inches…. (my - don’t I sound like a proud mama!)
I am getting ready to spend 4 glorious days in sunny (hopefully) florida with my parents & grandparents - they are kind of on the edge of the path of Wilma - but all should be ok by the time I get there…
