I’ll try not to turn into too much of a mommy blogger, but at this point there’s not much else I can write about!
Today I walked over to the doctor with Abraham in the sling. It was heaven! I haven’t really been outside in a long time. The sun is shining, the trees are yellow, orange and red, the air is cool, there is frost on the grass in the shade, and it’s warm in the sunshine.
I felt like a super awesome mom with my sling and all. Abraham was all snuggled up inside, fast asleep. And I was wearing normal clothes, which I unpacked yesterday, so that made me feel stylish. I felt so stylish that I was actually worried about the sling clashing with my outfit. lol I do have a brown moby wrap that would have matched better, but I haven’t tried it out yet and it’s a bit more involved than a ring sling (though still looks pretty simple and easy).
I felt so awesome, I took a picture of myself with the timer.
Samuel’s fever was gone this morning so he went to work -though he still feels sick, but better.
Abraham has lost a little weight from his jaundice tribulation, but is now eating really, really well -even waking himself up on schedule sometimes. So the doctor just wants me to keep breastfeeding, not worry, and he’ll weigh him next week to make sure he’s growing like he should.
You do look cute! I can help show you how to use the wrap if you want. I LOVED it when Jonas was a newborn. You wrap it all on yourself first then put the baby in after. Then I put it away for a while because using the sling works great for babies. Then when they are toddlers I like the wrap again for back “carries”.
You can be a mommy blogger all you want. Might as well face it. Abraham is adorable, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
You look great, Aleatha! You are terrific at being a mom so far!!:)
You will both definitely stick together through thick and thin!
