A Shower a Day Keeps the Mood Swings Away

I've found that one of the keys to keeping my sanity in the midst of all the baby fun is taking at least one shower a day. There's nothing like scrubbing off the spit up, baby poo and night sweats (another fun after effect of giving birth nobody tells you about) to give you a brighter outlook on life.

Yesterday, July 29, Marty went into the office again, so I had to finagle a shower sometime while Brianne was sleeping. This was especially important since we took a walk around the block earlier in the morning, and managed to work up a sweat in the 15 minutes spent outside (darn that humidity). So I ended up putting Brianne in the big girl crib in her room which was the closest place to our upstairs bathroom to put her down . We have a beautiful bumper that came as part of the bedding set, but apparently those can kill babies, so I took it out. She looked so teeny in there!

After that, we spent some time playing on the couch making funny faces at each other. We had a great day overall.
