In honor of Miral’s fifth week and how big she seems I want to remember all the little things that newborns do that you forget about when your baby is no longer a newborn.  I’ve experienced these little things twice before and still forgot about them until I saw them again this past month. 1.Continue reading “5/52”

Miral’s first bath in a real bath was given by… ..daddy!  Miral was NOT a fan of sponge baths (is anyone really?) but she loves the bath.  She likes the warm water and laying there looking all around.  She doesn’t like how cold it is when she gets out (although with air off in aContinue reading “Baths and Drones”

After 4 days in the hospital it was finally time to bring Miral home.  The hospital is right down the block so we were home in no time and walked into to decorations everywhere!  The boys had painted signs with glitter and all and put up balloons and streamers everywhere.  Adam even had a streamerContinue reading “Bringing Home Baby”
