Ingrid and I wrapped presents for Daddy and Otis, we folded laundry, listened to Christmas music, and ate snacks. I put Otis in the sling for the first time, but before that Ingrid wanted to see if she still fit. She does, but man, after holding her chunky monkey butt in it for five minutes, Otis seemed even more tiny! He just snuggled right in and fell asleep as we went about our business.
And speaking of tiny: one of my favorite newborn pictures of Ingrid was her in the bouncy seat. Looking back at the seat now, it's amazing she ever fit into it, you know? So I had to take one of Otis, too. He's such a papoose in his swaddle blanket, a baby burrito barely taking up any space in his seat at all!!
Someday we'll look back at this and sigh and say remember when he was that small??

Yay! You all look wonderful!
Congratulations!!! Glad the BFing is working out (nipples shield did wonders for me too!)He is absoultely perfect and adorable!
Amazing! Sounds like you are all doing really well and I still can't imagine how mothers of more than one child ever manage without a sling or wrap. I love how it allows you to get on and do regular stuff with your older kid, whilst being close to your baby. What a sweetie Otis is :-)
Oh and nipple shields were my best friends too. Hang in there, because if you can get it established, breastfeeding will make your life with a new born and active toddler SO much easier.
Oh what a little cutie he is! Congratulations! :)
Oh I'm so happy to hear you are doing so well!! And I'm glad the breastfeeding seems like it's going to work out! I bet Ingrid is so so happy to have her momma back. One of the days she was at my house she asked to fold laundry with me, but I guess ours just isn't as interesting as yours, lol. Have a great holiday weekend. I'll be jealous when I'm doing a hundred crazy family things. <3
