I still value showers though. love k. oh god the shower! what a treat it is in the beginning.

I just had a baby myself and I have so enjoyed reading about you and your family's experience. I guess the only thing that we can be sure of as new mamas is our love for our wee ones. Everyone's doing what is best for their lives and loves. I wish you all the best and sweet dreams to come, they will! heart, sam p.s- I also had great luck (and sleep) with a swaddling blanket.
