So tired...

So at Midnight last night, Mike and I went to go see the 5th Harry Potter movie. It was awesome, but we both couldn't sleep afterwards. He fell asleep at around 4 and woke up at 6, I fell asleep at 6 and woke up at 9. We headed over to the doctor's at 11:30 and everything is just fine. As of right now, she's ready to come out, she'll just let us know when. Since I'm not due until August though, it's more likely later. "If she's ready now, let's just take her out!" "Uhm, no."

Afterwards, I went shopping for things for the baby's room. I bought a lamp that I saw that matched PERFECTLY so I just had to buy it. It's a lamb and the shade is the same peachy pink as the bedroom set. I also bought these white baskets with these peachy pink liners which match perfectly... but the best part about them is, they have "Madison" embroidered on them!

Mike and I went to our parenting class today!! It was very informative. There was only one thing that I didn't really agree with, which was the non-placement of a bumper inside the crib. They said it's dangerous, but... seriously. With all of the bumpers that are sold in this world, I highly doubt they're that dangerous. I did some research on it and most mothers that actually listened to this and took the bumpers out had babies with bruises or their arms and legs got stuck between the bars in the middle of the night from sticking them out. So therefore, my pretty bumper stays, and Mike loses. He got a bit upset with me when I said I was using the bumper regardless of what the teacher said. I'll listen to what they tell me. I'll do things that will keep the baby safe, like having her sleep on her back, no blankets other than the swaddle blanket, no pillows, wedges, etc... those are standard. Bumpers though... one comes in every baby set, and people use the bumper that they just paid a buttload of money for. Almost every parent uses one. You take it out when the kid can use it as leverage to get out of the crib. I highly doubt it's a real suffocation risk. We did learn other interesting things though that I didn't know. Never use powder on a baby, don't use commercial wipes until two months, don't use baby oils, but use canola or vegetable oil. We learned how to swaddle the baby, and different ways to hold her. We saw a slideshow of certain conditions that were completely normal.

Nothing else to say right now. It's very late and Lauren and Chris will be home from their movie soon. I'll get to talk to them about the movie! Yay!

  1. Lindsey, I never heard that crib bumpers were a suffication risk. I would think it was a protection from getting hurt in the crib as you said. Mom Stanisci
