Very Helpful Visitors

Hey all! How can it be blog day again already? The days are flying by as we continue to adjust to life with a baby. Fortunately for us, we've had a lot of help lately, which has made our lives easier. As you may remember from his blog post last week, Drew was here and he did a ton of cooking, cleaning, and baby holding for us. Brenda's parents are here now and they're doing more of the same. We're feeling very spoiled.

 We took advantage of the beautiful spring weather yesterday by going for a walk along the river.

We didn't make Drew work the whole time. He got to enjoy a few minutes with the baby before getting back to scrubbing the bathroom floor.

After we told our midwife that our little guy had some irritated skin, she recommended we go to a pharmacy and buy "healing wool." I was surprised when I saw it, but it seems to be doing the trick. I don't remember seeing wool in pharmacies in the U.S., but then again I've never shopped in the baby section before. 

We've been venturing out with our little guy every few days. Instead of taking the stroller, most of the time we wrap him in a baby sling and Brenda carries him. He seems to really like it.

It's getting pretty late over here so I'd better call it a night. I hope you all have a great week, and we'll talk to you next Tuesday!
