Gotta couple of fun things to report.  Lily got to take her first real bath in the kitchen sink.  She absolutely hated it.  I'm guessing the sink surface was probably cold and the water kept running out due to a bad plug.  We surely won't be doing that again. 

Last night I decided to try taking a bath with her in the big tub.  She loved it.  It was calming and warm and I'm sure she was more relaxed because Mommy was right there with her for the entire experience.  She still doesn't like to be naked but I'm sure eventually she'll learn to love the bath tub. 

Went to her 1 month check up today even though she's only 19 days old so far.  Doctor says she's perfect.  She's gaining weight and developing wonderfully.  Currently sitting at 6 pounds and 12 ounces she's returned to her birth weight and then some.  Still measuring 19.5 inches long but I don't think that's going to last too long.  I'm preparing myself for this girl to be well over my height.  She'll definitely be somewhere between mine and her dad's height which would put her at about 6 foot even.

Her hair is starting to thin out on the top and will continue to do so until most of it is gone. :(  Then we'll get to start the real fun and see what texture her real hair will be.  I've heard so many tips and tricks for managing biracial babies' hair that it makes my head spin.  Guess we'll have to see what she's got before I start worrying about how to maintain it.  Already dealing with super dry skin and still haven't quite conquered it.  Doctor told us today to try plain vaseline or aquafor. 

My mom and I attend a breast feeding support group meeting every month at the WIC office and after this last meeting the WIC lady, Lisa, has asked me to provide one on one coaching to the other new mom's that have no idea what they're doing with breast feeding.  I'm going to do it and I'm pretty excited about it.  I know exactly what its like to be alone and in need of support and I'm more than willing to help out any other new mommy that needs it too.  Especially considering Lily and I haven't had any problems at all with breastfeeding besides my milk taking a few extra days to finally come in.  This will be yet another journey that Lily and I can take together.  She's already a tiny little humanitarian helping the world around her.  :) 

Gotta couple of pictures of her sink bath to share.  Her dad doesn't like for me to share her naked butt all over facebook so I only posted one picture there.  Here I can show off as many as I'd like and not have to argue with him about it.  I promise though, Lily was not harmed in any way for this bath, it just looks like it because she hated every moment of it.
