Sling

The outfits shown in yesterday and today's posts are size 0-3 months so thankfully we are getting some use out of some of them before the weather changes. These were both gifts from a Canadian friend I've emailed with for 5 years (thanks, Krissy!).

Well I am very grateful for the sling (thanks, Mom). Since Nadia isn't crazy about the bouncer or the swing, I am very glad she is usually content in the sling as this enables me to get housework done, go grocery shopping, etc. Today she was in the sling while I was at work. It seems it takes me about 90 minutes to get myself showered etc. plus nurse her etc. This means until we move I'll need to get up at 6:00am MWF and then 5:45am after we move. Last night she went down at 9:30pm, and I got at least 6.5 hours of sleep between then and 6:15am when I needed to get up. I used to get 8-9 hours, but today I proved I could function at work with less than 7. I'm going to send her doctor a message to let her know today is the 9th day of needing to frequently use the aspirator on her. I hope she feels back to normal soon!!

Love the picture! What type of sling did you get? I just love slings for getting your hands free... and for soothing fussy babies! :)
