Nhiya's First Bathing Experience!

 It was a trip and a half to get this little girl a stinken bath!!! The nurses wouldnt have a bath the first day because she wasnt eating. She would latch but not suck. She was just so tired, so was mommy. After half a day of many different specialists and nurses trying to help but not getting anywhere, all we wanted was to wash off the stuff from her birthing experience the day before. This might not sound like a big deal to anyone else, but to us, that was our goal! After a few nurses came in and out of their shifts, we finally got one feeding in, which is what they asked in order for her to get a bath. Then the Nazi nurse of the century came in and dashed all our hopes of a bath for our sweet dirty little girl and said she needed to be able to have another full feeding!

Well poop on you nurse!! How would you like womb boogies on you all day and night and still try to be able to eat eh?! So I gave her a quick bathe down with wipeys and eventually we got another short feeding out of her. Finally they saw fit to give her a bath. I was excited for Alex to do her first bath. 

 As you can see Nhiya LOVED it! haha. She sure is cute when she's mad!

As you can see by Alex's best hairdo and finely shaved face, 

 

we got a lot of sleep there at the hospital!

She seemed to calm down and really like when he washed her hair and scrubbed her little scalp-y

Mesmirized by Daddy. So grateful for his gentle touch

 Alex went to give her a kiss and she started sucking on his nose instead :)

Finally a beautiful womb-boogie free baby!!!

Peek-a-boo!!

Her hair went all fuzzy after her bath. Seems silly, but I thought it was soo cute!

Hairy shoulders

Cuddle time with mommy! This is still her favorite position to sleep and to cuddle and she still holds onto your shirt the whole time.

My little stinkers thinker....

 Getting all of our stuff ready to go and finally take this parenting solo! Not scary at all!

Coming Home!!!

He's a Daddy!!!!!!
