Charlie will be 2 weeks old tomorrow! Besides all the help from friends and family with dinners and taking care of the girls, there are a few other things that have helped me get through these long days and nights- I have to give a special thanks to the following:
Lanolin. I would not still be nursing without it!
Pampers Swaddlers. Boys are different than girls. I have always been a Huggies mom. Pampers smell weird, and I don't like the way they feel. BUT, everytime Charlie peed, he soaked his back. Seriously, EVERY time! I don't know how he did it. I filled his laundry basket in 2 days. We switched to Pampers and no more leaks.
And finally, a special thanks to good middle of the night TV shows! I don't recommend Food Network late at night as it usually makes me very hungry, but this show,
Ace of Cakes is awesome! It's just about this bakery,
Charm City Cakes, that makes the most beautiful, amazing cakes! Pastry Chef Duff Goldman and his crew are entertaining and crazy talented. Check out their cake gallery
HERE. Very fun to watch, and it doesn't make me hungry.
