..went off without a hitch.
after her umbilical cord stump fell off yesterday i was so excited to give her her first bath.
first, i cleaned her face with a warm wash cloth, wiped the guck in her eyes with a slightly soaked cotton ball, and then swabbed behind ears and in the folds and crevices in her chubby neck where milk and drool sometimes deposits with a cotton swab dipped in Burt's bees apricot oil
she was cool for most of this.
next, i wrapped her in her towel and put some apricot oil on her hair and added some Burt's Bees shampoo and scrubbed the little cradle cap on her hair. she wasn't feeling this much. she did LOVE the warm water i poured over her head to rinse out the shampoo. i did this over the sink, keeping her in the football hold so the towel didn' get wet
then, i put her in the spongy bath tub foam on top of the regular tub and scrubbed her down with a wash cloth. she screamed bloody murder at first, but then when I started to rinse her with the warm water underneath her, she calmed down. I think she liked the water.
finally, i wrapped her in her cute pink little terry cloth kimono robe and gave her an infant massage which she ABSOLUTELY LOVED so much that she purred like a cat! cute!
she slept like a baby (oh she is a baby) for i think 4 hours after that! Sweet Sweet Water, eh? Oh to be clean
