Day 1 - hopefully over

So our first day of Baby in the harness is hopefully over (please Lord, let her be down for the night!) Baby seems to be starting to adapt but is not happy to have her kicking and stretching ranges limited..

The big thing today was trying to figure out how to still swaddle her so she does not bat her head and wake herself up without pressing on her legs or harness straps. We were victorious on this one.

The next big thing is trying to figure out how to dress her! She is immediately out of size 6 clothes. We think size 9 month might work, if not 12 month - I washed everything that did not need stain treatment today, that will be washed tomorrow. As far as I can tell pants appear to be completely out, and sleepers are still a question mark. It looks like long sleeved T-shirts and onesies, dresses, and those longer sleeping gowns (and those convertible gowns that can be snapped as either a pant suit or a gown) will be the order of the day, but we will keep trying to figure that out too. (By the way, do you know who is carrying the gowns and convertible gowns right now?)

I have realized that it is all a learning curve. By God's grace we are going to figure all this out, and by His strength we are going to keep moving forward.

While this is certainly not what I would have chosen, I am trusting God through this, He is always faithful, always good, and always loving.

I don't know how much I will be here this week, but I did want to pop in tonight and let you know that we are doing better than expected.
