When our newborn baby daughter arrived home, we thought we were totally prepared, everything in place, and nothing else to do but enjoy our new little girl. This was, of course, not the case. Even though we had spent nine whole months getting ready for her to come home, we forgot one important part of the equation. We forgot just how much a newborn baby will sleep during the day. We thought that the sheer pink curtains that we had hung on her windows were so cute. They were, but they did nothing to stop the hot summer sun from coming through.
As a result, I found myself running down to the store on the first day of our baby being at home, and buying some room darkening window shades for the nursery. Of course, it was the busiest day at the shops, and it took me almost the whole day to find what I was looking for. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to spend some time with her.
