Well, Karis is 7 weeks old as of this past Saturday, and thus baby boot camp has ended. For those who aren't familiar with that phrase, it refers to the first 6 weeks of a baby's life. Typically during this transitional phase, anything goes... dirty dishes, mountains of unfolded laundry, missed calls never returned.. you get the idea. And of course this is also the time frame when babies absolutely cannot be spoiled, which means lots of cuddling & rocking them to sleep. Since they're so new and really need to put on some pounds, baby boot camp also usually includes lots of nursing, to the point where sometimes it feels like that is all you accomplish in a day... because in reality, sometimes it is! ;)
Here are a few changes in our lives as a result of baby boot camp being over:
-longer stretches of night time sleep (a gradual change)
-the re-emergence of cloth diapers
-more wifely responsibilities returning, namely home cooked dinners (even if some are outta my freezer)
-a desire to exercise (even I'm a little surprised by that one!)
And most importantly, the end of baby boot camp reminds us how thankful we are to the Lord, the giver of all good gifts, for giving us 6+ weeks with our Sweet Girl, Karis Grace.
Thess are her teensy cloth diapers hanging out to dry in the sun... a beautiful combination of summer + babies, if you ask me.
