Well Friday was a great day for Niko and I. We got up around 8:00 and started getting ready to go to the Providence New Mommy group. It didn't start until 10:30 but I wanted to make sure we could get out of the house on time. I got Niko all ready and then put him in front of the bathroom door in his car seat so I could take my shower while still watching him :) I'm learning a few tricks so I can still find time to take a shower every other day!
Both Niko and I really enjoyed the New Mommies group. It's two hours long and yesterday there was about 20-25 women and their babies. We sat around in large circle and the facilitator brought up discussions and everyone chimed in with questions or comments. We talked about co-sleeping, pacifiers, breast feeding, bottle feeding, lovies, lots of stuff. It was really interesting and I met some nice ladies and their little ones. Niko was really good the whole time, he stayed awake most of the time but the couple of times he tried to nod off other babies squeals promptly woke him up with a start! He had some pretty loud gassy noises too which was pretty funny to the Moms around me. I was getting nervous I might run out of diapers as I had to change his diaper three times within a 30 minute period!
After the group we came home and had a nap together. Then at 4:30 I went to get a massage with Marika. That was so nice. It was the first one I've had since giving birth. It was very relaxing and I look forward to the next one. It's such a nice treat to give myself. I would like to start giving Niko some baby massage before bed each night. A mother at the group meet up said she does this and it just relaxes her little girl and makes her content. I have a couple of books that have baby massage in them I just need to find some time to read up on it.
After the massage I came home and Auntie Fe came over with a bottle of wine to share with us later in the hot tub. She wanted to get a massage as well but couldn't find a place to get in so the hot tub became the next best option. Before the hot tub we went out to eat at Kinta which is a really good Asian restaurant where you choose which veggies you want to go into your meal. I really enjoyed it and we'll definitely go back. Felicia had a really yummy drink called a Pink Tiger. I've got to find a recipe for that on the Internet because it would be a perfect concoction for this summer out on the back porch.
We came home from dinner and got into our swim suits. Niko was parked in his stroller by the hot tub and we all jumped in. I was in for about ten minutes and a half glass of wine when Niko woke up and was hungry. Ahhh....duty called and I had to get out.
We had a very nice day and night together and we called it a day. Niko went to bed like a perfect angel. He was asleep in 5 minutes and didn't wake until 2:30 for a feeding. It was wonderful.
Well I see my laptop battery is getting low so I better wrap this up. I will write more later.
