Rub-a-Dub Erin's First Time in the Tub

Erin had her first 'real' bath today.  We've given her sponge baths in her bed, but they just weren't cutting it anymore.  You wouldn't think that a 4 lb 4 oz baby couldn't stink, but she did.  Erin's nurse, Dea, suggested that we give her a 'big girl bath' so that's what we did.  Now Erin smells like a sweet baby girl.


Daddy is getting the bathtub filled up with warm water.


Bath time! We even had a rubber ducky in the tub with Erin. 
(Thanks to the March of Dimes who gives them to the babies for each holiday.)

Erin slept through her first bathtub experience.

Naked baby without any of her probes on because they came off in the tub.


We haven't had a 'family' picture with Erin in almost 6 weeks.

Daddy is getting her dressed in her newborn onesie and preemie sleeper. I had so much fun shopping for clothes.

Erin without her CPAP prongs in her nose because she was getting a new hat and prongs. She was able to breath on her own the whole time they were out of her nose.

The clean and happy baby girl who slept through the whole event.
  Luckily, we got some videos to show her when she is older (along with a lot of pictures).
