I Wish I Had 4 Arms
This was us boarding on John’s first flight. He was just 10.5 weeks old. I could have used an extra set of hands. I often wonder why women don’t grow and extra pair of arms during pregnancy. Wouldn’t that be convenient? Since I can’t have four arms, I would normally recommend you use a carrier, … Continue reading
How to Bathe Infants Without a Tub

What’s In My Bag (Flying with Infant)
When flying with infant I prefer to pack a diaper bag as well as a carry on backpack. I feel like I can keep things better organized and more quickly accessible in the diaper bag. Then I pack the back up and emergency items in the backpack. Here is what I am packing in my … Continue reading
