Following the weekend party.......

What a pretty color! Freshly dressed for the day, fed and zonked out.

The shower was busy and crowded and fun - filling about four rooms of our small house! It was great fun and lasted until after dark. Thank you to everyone who attended, helped out, and sent gifts.
Lilly - who has had the most beautiful baby complexion I have ever seen - -chose the day of her shower to start her baby acne.
By Sunday - it was much worse and looking a little more like eczema - I sent Uncle Willie out for Gentle Naturals Baby Eczema Cream. The Gentle Naturals has an extended line of baby care products - which so far, I am very fond of! We started with the Tummy Soother which seems to work like a miracle! The line also carries a sunscreen which I'm sure we will be getting as well!
Monday: the cream was helping, but it was requiring a diligent application process.
Miss Lilly had her doctor re-check yesterday. Her ears are now fine.
She weighed in at a very healthy 9lbs, 3 oz. and was 21" long.
He recommended adding a .5% hydrocortizone cream to help some of the inflammation areas - just for a couple of days. It has helped tremendously.
Last night Lilly started out in a floral sleeper. Less than an hour later she filled her diaper - up to her neckline. One bath later and into a sweet pink ever-so-soft Carters micro-fleece sleeping bag. She has never slept better. I think it was her pjs.
