A few things that have made this week easier:

Twilight Turtle Constellation Nightlight. Courtesy of Grandma Judy. I saw this in Lola’s room when I visted MJ’s over the summer and thought it was so cute I added it to the baby registry. Little did I know it would actually come in handy so soon. Runs on batteries, which is actually a plus for us because our outlets are screwy. Turn it on and it stays on for 45 minutes, perfect amount of time to drift off to sleep (actually, it would need to be on for 5 minutes for us to drift off to sleep). Cute softly lit stars litter our ceiling, and you can choose between amber, green and blue. Gives off enough light so I can find my way around the bedroom, and sorta see what Lily is up to if necessary.

Nursing Pads. Courtesy of the boss. I also have washable cloth pads, which I’m mostly using, but the small handful of disposable ones that the boss threw my way are quite comfortable and do not leak at all. The cloth ones I also like (Thanks, Sis), since they are easy to wash, and well, we are a family of reusable goods. But, I think I will also invest in some more of these disposable ones for their comfort and convenience.

Baby Mittens. Suzanne gave us these little mittens that Lily wears so she won’t scratch her face up. We bought some more at Target, but they don’t stay on as well as this one pair that Suzanne donated to our Lily cause. We love ’em. Thanks, Suzanne!
