Scrub-A-Dub...My First Bath!

So, our first sponge bath before her umbilical cord fell off was quite dramatic...during the middle the bath, our phones began ringing off the hook, leaving urgent messages from WRAL's weather center stating that we were under a tornado watch! Me, being a weather weirdo who is terribly afraid of severe storms, freaked out!  So, we wrapped up the first bath experience super quick and headed downstairs to turn on the news and put up the patio furniture out on the deck.  Thankfully, 30 minutes later the dark clouds rolled away without a drop of rain falling and the "first bath" story will always have an exciting twist!
This is what you call "bathing under extreme caution" 
Thankfully, she loved it!  
Our grand audience...Mom, Aunt Lynn, and Little Sugar!

After getting several sponge baths out of the way and becoming more comfortable with the whole bath thing in general, her umbilical cord finally fell off on May 16th when she was 18 days old! Now, it was time to really get down and dirty with a full blown bath! She TOTALLY loved it! :)

Look, Mom...no cord! :)
