Josh and I are having a great time seeing our friends and family in Chicago. Last night we visited our cousins Matt & Vanda and their new baby Nissa and Asher who is a wonderful big brother to his new sister. It was great to see them and also nice to talk to them about what works and what doesn't with their new baby. We learned the football hold - no fail helped Nissa to stop crying every time! You put the babyface down over your arm (between their legs and arms) and rest the baby's chest on your palm and hold. You can rock them, but Nissa liked just being in that position. Also the shushing...when babies cry you shush in their ear repeatedly until they stop crying. I think it sounds like the white noise in the belly before they are born. Thanks Matt & Vanda for all of the great tips! I'm sure that we will need them! :)
I'm almost 16 weeks now...feeling great...leaving for Michigan on Friday!
