Dry-off
Massage (a bit of tummy time while we massage her back!)
Get in to Jammies (she hates this part!)
Cuddles from Mommy
Then daddy gives her her last bottle of the night
He puts her in bed awake but drowsy :-)
We keep the room lit only by a lamp, so she already knows it is now sleepy time.

Imke 3 Month Update & my check-up
Went for my 3 month check-up this morning and all is hunky-dory. Doc said that if we want to have another baby we need to wait another 3 months & then we can start trying - he says as long as there is a year between births there should be no problemos :-) So I decided to skip the Mirena until we have decided IF & WHEN we want to try again - no use putting it in now & then taking out again in 3 months time..... SO the big discussions start........... LOL!
Also, asked the doc (just for interest sake) about the baby powder causing cervical cancer and he said that there is no truth in that. According to him the thing that causes cervical cancer is the HPV (Human Pappilon Virus). (But use your own judgment here, girls!)
Imke is doing wonderfully! She sleeps 11 - 12 hours a night but during the day she only naps for 35 - 45 minutes 3 times a day! So we play a lot and sing a lot and cuddle a lot! I enjoy her so very much! There are obviously times when it gets a bit much & I find myself wanting to get out a bit, but I miss her so much when I do go somewhere :-) She loves 'talking' and she makes the cutest sounds!!
Her gums are all white & swollen from her teeth coming in - so one of these days we are going to have teething rings in the fridge! Otherwise she is doing so well - she is a real little angel! We are so blessed with this little person in our lives!!

Imke 13 week update!
Baby name: Imke
Age: 13 weeks & 1 day
Birth date: 02 June 09
Birth stats: born 09:19, 3.24kg, 47cm
Current Weight & length: will know on Friday when we go for the 3month check-up & vaccinations
Recent milestone reached: the is reaching out for toys (oh and my hair!!!) and grasping so nicely! And the belly laughs are on their way - she tries to but it is not quite there yet :-) Oh, and she has discovered that her fists are the most tasty things on earth!
Next milestone: Ai, she holds her head up so well, but still slumps when propped up to sit - so that is the next BIG thing!
How is baby sleeping at night? She sleeps through yippee!!! from 19:30 till 06:30 most nights :-D
And day naps? not so great he he he! She loves to sleep where there is LOTS of noise for some strange reason!
Feeding times? Going well - she drinks about 140ml per feed on average!
What is baby doing right now? SLEEPING whoo hoo!!!
How is mommy feeling? Doing well - very tired but coping OK
How is daddy coping? The novelty has worn off a bit I think - he still tries to make it for bath time but not as religiously as in the beginning....
