Great news about Devrim, Sehra. Now there's a bright boy!

And yeah, babies smell soooo nice. I haven't gone and sniffed other bubs so I'm guessing maybe our own babies smell the best to us? Heh.

I'm still trying to work out if my Willa is a good sleeper or not. I suspect she is lol. When she sleeps, boy does she sleep. When she fusses, the whole apartment complex knows about it. I came into this knowing zilch about babies, so I learn about what other bubs are doing through you guys and from relos who have had them and CAN remember

As for smiles, we're seeing the bowel movement smiles and the sleep smiles, but no real heart-melters yet. Though I can see she's gearing up for one each time her daddy plays his 'nose attack' game with her. It's so adorable, I'm the one who starts giggling when he does it.

I really wanted to ask you ladies this question: what have you done exclusively FOR YOURSELF since you had your babies? I'm interested to know because yesterday I had an extra long shower and then after, I took the time to put on some products on and do some badly needed grooming. Helps now that I can see and reach my toes (among other bits) :P

I felt brilliant after! However, I kept feeling guilty because DH was looking after Willa and every minute extra I spent fussing over myself, was time I could have spent taking over so DH could resume his work. I've grown used to splash and dash showers while simultaneously peeking out the door to see if DD has stirred. Someone on a thread mentioned something about mums always eating the burnt toast. I totally see that now!

Have you guys had 'date nights' with your partners since bringing baby home? How do you manage time with your partners now? Any recommendations or suggestions?
