As you noted, everyone has differences in what the necessities of the first weeks are (a discussion that is continually debated throughout the rest of your kiddo's life). But you have gathered a great list! I would totally agree with many of the things on your list, items I had forgotten about when you asked for ideas on FB before the Little was born. I love the Netflix's idea. I too remember trying to read and being quite unsuccessful. Plus, there isn't much on TV during many of those nighttime feedings. Also, I remember my mom showing us how to swaddle with a regular blanket. A fantastic skill to have as a new parent, if I say so. I've heard that kiddos enjoy sounds like ocean "music" since especially during those precious first months, it mimics the sounds of the womb. I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying your time with the Little. It does fly by too quickly. I can hardly believe my little one is already 2! I look forward to hearing more of your adventures as you dive into motherhood. :) Oh Jana, my dear, it is wonderful to see how you are growing into the role of motherhood.
