So I wrote the blog post from yesterday at around 8:30 or 9 PM last night, which is notable mostly because Jessie was asleep at that point. I stayed up for another few hours and then conked out next to her, and then I had to wake her up at 8:30 the next day. That’s right, Jess slept for about 12 hours. Being pregnant is *rough*.
Anyway, when we woke up Rental Baby was already here and being cute. Mom Swanson had to run off and do some errands, and we decided to babysit for her so she didn’t have to deal with all her stuff *and* keep track of a baby. I know how hard that is, now.
So we were in charge of him for quite a while. I changed his diaper successfully, Jess played with him a bunch, and I introduced him to my laptop. What is it with me and introducing florida family to technology? Anyway, rental baby thought opening and closing my mac to see the light turn on and off was a blast, and he liked hammering on the keyboard, too. Also, my mac is delicious.
After that, though, he seemed to get a little anxious, and Jess and I both successfully diagnosed this as ‘needing a nap’. Being a baby, he fought against the tendency, but I just laid him down in bed and hummed to him for a while, and when Jess came in to see if I needed any help, Rental Baby was drifting off to sleep. I feel accomplished.
Another lesson learned, however. When you put a baby to sleep in a bed, you have to hang around them so that they don’t wake up and fall off. In the future, they’ll definitely have to nap in a crib or bassinet or something. Somebody write that down!

Don't you guys have a crib? What was that other thing you got for the baby?
We got a playscape/bassinet/changing table thing before. We also have a crib. The crib is wooden and sexy, the bassinet is silly-looking and practical.
