day 2...bath time

carson slept brilliantly through his first night (although he probably didn't know the difference) and so did mommy and dad.  i slept so hard that ak had to wake me up so i could be part of::

BATH TIME!!

we went to the nursery where mabel (one of the nursery midwives) showed us how we should bathe our son. 
Getting prepped for the big show...it's a nail biting experience :)

non too pleased to be out in the cold open air.  perhaps anticipation of the bath, but he is going to love bath time (unlike his uncle)
we learned some tips from mabel and the other midwives (testing the water with our elbows, how to hold carson, etc).  after getting some good info, we were ready for:
the big dip!

and the big cry!  changing temperatures is tough
 carson was initially shocked, but after getting some warm bath water poured over his back, he was loving it. 
look at those wrinkly little hands...and he was only in the water for a few seconds :)

angry to be finished with bath time (and out in the open air).  this picture has a little feel of lion king...the circle of life!

getting dried off and nice and warm in his little gown

his first bath and he did great

after some big activity, he was back to his usual peaceful self.  looks like someone is just about ready for a nap!
we are looking forward to a first bathtime at home, but it was great to get some good tips from experienced pros...just like we will be in a few months time.
