How to de-boogie a baby

Because Hubby works in a hospital and also goes to school, he's exposed to a lot of cooties. Which means Baby and I are exposed to a lot of cooties. A lot meaning we had a house full of sickies six weeks ago and we have a house full of sickies now. Fan-freaking-tastic. Which means I've been getting a lot of practice de-snotting Baby.

Let me tell you: not all boogies are created equal. And you can't really pretend like they are. You need different boogie tools for different boogies.

Remember that boogie bulb everyone told you to steal from the hospital when your baby was born? They can keep it.

When you need to suck humongous boogies out of a tiny baby nose, you need a snot sucker that a) you can see into and b) uses more force than that little bulb thingie inflating. Yes, the NoseFrida is more expensive, but it is totally worth the price! It's so rewarding to see boogies get sucked out of Baby's nose... and he loves it. Which may have more to do with me calling myself a big weirdo in a goofy voice than the actual snot sucking...

Is it weird that I enjoy getting Baby's boogies?

But I digress. You also need an Oogie Bear for smaller boogies. Think of it like an ice cream scooper, but for boogies. Mmmm, ice cream. I'll have to make some once the cooties subside and my taste buds can thoroughly enjoy things again...

How do you feel about de-snotting other human beings? Are there any other tools you think I need to add to my boogie-fighting arsenal?

Thanks, baby!

One of the things I was so excited about getting yesterday was the baby thank you cards I ordered. You know how Amazon has everything? They even have thank you cards themed to coordinate with your baby shower! How cute are these woodland critter cards to go with our woodland critter nursery theme? 

I'm trying to stay on top of my to-do list, so I decided to get as much as possible done before our baby shower this weekend (6 more weeks until baby's due, so I'm freaking out a little (lot) about not getting all of our baby essentials already). I wrote the return addresses on the envelopes, folded all the cards, and finished the first few thank you's for baby gifts that have already trickled in. And they're ready to go now that I picked up some cute "Celebrate!" stamps from the post office, for which hubby laughed at me: "what's wrong with the stamps we already have?" 

"They didn't match. Duh." What's the point of having a theme if you're not going to use it? Silly hubby.
