Welcoming Baby Jayden!

Scarlett was thrilled today to attend Jo and Chris' baby shower. She always has a thing for pregnant bellies and was dying to see Jo. In order to make our lives less miserable during the party with Chester, I fixed a routine to make sure he gets his nap, gets his food and gets his anything to avoid tantrums. Of course, it didn't help at all.

Routine goes...

Gave him a bottle of milk at 6.45am, played cooking with him till 8am, fed him whole wheat cereal and one whole kiwi with some Youtube videos on TV, then brought him for a walk (it was a painful walk for me considering I have to walk up a lot of stairs and slopes with him) at 9am and came home at about 9.40am. My Fitbit records 5k steps just from the stroll with Chester in the morning. Bath him and then put him to bed at 10am whereby he dozed off in about 10 minutes. 

During his two hour nap, I went for a quick run. At the party, as usual, Chester had to do his signature cry by the door when he saw a huge group of people. We distracted him with some party balloons and he warmed up pretty quick.

Apart from a few crazy tantrums, he managed to sit through the party with us, which I thought was pretty awesome. I was prepared to leave early at any time. Balloons helped a lot. The last baby shower I had was Ginette's about two years ago. I remembered I was trying for a baby and then rubbed her belly to ask for some baby luck. It sure did happen because I got pregnant two months later. This time, I don't need anymore baby luck.
