Mom makes a splash selling ‘Tummy Tubs’

For some reason this is making me giggle. Um... isn't this a bucket?

She discovered Dutch baby-bathing device that holds them in fetal position

Today I find this humorous, but a few months ago when Ella was screaming her head off for every bath, I might have tried it... I was going crazy every time it was time for a bath. I hated it more than she did! It is painful to listen to a newborn scream and turn purple... I wonder if these work? Luckily Ella loves her bath now. I would never have believed it months ago!

Amanda, seriously, we don't live that far apart. We really should see each other. Do you ever come into Asheville anymore? i think the last time i saw you was that freak random time at Charlotte Russe! I wanna see your babies! And you can see how fat my butt has gotten! It's awesome!

Megan-I can't believe she hated baths! Ella is so laid back! I agree though, when a baby screams try EVERYTHING, just don't pay a ton of money...grab a bucket;). It needs to stop raining so we can walk!
