Henna and Baby Safety

Last weekend, Ray and I dyed my hair with Henna. What an experience! First off, I LOVE the results...my hair now has this really cool natural looking red/auburn tint to it and is super shiny and silky. But, man, it was quite a process. Basically, Ray frosted my head with this mud-like substance as if I were a cupcake. (Its important to note that I made this mud-like substance way too thick and it was almost disasterous, but Ray saved the day as usual.) Then I got to sit around for 4 hours with my head wrapped in plastic and covered in heavy henna mud. All in all, it was quite and experience. And since I think it looks so great, we're gonna have to do it OVER and OVER and OVER again. I'm definitely a henna hair kind of girl.

In other news, Ray and I attended an Infant Safety and CPR class last night. It was quite a perspective changer. Besides the insanely intense reality check that we will be responsible for a little human being and may need to save her life one day, it was also our first dose of the current "how to safely raise a baby" rules. Did you know that it is currently recommended to have the baby sleep in the same room as the parents for the first 6 months in order to prevent SIDs? We definitely didn't...introduce a change in our original plan.

Can we really do this?

YES WE CAN!
