Day 2 carrying baby

Todays was not much different than last day. A few problems with writing but again were soon solved. I do realize though that having a actual baby would be much more difficult!

Day with Babies

The first day with the 'babies" we were given was nothing very difficult. I found it a bit difficult to write without to hands to hold down the paper, but a little angle change solved that. Otherwise that it was not hard to deal with.
