Baby girl, It’s already been a week since you entered the world! Oh how we have loved getting to know you and love you. I must kiss you a thousand times a day!
Here is my top 10 from the week:
- Bryson driving like a mad man to the hospital. He’s such a good dad!
- Delivering you natural…it was tough, but so worth it!
- The hospital stay…it was like a mini vacation!
- Dinners dropped off each night from friends. Such a blessing!
- Nash’s funny comments about you. (He told me yesterday he would like 2 Meyers!)
- Dr. Denmark schedule.
- Bryson sleeping on the couch…so he can get some rest and you and I have girl time. 🙂
- The way Evyn wants to try to hold and pat you.
- Learning to breastfeed (ugh!)
- Your funny faces and sweet smile after you eat
The days may be long, but the years are short.

melt my heart!!
Could you possibly do a post on Dr. Denmark and how you decided to use her techniques? A few of the important details and how they have worked for you? I read a lot of the information on the link you provided but still would love to know more. Thanks for any help you might be able to provide!
Hey Megan.
I learned about Denmark from several family friends who I admire and had raised their children following Dr. D’s wisdom. I was skeptical at first, but the more I read about it, the more it just felt like the right plan for my family to follow. It’s certainly not for everyone and goes against a lot of techniques taught these days, but it’s tried and true and it works. I love that Dr. D saw more than 250,000 babies in her time as a doctor over 75 years…so I just trust that she knows what she is talking about! 🙂 The biggest thing about Denmark is the idea of sticking to a schedule (much like Baby Wise teaches). She teaches that children feel most secure when there is a consistent schedule and they know what to expect. So it doesn’t mean you have to stick to her exact schedule she suggests, but just finding a pattern that works for your family and being consistent. I could write a ton about it, but you should just check out the book: Dr. Denmark Said It. It lays out the schedule and explains the why behind it.
Hope that helps a little. I’m happy to answer any other questions you might have.
