My kid enjoys being in the bathtub more than anything, it seems. Say it's because the warmth and the whole "being suspended in liquid" thing is like the womb, but I think it's a trait she gets from her dad. Those of you who know me know that I spend about 1 hour a day in the bathtub. Rarely do I take a shower, and sometimes I even start taking a shower and then put the plug in and lay back and let the tub fill up that way. Baths are the way to go, and as it turns out, are a pretty dern effective method of birth control (for me, at least). Without diverting from the subject of the post too much, I'll just say that Jess and I used no form of birth control at all for almost two years, I believe. But I was taking a bath every day in really hot water, and staying in for sometimes upward of 2 hours. Run the water hot, and when it gets cold, drain it and fill the tub back up with hot again. I digress...
Anyways, my girl loves the bath. We don't really use the baby bathtub thing, Jess just gets in and holds her in the water. Allison gets really slow and relaxed, and looks around, and flares her nostrils, and makes faces. She loves it. And her mom and I just laugh and laugh and kiss her and laugh. She's my girl...

That birth control method is too time consumming.. Go to the clinic
dude.
Well, it's a personal pleasure that also doubles as birth control. I LIKE taking a bath, and look forward to it every night. That's where I do much of my reading, and even a little bit of sleeping. Just so happens that it lowers sperm motility as well. NOTE to anyone reading this: Do NOT rely on a hot bath as a source of birth control if you are sexually active and not wanting to get pregnant. It just ahppens to work for me, at least to this point. Don't rely on it, and if you do, don't blame me.
