I’ve totally been a blog slacker. I’ve realized in the last week or so that the reason I’m a blog slacker is because I no longer have either a) a baby sleeping in my arms with nothing better to do than go on the computer or b) a baby who takes two 1.5 naps per day. Read the rest of this entry »
Well, Gwen officially has her first cold.
Pout.
Last night was miserable. I tried to sleep propped up with her on my chest so she could breathe, but she still woke at LEAST every hour. She only nursed once because she couldn’t breathe, poor thing! We couldn’t even put her down to bed last night, she’d wake up and SCREAM as soon as her little head hit the matress. She seemed a bit better today, especially after her 3 loooooong naps (I held her while she napped so she could actually rest). She went down around 8:00 with a little wimper, but she’s definitely doing much better than last night!
I just hope I get some sleep tonight.
We’re beginning to transition her to the crib for the first part of the night, since the last few nights (excluding last, of course) she has been trying to flip herself onto her tummy while swaddled. We figured we’d be the worst parents ever putting her down on her tummy on our adult bed and leaving her to sleep like that alone, so we’re trying to put her in the crib. When she wakes up for her first feed (normally around 10:30 or 11), I’ll either bring her to bed with me for the night, or nurse her and put her back down in the crib so Brad and I can start the night out alone.
It sounds great in principal, but I haven’t slept without my baby in over a year! (Yes, I’m counting the time she was in my tummy!) I think it’s going to be harder on me than on her …
I just wrote a huge blog post. And hit ‘publish’. And lost it. Woe is me. Read the rest of this entry »
