I just read back to my earlier blogs and laughed. Things are much more calm now, I can't remeber life without you and I don't really want to. You are on a pretty consistent schedule of Eat, Play, Sleep every 3 hours and then we put you to bed around 10. You are sleeping in your crib now! You love it in there and it was an easy transition. Somewhat, we slept in the guest room for 2 nights bc it's right next door and I may have stared at the video monitor all night long. I read a lot on transitioning your baby into the crib and everything listed two methods a.)cry it out method & b.) no cry method. Guess which one I chose? B! This clearly states that it is more difficult on the caregiver who decides to use this method bc it involves getting up to soothe you when you wake up at night. Well that's me and if it means you are comfortable and happy I will gladly sacrifice my sleep. Cry it out method said awful things about babies feeling abandoned and scared and I'm just not ready for you to feel those emotions quite yet..or ever. Ok I know I'm not naive I know they will come soon enough but for now, while I can, I just want to make things as good as possible for you, my angel. I will also say that I have a pretty low stress job and do not have to report to an office at 8am so hard nights are much easier for me to cope with than normal working moms. I am very very lucky and try not to take it for granted. So if there are any moms out there who are all for the crying method than by all means, to each is own and I absolutely mean that. One of the hardest things about being a new mom is other people's judgement and I am definitely not here to do that!
In this picture I imagine you saying, "Mommy, please don't use the cry it out method" haha
And then in this one you are saying, "YAY, thanks for not using that method"
You are so stinking cute!
