Daddy and Madison

sweet baby

Man oh man...

I just don't feel like I can take another day! I asked to doc today to "help" me out..she said no. Depressing. We are all set to go next Friday, bright and early. Can't wait, but wait...I am not READY! Freaking out just a bit, don't mind me. Life is more difficult the more pregnant I become. I can't imagine having to wait another 3 weeks, for my due date! Thank GOODNESS we have been able to get Madison on an excellent schedule before this baby comes. I can't imagine caring for a newborn the way things were rolling. She was sleeping with us, not falling asleep until about 10 or 11pm most nights, waking 3-5 times a night and wouldn't sleep without another bottle each time. Awoke wet most mornings, so required a bright and early diaper and sleeper change...then throughout the day, required to be held for her naps or she would wake right up and repeat. Life has become much more managable now that we have gotten some sense. Now she goes to slee...

Co-sleepers, take heart...

I recently took Madison for her one year check up. I told the pediatrician she was still co-sleeping (where she had been since she was BORN) and I had resigned myself to the fact that I missed that *learning window* where she might be able to adapt to a new sleeping system. My ped assured me that it was not too late. There was HOPE! I told her thanks, but I don't think so. I just couldn't imagine she would not cry for 12 hours straight if I put her into her crib again. Did not believe her. Until...one night, in her usual spot (right between us) she was totally not going to go sleep. She was playing, sitting up, talking...we decided RIGHT then to give it a try. You wouldn't believe this baby, who I had to cuddle and fed to sleep each night, only cried for about 20 minutes and went to sleep. The first night, she did spend a lot of time sleeping while sitting up. But each night since, it has gotten better. Last night, I handed her a bottle and she laid herself down...

Finally, some new pictures for ya!

Little baby, growing up so fast!
