I lost my keys and my cell phone. I know they are in one of three places: JuJu’s car (he says they aren’t), my step-dad’s van (we picked the parents up from the airport in their van last night), or my parents’ house. At least, I hope so. I wasn’t able to go anywhere today or call anyone but that’s alright. I’m resourceful. I did laundry!

Peanut is taking her only daytime nap right now but at least she’s in her own room. I think she might get too much sleep at night. Is that even possible? She goes to sleep around 1am and sleeps until about 5am, then from 6:30am-9am, and then I usually try to coax her back to sleep until 11:30am so that mommy can get more sleep. Which means that she is awake from 11:30am to 1am which is 13 hours minus a 3-hour nap somewhere during the day (like right now). She power-naps but I worry that she isn’t getting enough sleep. She just likes to party with her mommy all day! I love playing with her and snuggling but I don’t want her to be exhausted.

We’ll figure it out. I started swaddling her for naps and bedtime and that seems to help keep her asleep in her crib. When we cosleep she isn’t swaddled because she doesn’t startle herself awake while laying next to me but she does it when she’s alone in her crib. I have to swaddle her before she falls asleep otherwise I’ll end up waking her up to swaddle her and that’s just stupid.

My angel is waking up! That’s good news for my breasts because they are starting to hurt! Gotta love that burning feeling in my nipples. Awesome!

  1. I LOVE that hair – happy that you boobs are feeling better :)

  2. Dude she is CUTE.

    My suggestion for sleep is to try a noise machine. She definitely should be getting more sleep than that it seems to me. I had to hold Keegan for like 90% of his naps till he was about 3 months old. People kept telling me I was spoiling and he’d NEVER learn to nap on his own and they were wrong. We just got him on a schedule and had a routine and he started taking two long naps a day (1 or 2 hours, sometimes 3 hours even!) up till just a few months ago.

    We got a book called The No-Cry Sleep Solution- I loved it.
