Sleep is a great thing!






So I'm sitting here on my couch, infront of the TV, with my laptop.......on my lap lol. I just finished a cup of coffee, and I think I'm gonna go hit the shower. Guess where Sairah is?? Yes, you have that right, she is SLEEPING. She is in her crib taking a NAP. She is doing what babies should do best, catching some good ole' Z's. Now I don't know what to do with mysefl, I feel overwhelmed, I have so much to catch up on!
This picture, I just took right now, look how dang peaceful that baby looks!!



Yesterday our day went like this:

8:00 AM (on the dot) Sairah woke up for the day. She had some boob in bed with me, and we got up to play. I gave her some solids after an hour, then we played for 30 minutes, she had some more boob and I put her in her crib, she fussed for a few minutes and was out by 10:15AM. She took a THREE hour nap, and so did I!!
she woke up at 1:30 ish and she had some mama milk, we played and hung out for 2 hours and she had some more mam milk (she likes BF alot lol) and she went down almost without a fuss and slept for 2 hours.
she woke up around 6PM and she ate again, we played, and she had solids, a nice massage, a bubble bath and some mama milk.

I put her in her crib at 8:00 PM and she was out by 8:10 she did fuss for almost the 10 minutes but she wasnt screaming or anything so I let her be. she did have several wakings between then and 12 AM, but I left her alone and she went back to sleep every time she woke up. Mind you, I was watching her every move on the video monitor..... I dont think I could handle this without watching her.

So at 12AM I got her becasue she woke up crying pretty loud, so I figured she must be hungry, she had both breasts and I put her back down, she wasnt happy at ALL...... SO I stood there with her patted her back, and then I just sat on my bed, which is next to her crib. I knew she would be more upset becasue I was there, but I wasnt about to leave her alone, it's too heart breaking. She was out withing 20 minutes. She whimpered like an hour after that, but she got her paci herself and fell back to sleep.
Mama went to bed at 2:40 AM and slept all the way till 8AM without any wakings!! Needless to say, I feel human again! and my little girl seemed so much happier in the morning! her black circles under her eyes are improving, she is looking GREAT!

Let me show you what my house is like, so you can see just how bad things are..........
















This is my Living room. Thats her co-sleeper I just took out to put her crib in. I know the place isnt decorated.......again lack of TIME. The picture doesnt look so bad, but that fish bowl hasnt been changed in 2 months, the poor littleguy must feel abandoned. and also you have to remember that I have a small place, its an apartment so little mess looks HUGE. Oh and you cant see all the crubss and that rug. YUCK.





















This here, is my dining room...........Im just to embarassed to show my kitchen and bathrooms.
But this just shows that something had to give, and it did, and I just hope this lasts!
Well Im off to hit the shower! I stink and my haris is crusty form the moose I put in there 2 days ago.
