She has finally learned the difference between her nights and days. Man we went through at least 2 good weeks where she wasn't going to sleep until 3 or 4 in the morning...one day is was 6 am. Then she just wanted to sleep all day. I got wise after that morning. I started the routine they talk about in the book Babywise. The one where you feed, keep them awake, then let them sleep and then start all over 3 hours later. It has really worked. It is supposed to get your baby to sleep through the night by 6 weeks. That would be amazing.
Last night I went to sleep at midnight (early for me) and Rick was just going to put her to bed and then come to bed himself. I went to sleep the minute my head hit the pillow. (I have not been getting tons of sleep.) And I didn't wake up until 5:30. Amazing I thought, I can't believe Reagan slept that long. Only to find out later that she cried with Rick for 2 hours after I went to bed. My sweet husband did everything to try to get her to sleep. He even took her on a drive to look for deer. I think the looking for deer part was for his own sanity. So we are making progress but slowly. Hopefully in the next few weeks she will start sleeping longer and longer. I miss my full nights of sleep.
But man is she worth it. She is the most precious thing in the world. When she looks up at me and smiles (most likely from gas) I can't imagine life without her.
Here are a couple of her latest pics.
I have a thing for clothing with ears.
Yay she's finally awake during the day.
Leah, our very first babysitter. We went out to breakfast on MLK and Leah watched Reagan for us!!
Out at breakfast. Flying biscuit..my favorite!
Leah bought her this cute monkey hat...She is adorable.
More jackets with ears!
I found her in the swing asleep with her hands like this.
She was looking at my very skeptically. She is a funny girl.
We went for our first walk around the neighborhood this week. Hopefully we will have many more walks to come so that I can lose the rest of my baby weight and get back in my regular clothes. I am getting very tired of my same elastic waistband jeans.
Well thats all for now!! I will do another update soon!
