Okay... Well Collins did it, but it was a big step for me too:) Collins slept in her crib the past two nights....yay baby girl!! She's been sleeping in the bassinet portion of her pack and play in our room, mainly for my own peace of mind. I tried her out for a nap in her crib on Tuesday and she did great so Tuesday night I said I would see about her sleeping in there. She did have about an hour of fussy time the first night but after that she was great! I'm actually pretty good at letting her cry it out, hope that doesn't make me sound like a bad momma but I've been preparing myself via moms on call and baby wise and I know in the end getting her to sleep good is a must. I've been around babies a lot and I know letting them cry for a few minutes is not going to harm them! Granted, i will say Collins has not had any uncontrollable crying yet so that may make a difference. She mainly just fusses and grunts a bit. Last night she did wonderful and didn't make a peep after I put her down. Generally she goes down about 10 and will sleep until about 2 30 or so and then nurses and goes back down from about 3 until 7. She's really been a great little sleeper so far and I pray it stays that way. She's had two nights where she fussed until about 2 and was wanting to nurse a lot, thinking growth spurts! Anyways sorry to bore, but I have to document this stuff for myself:)
I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...
