i can't fall asleep...

She roughly has 5 teeth coming in. She has had a few them poke their way through now and others are on the verge. It has not been good times here lately. We are at a constant state of not sleeping, not eating, teething tablets, or mortin. It is so tiring. She can't fall asleep half of the time or she does not want to eat her favorite foods. We are always taking a nap to catch up on sleep because we were up all night or really early this morning. She was up at 5:30 but did not get out of her crib until later, much later like 6:30. She was mad at us for getting her but mad for being in her crib. She is just upset far more often right now.


I wish my sweet little baby comes back soon and all this teething stuff will be put on the back burner soon.

Little Miss

Little Miss thought it was a great idea to not fall asleep until 9pm last night. She had a late nap so she did not get up until 5pm. I put her down at 7 per usual when she has a late nap.

She sat in her bed crying and whining and playing for 2 hours.


Now I think she is screaming because she is up.


Edit: she is teething again. how do I know? She did not fall asleep right away tonight as well. poor baby and she still has so many more teeth to go in her little lifetime.

What was it like?

What was it like to have your first mother's day?

Let's see, someone, (not naming names *cough Dylan cough*) woke up at midnight last night and did not fall back to sleep until 3:30am. Other people tried everything in their little books to figure out how to make said baby go back to sleep. It finally took a call to our pediatrician that told her we mean business and you should be sleeping. So she finally fell asleep then woke up again at 5ish in the morning. She got up at 8am for the day.


We had bunch with Grandma LeeLee. It was busy like last year but this time we got there early enough to get seated right away and our food somewhat quickly. We decided to forgo a morning nap since schedule were all screwed up anyway and went over to Grandma Janet and Grandpa Jack's house. We hung out with them for a little while. Then someone fell asleep in the car so we drove around and talked for a while. Then we realize that we should be getting home for someone to finish their nap in their crib and said parents could take a nap. We all did not wake up until 3pm. That was nice.


Then as dorks that we are, we headed off to the library to pick up some books and went to Whole Foods to pick up some dinner. It was super good. Turkey meatloaf, Corn on the cob, Kale Salad and Potatoes.


I would not change this day if I could. We got to spent time as a family. It went to fast. Today was one of those days that really test you as a mother but I would still put that baby up for adoption (Just Kidding). I love that baby so much.

Little Peanut

Dear My Little Peanut,

I love you very much but I am about to put you up for adoption if you wake up again at 1am tonight. I get that your mouth is hurting, yes, baby that is very sad news to hear. But you are keeping your parents awake with you. They like their sleep and can be better a mommy and daddy if they get to have some of that precious little sleep. Oh, yes, those little things called naps, we would like you take those as well. Only because we get to have more time to sleep or catch up on the sleep that we missed by you waking up at 1 am. Mainly this would be for mommy need for you to take a nap but I hear a rumor today that you did not nap for your grandma as well. You function so much better when you get a full night of sleep and you take some naps. We like to be around you and you are just better to be around. So I hope this discussion will be taken to heart. We love you very much but please just have all your teeth come in at once so we do not have to deal with this again. Thank you.

Love,

Your mommy and daddy.

hmmm

What to write about today? Since, she was super cranky last night, she sleep until 7:30am. She would have sleep longer but her father woke her up. She just hung out there for awhile. So I took a shower and got dressed. She still did not want to get up.

After I got home, she was more mellow. I gave her some soilds, today, a combo platter of green peas, mango & pears?. It was from happy baby.

Now I remember what I was going to write about today. I will do that tomorrow.

fun with photobooth

Happy Week Old

She is a week old today. Time is flying by. She is a good little baby. She sleeps all the time. But she does have her good crying session at least once per day. Hopefully, she will be gaining weight so she will be more active when people come over.

She has had many visitors over the last few days. Her uncle charlie, auntie kaysie, Grandpa Bob and Janie. It was really cute with Charles, she slept the entire time. I felt bad but she is super cute when she sleeps. Auntie Kaysie helped us get some stuff done by giving her bottle to her. We were finally able to hang up some pictures. Grandpa Bob and Janie couldn't let her go. That was really cute as well. They were totally in love with her. Who's to blame them. Plus they are the only family that lives far away from her well at least in Illinois.

But anyway, I am done with my activity that is keeping me up right now. So I am going to bed and hopefully will be getting a better night of sleep. I leave you with more dy.

Grrr....

i will find myself not sleeping for one of three reasons. The first reason would be not being able to breathe. My nose would be so stuff that I can't breathe at all. The second reason would be having to pee all the time. I try to cut back on water from 8 or so. It sucks because I get really thirsty but I don't want to be running to the restroom all night long. The last reason would be NO REASON AT ALL. I would just be awake. I will sleep for a couple of hours then just wake up. Of course last night, when I finally got to sleep again, the cat woke up. She was getting into trouble as usual. So she got a time out. But now she is peacefully sleeping in the closet right now.

so I have my next progress report today. I will be posting the latest.
