Whoa, don't check in all weekend and three new pages!!!!!!! :shock:
Julieb- Thanks for the compliment on the website. We do alot outside. DH HATES to be inside. He's your outdoor hunting, fishing, camping man. It is difficult to be outside though when you're still in triple digits. We were at 32 degrees F this morning. Brrrr.... Fall is here! Thanks for the website. I also got some good deals for Leah. She is in need of Fall and Winter clothing. Everything she got when she was born is now too small!
Hazel - How is the earlier bedtime working out? Weird!!!! Leah has been doing the same thing, waking and babbling in the middle of the night. She’s never been a good sleeper though, so I’m used to getting up! Does Daniel have a bottle at 1 pm, then again not until 6:30? If so, does this go well? I am going to try this with Leah as she is still getting a bottle around 4 too, but then is too full to eat supper. :?
Nikki- When Leah came out she looked like her father, now she looks like me though. If it's any consolation, even though she doesn't look like you she is VERY beautiful!!! At least she won't have to worry about "keeping up" her blonde hair with highlights. Her hair color is awesome!
Julie - YES you can complain! I think everyone should be able to hold thier babies RIGHT away and it sucks if you can't. It wasn't so bad with this one, becuase she was my first and I didn't know any different. If it happened again you can bet I would FIGHT to have her transfered with me! :twisted:
Deborah - Sorry to hear about your issues with the doctors. Please let us know what happens this week. I understand your concern. If it bothers you, I would do something about it.
Schae – Are the night wakings getting any better? With us, just when we seem to get it, she teethes or gets sick. I can’t remember the last time I had a full nights sleep. So, I can’t be of any help, sorry!!!!!!
Heather – Leah is better, thanks for asking. She still has a runny nose – but isn’t waking as much in the night!
US: Well, I have created a problem that I now have to fix. :roll: I used to give Leah her bottles after her naps and before her bath, to eliminate feeding to sleep. Well, she was always such a horrible bottle drinker and I found that if I gave them to her sleepy she would drink much better. Well, she never really falls asleep drinking the bottle but she does get very sleepy. The problem is now she will wake at 1 and 5 in the night and the ONLY thing she wants and the ONLY thing that will get her to go back to sleep is her bottle. So, I created the problem and now I have to fix it! My plan is to reread some of Tracy’s second book this coming weekend and figure out what to do. This is her current schedule:
6:45- Wake up
7:00 – Solids
9:00 – Bottle and First Nap
11:30 – Solids
1:00 – Bottle and Second Nap
4:00 – Bottle and Catnap (unless second nap was long, then no catnap)
6:00 – Solids
7:00 – Bottle and Bed (sleeping by 7:05 or so)
(Lately 1 and 5 bottle – only a few ounces though, so TOTALLY a habit :oops: )
So I need to move bottles around a bit. Well, better run. More later.
