This post is written daily so it's just random happenings in order. Slowly getting the house ready, finding things here and there we need to fix
Having carpet sure makes it feel more homey which I didn't feel with the hard wood floors
I defiantly need to be better with patience in all situations.
It's harder to be patient when you have lack of sleep because your baby can't sleep longer then two hours at a time at night. And seems to only sleep best when they are in bed with you (don't give me a speech on how babies shouldn't sleep in bed with you. It's my child and our decision)
I miss the days where he would wake up after 4 or so hours, I feed him and he fell back asleep for another 4 hours. I will take that back any day. I need rest.
I try to take naps with him but there are things I HAVE to get done while he sleeps and then I go to lay down and he wakes up.
He is taking better naps at least an hour now sometimes more.
Once we get into our house hopefully we can get on a better daily routine again and maybe then he will sleep better
I feel so scattered having things here and there but very soon all should finally be at our house
Isaac seems to laugh the most at night time. He laughs when we bounce him on the bed or when objects hit him in the face (soft ones don't worry)
He falls asleep almost instantly when I hold him in a certain position when he is ready for a nap or bed. I just have the mom touch. Other people can get him to sleep too but mine is almost instantly.
He is so peaceful when he sleeps
He loves being naked so each day we let him be for a few minutes.
When he is in his belly reaching for a toy he flips over onto his back lol not on purpose but I love it.
My wrists still hurt which haven't made moving very easy but pulled muscles take a long time to heal
The beginning of fall!! My favorite :)
We are getting everything moved in. Just a few things were left behind for now.
Now the fun if unpacking. I'm really excited but also nervous because this is the first time I will be living without my mom with Isaac. I know that's weird cuz most people are alone from the start and I know she is just a street away but I'm still nervous about leaving. So I will probably come visit a lot
Our ac and heater don't work sooooo it's 60 degrees in our house and I'm freezing!!!
We are missing a box of our things we have looked everywhere we can think of. I just don't know where it could be. It has some of our plates, cups, bowls and our microwave turn table (that's what we know we are missing)
And I go and lose the keys to our shed.... Nothing is in it yet but ah I don't usually lose things but lately I feel I'm losing my mind lol
Things are getting organized :) it's looking more like our home it's crazy that we own a home!
It's a little scary being in a new place with all the new noises but I'm slowly getting used to it all
Tried Isaac in the bed. I lasted until 4am. He woke up every thirty minutes then every hour then every two hours once we put him in bed with us. Exhausted!! I just don't know why he isn't sleeping through the night. He is earn (not hot), changed, fed, burped, and has medicine. Maybe he needs a higher dose of medicine. I don't know
We did our last costco trip.... Sad to be done but if we ever need anything I know I can ask my mom or sister
And next time we are going to try winco!
Well I guess Isaac and I are driving with the in laws down to California Monday and then flying back Friday. In excited but nervous because it's the first time without spencer for traveling and sleeping. I really hope Isaac is good for me so that it will feel like a vacation.
We don't have internet until Friday so it's just a written post for now
I'm stephanie's sis in law... I am with you with co sleeping! I am on my 3 kid and all my kids have slept in my bed until they were 16 mo. I tried with my first to put him in his own bed from the start. I found we both get more sleep if he sleeps with me. My first two kids were screamersand sleep was hard to come by at the first and I said when pregnant with the 3, in tears, I can't handle another screamer, and my 3rd is a perfect angel. Good luck with the move. I hate moving.
ReplyDeleteI never napped, you get used to it haha. It's like Jade knew that I wanted to sleep because as soon as I'd lay down she'd wake right up. And you really have to experiment with sleeping at night. For some people it works best to co sleep and for other's it works best to get them in their crib. We can't co-sleep unless Rick wants to sleep on the floor forever, and I don't sleep well at all if she's in bed with me because I'm too paranoid. I also believe the sooner you get them into their own room, the better. I know too many people who waited until they were 6 months or older to get them in the crib and then wonder why it doesn't magically happen. They get used to sleeping with you so it won't be easy for them to sleep on their own. It takes time figuring out what works best, and it takes time to get them in their own crib. But again, I say the sooner the better! It didn't take Jade too long to warm up to having her own space :)
