An OCD'ers Dream




Babies like routine. I like routine. Therefore, we get along beautifully.

The following nighttime routine helped Kallie flip her days and nights, she's sleeping for 3-4 hours at a time, and life is good.

Sit outside at dusk.
Snuggle.
Put on pajamas.
Snuggle.
Play our nighttime CD courtesy of my sweet St. John's friends.
Snuggle.
Nurse.
Snuggle.
Read a book.
Snuggle.
Blessing (Thanks, EKS) & prayers of thanksgiving.
Night, night.

You never thought that 4-5 hours would be considered a great night's sleep!
I caught myself the other day saying that Blake lets me sleep in until sometimes 7 am. I umm, really don't normally consider that sleeping in, but hey, with a baby, anything after 5am is sleeping in!

I am so glad I heard a smile in your typing. Being a first-time brand new mommy brings lotsa tears and sometimes we wonder where those smiles are...but I TOTALLY heard yours...you're an awesome mommy.

I have been following your journey since sometime before the 100 day countdown and I cannot believe she is here. She is gorgeous and your life (and blogs) have changed soooo drastically. Isn't it a miracle???
