30 day meme: this month
Nov. 7th, 2010 09:53 pmDay 20 – This month
This month has been amazing, crazy, wonderful, exhausting. D no longer sleeps in 4+2+2 hour blocks (for the non-parents that's 4 hours of sleep, wake for feed, 2 hours of sleep and feed again and 2 more hours of sleep before morning comes!) starting from 7pm. sigh. The list of possibilities is endless. It all started a month ago when she got her 4 month shots. It took her 3 days to get back to normal schedule. That lasted only 4 days before she showed signs of teething, then it was probably a mental leap (actually I forget now what it was then), then it was a cold. sigh. So that has been our month!
But the big thing, she naps during the day -regularly! Of course, it's only half hour blocks and she needs my help of rocking her or nursing her but she sleeps in the crib or any flat area (not a bouncer, car seat or a stroller). So, I get some regular breaks. Maybe she is perfecting the system. In the beginning, her nights were no issued but she would never nap. So, now she is working on her day issues.
ah well...go with the flow. I have begun to read books again - not baby related books! I think I have read enough and I am all sick of reading that the baby should be sleeping through the night by now, if not to talk to pediatrician and that they should learn/know self-soothing mechanisms, and that they should be set down in the crib half-asleep/awake so they learn to sleep. Lucky for these books they belong to the library, if not you would see some books flying out the window. Really, my little one is 6 months old. The books conveniently forget that if you do any of the above D just cries. Oh yes, there are books that say, let them. right. a friend said, don't do any of that. Wait for it until she is 10 months old. She will still cry then but at least she will understand you a little better or she might be used to the schedule created by then. That makes the most sense to me!
I have been meeting friends with whom I don't have to talk baby-related stuff. It has been a challenge but it is happening! yay....
Republicans have taken the majority in the House this past week! No surprise! Lets see them sway their magic wand and save the USofA as they campaigned they will do! Lot of talk we have been hearing from all ends... at the end all ends will be in for a big disappointment I think. ah well.. such is the world of politics. For the record, Glen Beck drives me up the wall & so does Keith Obelrman (however you spell his name)!! I am glad I live in a country with a hundred channels....to surf through and to still find it's all junk...
This meme will be completed by the end of the month...I swear!
