Last night went pretty well. Mommy still stayed up staring at the baby monitor to see how it was going to go. Mommy thinks that starting tonight she will actually be able to go to bed with Daddy!!!! Mommy did just what the Dr told her to do. Mommy gave me my bottle, then gave me about 10 minutes before my diaper change (she said to make sure I was empty and so she wouldn't have to do an extra diaper change.) She changed my diaper and put me in my bouncy seat for a bit, then I started to get fussy. Mommy then did what the Dr said and used the 5 S's, Swaddle, Side hold, Swing or sway, Swoosh and Suck. Sounds silly but what she did was wrap me up like a burrito (which I always have loved) then she held me like a football on her side, then she would kind of sway with me while making this odd swooshing noise (Daddy said it probably sounded like her blood probably did to me when it went through her veins when I was in her belly) and then she gave me my binky to suck on. I wasn't asleep when she laid me in my crib but I was not so fussy. Mommy then went out and stared at the baby monitor all night LOL. Silly Mama, as long as she takes the monitor to bed I would wake her up if I really needed her. Mommy said she could still hear me stirring around and fussing in my sleep a little bit but I didn't sit and cry the way I have all week. Our next step (so Mommy THINKS) is to try to start me on a schedule. She said we will probably wait a week while this new routine takes hold so I don't get overwhelmed but then starting after we see my Dr next week they will set a breakfast time and keep me up for an hour playing or doing something fun before I get a nap, then there will be a lunch time with another play time for an hour or so and then there will be a dinner time and about 2 hours after dinner for me to stay up, she said about a half hour before my bed time I will get a bath.... I hate this plan already!!!! Mommy told Daddy that we also need to get some baby books and even though I won't understand that we should start reading a story at bedtime. I never care what Mama or Daddy actually say as long as they talk to me.
Last night Mommy was burping me during one of my meals and had me up against her sholder but really close to her face. (Mommy usually leans her head against mine so she can kiss my head and I can feel her against me. While she was burping me I turned and looked at her and reached over and grabbed her lips. Mommy just LOVED that, then she took my little fingers and sucked on them and made this funny Nom Nom Nom noise LOL. Mommy said I got this really silly shocked look on my face LOL. Mommy has a "thing" about my fingers and toes... she loves to hold them and stare at them.... Come on Mom, they are just fingers and toes!!!!
Mommy and Daddy took me to and SCA officer's meeting tonight. Mommy was looking forward to "showing me off" but I showed her. I went to sleep in the car on the way and slept through the WHOLE meeting. Everyone wanted to hold me and see me with my eyes open but I just wasn't gonna help out there.
Mommy says we have to go to a WIC appointment early in the morning and is currently begging Daddy to take the night duty. Mommy hopes that regardless of who has night duty that the new policy of letting me fuss will let them both get some sleep tonight.
Mommy said it is time for my bottle and bed, she has to get up early so she is going to try to get me to sleep soon. Nighty night!!!!
