May 23, 2009It's been a long long weekend.
After Lil Miss' not sleepy at all Friday, I was expecting Saturday to be a day of naps. Haha, I was wrong -- she was a very SLEEPY baby on Saturday, but not a TIRED baby. Let's just say I had a grumpy butt ALL day on Saturday, who wanted to do nothing but fuss and nothing seemed to make her happy cause she was so sleepy but she refused to go to sleep.
Long day, cause Daddy was working (it's Memorial Day weekend -- long hours too) so Mommy had a fussy and screaming baby. Mommy was tired when she finally went to sleep.

May 24, 2009Yesterday wasn't a whole lot better. She was actually tired, and wanted to sleep most of the day, but she refused to be put down. So Mommy got to carry around a sleeping baby -- meaning an over eleven pound dead weight -- all day long. Let me tell you how much my arms hurt when I finally got her out for the night and she let me put her down without screaming -- at ten thirty pm.
She was then awake again on this morning and was awake until almost five and then awake again at seven. Mommy is a sleepy sleepy girl.
I don't know what's going on with her. Is she maybe growing again? She is two months old today.

This is how my munchikin sleeps. It canNOT be good for her!So yeah -- that is how my little one sleeps -- with her face directly against the side of her bassinet. No matter how many times I move her or straighten her back out, it's right back to this. I know she can breathe but it still worries me and I don't know how to stop it. Even when I use the little things that are supposed to keep her in place, she moves them til she's like this.
I don't know why she wants to sleep like that, but she is damn determined. And with me and Jimmy as parents? She's stubborn as a mule. She's going to sleep how she wants to sleep!

Trying to eat her hand. I'm not sure why. She wasn't hungry -- I tried to feed her, she spit it out and put her hand right back in.Why does she do this? Anyone have any ideas? She tries to eat her hand on a daily basis. Not just her fingers (which she does too) but her whole fist. She can't fit it all in her mouth, but she tries damn hard. Again -- our daughter is a determined little baby. It is kinda funny to watch.
My sleepy sleepy attachmenty baby.So yeah. I don't know how today is going to be. She's awake right now (she's playing in her bouncer) but I dunno if it's going to be a fussy day, a napping day or a normal day. I guess we'll see. I'll let y'all know tonight. Right now? I'm gonna go play with my munchkin -- and try not to think about how tired I am.
Her little monkey toys. They're so long! She can grip a finger with her toes almost as as with her hands!
Yes, babies like to suck on their hands. Wait till she discovers her feet and is able to get them in her mouth!
ReplyDeleteYou can sit/lie next to her bouncy chair and cat nap. That's what I had to do with you when you decided to get up at night to play.
I hope she sleeps better soon.
Love,
Mom
She's usually been such a good little sleeper! Which is why I wondered if she's going through a growth spurt. Oh well, I'll see soon. If she's longer at her appt. this Wednesday than she was last week, I'll know a probable cause!
ReplyDeleteNow imagine 4 months old and over 13 pounds! I know you might get sad, and it will really suck, but sometimes you just have to lay them down and let them scream. When they first come home you have to establish you are there for them, but she needs to also know when it is time to sleep it is time to sleep. It will be hard at first, but soon it will be better. Do you have a swing? When nothing else works for Makayla, you put her in that swing and out like a light she goes. Car rides are also great for that. Love 'ya punkin - : ) M
