Becoming Babywise: Day 3

Guess who slept for SEVEN AND A HALF HOURS last night?

I think this Babywise thing might be working after all. We're still having issues with the daytime naps, since the book says she's supposed to sleep every few hours, but did I mention she slept for SEVEN AND A HALF HOURS last night?!?

Wow.

She actually also had an hour and a half nap this morning, from about 8:30-10:00am. I was downstairs eating breakfast (first time eating breakfast since my mom went back to VA! - not counting weekends when Mike is here to save me from morning starvation), and the monitor kept kicking on for no reason. I listened carefully, but just heard the swing (yes, I know) clicking as it rocked. Finally, I went upstairs, and lo and behold, MJ was sitting there, staring at one of the hanging teddy bears, cooing, and dare I say, giggling, her head off. I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I really wanted a shower, and since she seemed content, I took my chances. It was only after I had thrown on some clothes that she started to fuss a little, and she calmed immediately when she started nursing. What a perfect angel!

She stayed up until about 2, then she slept for half an hour, giving me just enough time to eat some lunch, ate, and then fell asleep again at 3:30. So, here we are at 5pm, and she is still napping. Dare I try to steal one for myself?

Mike has a haircut appointment today at 6. I'd better take that nap.

Sweet dreams!
