well last night we put lyla in her crib at bedtime. needless to say it was a long night for me.
after johnny got done feeding her, he put her down in her crib and after about 2 hours she started crying. i quickly went to her and put her paci back in her mouth and she went back to sleep. a little bit more time goes and she starts up again but she went right back to sleep. by this time i was listening for her in my sleep the whole time and about every 45 mins i would turn on your video monitor just to make sure she was still breathing. so she finally slept wil about 6am and started crying again. so i brought her into the bedroom and she slept in my spot while i got a shower. and the sneaky little things started smiling when i layed her in our bed- she obviously new what she really wanted!
so i will have to say that the whole crib idea worked out just fine. we will see how the rest of the week goes. i am just real scared about it bc so many things could happen.
oh and how about right before i went to sleep a commercial came on that was talking about taking everything out the crib once putting the baby in there bc of the risk of SIDDS. and i was like wow- now i need her to stay in here for sure. however, i know she will be fine especially since i went and spent a pretty penny on a new video monitor (which was actually johnnys idea- that im glad he insisted)
ok so yeah. thats our first night crib story.
now we are continuing putting rice in her bottle for 2 of her feedings daily. next week i think i might put it in every bottle. and then when we run out of rice i think i will go to oatmeal. i have not decided yet what action i would like to take but i am just trying to make sure her little belly gets used to everything. its real important not to overload her with to much BUT consistancy is REAL important
oki doki. now time for some work
