Since I ruled out a medical reason for the poor sleep I’ve discovered that pretty much everyone I know is having problems with their baby’s sleep at right around 4 months. Needless to say my life revolves around her sleep right now. Naps used to be so easy, she’d just pass out on my chest after nursing and sleep for however long she needed to. Easy! Now? Not so much. Getting her to take her naps on her own was a HUGE accomplishment, now I get time to myself during the day which is very needed and appreciated! Time to write, to read, to catch up on a TV show (thank goodness for DVR!). Now it’s just taking some extra effort to get her to sleep… and I tip-toe around afterward and hope she doesn’t wake after 5 or 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
The little miss has recently managed to roll all the way over to her front. Several times. She was trying for days, then Sunday she actually did it. She looked triumphant for a second, then looked around, wiggled, and started crying because she realized she was on her belly and she’s still not a huge fan of it. So she can<\/i> roll both ways now, but she seems to choose not to – or forgets that she can. Not sure yet.<\/p>\n
Oh, that Warm Weather? GONE. And it took its buddy Nice Weather with it. Now I’m left with Cold And Fucking Dreary Weather, which is making me kind of sour. It turned cold all at once, suddenly I’m digging through Kate’s drawers trying to see if I have anything warmer to dress her in for naps. I also have a shortage of long-sleeved onesies, since she’s still in 0-3M stuff! I tried a 6M long-sleeve on her and couldn’t stop laughing; it looked huge and baggy. Not going to work. The problem I’m having is that I do have some cute 3M long-sleeved onesies, but they are not Carters brands. So she’s outgrown them in length already, before ever fitting them width-wise. Every time I tried them the neckline was falling off her shoulders and gaping halfway down her chest. Now finally it fits her chest! And I can’t snap them up. Oh well, I tucked them into her pants.<\/p>\n
Another annoyance: socks. Most socks fall right off her skinny ankles. The ones that work the best are simple white socks from BabyGap. Only problem is that they’re size 0-3M and I have only two pairs. I want to order some 3-6M but the Gap has a $7 flat rate shipping fee. WTF, I am not paying them $7 so I can get 4 pairs of socks!! I’ll have to go into the store to see if there’s any there… just watch, they won’t have that size. (Apparently 6M is a really hard sock size to find… I’ve been looking everywhere we go!)<\/p>\n
My new-old hobby is scrapbooking. I haven’t done anything in so long, now suddenly I’m struck with the need to scrapbook all of Kate’s stuff. Unfortunately I feel like my brain cells went all “duh” on me since Kate stopped sleeping well…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
