So much has happened since the last post. But I'm just going to hit the highlights. My baby girl has had a stuffy nose for longer than I think she should. And just this past week she had a cold. I had no idea there was nothing I could do but keep using the aspirator, saline solution, and humidifier. Thank God there was no fever, or nothing else, that came along with the cold. She is better, we just need to get her completely "cleaned out".
She is playing with her lie-and-play toy. It's a joy to see her play, laugh and coo. Yes, I said coo!!! She is "talking" to us now, so we try to have meaningful conversations with her to keep her going.
She's eating more now. I started to notice that she was not happy when she finished her bottle. So I was slowly introducing more to her. But apparently, too slow. She almost had two bottles at one feeding at the daycare, so Ms. T said, I think it's time for bigger bottles. So, yeah, she's not my little baby anymore. She is my big baby.
She is now sleeping on her own. It was surprisingly easy. We are sooo blessed. We put her in her crib with pandora heavenly lullabies playing, and she had no issues. Mommy on the other hand got no sleep. I ran in the room so much it was ridiculous. I have regressed a little, and did her a disservice recently, since she got sick she was having a hard time breathing at night. The flemm would wake her up. So I let her sleep with me. I sleep like a baby when we sleep together because I know I will hear her if she starts to cry. So I probably benefitted more than she did, so... I didn't "let her" sleep with me, it was all for me. Now I need to get back on our normal schedule. Again, she has no issues in the crib, mommy is the issue. So tonight it's time to work on getting her back in the crib by herself. And I'm going to try and get some sleep too (prayers up and fingers crossed).
