Trust me it was not like this before. He would wake up every 2-3 hours without fail and I was so tired. What I think helps is having a routine every night. Also by 10 weeks our pediatrician said it was okay to let him cry it out since he is such a big boy. I didn't let him cry endlessly but I did let him cry for a few minutes at a time before I reentered the room to stroke his hair and his belly and tell him how much I love him. I tried this during his nap time and that night he slept longer and better. Not every night is like that and sometimes he needs a little help soothing with a binkie but I am comfortable with that right now. <br /><br />So the moral of my novel to you :), is that it does get better and she will sleep longer. The first 3 months are the hardest and you don't have much longer to go. You're doing great!Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11354123117915625213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372531146997990912.post-80827810488424868162009-06-13T11:52:25.442-04:002009-06-13T11:52:25.442-04:00Honey, you ain't seen nothin' yet!

Just wait until she's eating solid foods - now those are some nasty poopy diapers!<br />Tip: if you find yourself gagging, start humming - you will stop gagging and actually feel better!<br /><br />Also, take comfort in knowing that you are getting the highest possible temperature with the rectal therm. A degree or 2 can make all the difference with a sick baby - think about how you are doing the very best thing for her care - it is never wrong (the butt doesn't lie, so to speak!)

I gagged for the first time (I guess I've been a trooper for the past three months) the other day while changing a monster poop. They have just gotten worse and worse. I miss the "cute" poops from the earlier days. I woke up the other night to him wailing in his crib. Of course, what did I find when I looked in his crib? Poop everywhere...him, sheets, bumper, even down to the mattress pad. OMG, I could've died. Changing crib sheets at 4 a.m. is so not fun.Teresa Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708879417683903608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372531146997990912.post-17563349524389672372009-06-10T09:25:48.123-04:002009-06-10T09:25:48.123-04:00I hear you about the gross things....I just try to...I hear you about the gross things....I just try to tell myself none of it will be as bad as when I worked at a gas station, had to clean the men's room, and there was crap smeared all over the floors, walls, and fixtures...who does that?! <br /><br />Also...I am glad not to have a dog to try to lick up baby vomit, for sure!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12007331970154369538noreply@blogger.com
