Today is Day #2 that I've been really trying to pay attention to Samuel's cues about tired, wet nappy, hungry, etc. And so far it's been working. He went down last night after his last feeding without any problems. I went back in his room around 11:15 PM, checked his nappy, and put him in a Swaddler. (much easier when he's almost or already asleep) Didn't wake up as usual.
This morning he was up at 6 AM, and back in bed asleep by 7 AM. Usually 15 mins into his nap he has a wet nappy, and then sleeps around 30-45 mins. This is the Short Nap. He was up at 8:40 AM, ate, and was back down by 9:15 AM. This is my favorite time. This is the Long Nap. At this time I get to climb back in bed for about an hour and a half. Yeah!!! He woke up about 11 AM, ate, and was back down by 12:40 PM.
There's going to be a visiting nurse, Susan, coming by about 2 PM today. I'm really excited to ask her lots of good questions. And it's free! (Thank you tax payers!!) ;)
**** Update: It was a really great afternoon, and Jacob got home before Susan left so he was able to ask her some questions as well. The most exciting thing we learned....SAMUEL WEIGHS OVER 10 POUNDS!!!! It was great to know he's right on track!
We had a pretty quiet evening. Jacob and I wanted the American Idol tryouts. Always good for a laugh. No pictures today, but I'll have some of our new car tomorrow!!! Cross your fingers! :)
Hey, Mama- I'm so thankful things are starting to settle down with your not-so-little guy. :) Rest is such a good thing!
