Day 29 - Goodnight!

She is totally over sleeping in her Nap Nanny. This means we've had some sleepless nights. While she has a lovely crib - she prefers the full sized bed with the egg crate on it. And since the bed is a little big, I worry about her sleeping alone so I've been sleeping with her. I know, I know - that's a HUGE no, no! 

But I don't really care.

If she's in the bed with me, she sleeps for 8 hours. Do you know how long it's been since 8 hours of sleep was an option for us? A WHILE! So I don't fret too much about sharing her bed. 

Now I also don't sleep the 8 hours. I spend a lot of time worried I'm going to roll over her or that she'll suffocate on the sheet she keeps pulling over her face. 

The child has zero survival skills. We will bundle her up to try to keep her warm and all she does is kick out of her blankets and pull her mittens off. And when she's cold - she cries. This is another reason I put her in the bed - it keeps her warm. 

And I have a small confession. I kind of like sleeping with her. Her tiny sighs settle me and when she holds on to my shirt, I feel extra needed. 

However, she kicks in her sleep like her Aunt Tami. Yeesh. ;)

Until next time....

So, I'm a major advocate for sleeping with your baby when little. I think it is one of the best things. Soak her in because too soon she'll be too big to enjoy sleeping with. :)
