Transitioning to the crib

It's about time. I should have done it while I was still home from work, but alas. Lesson learned. The next one will probably be in his/her crib a lot sooner.

So, we started last night and Ryan was still recovering from Sunday, I think, because he went to bed at like 7. And slept only until 12:30. Then, he wanted more food. Then, he sleep until 4am. I got up and fed him just two ounces, hoping that he would just go back to sleep until 6am and then I could get up with him.

Instead, he woke back up at 4:45 and at that point, I was so tired that I just put him in his swing and let him go until whenever. I dragged myself up at 6:30am to get ready for work.

I'm hoping tonight is a bit better. Maybe he will be asleep here by 9 and maybe will sleep until 4. I can hope, right?

I gotta figure out how to get him to sleep through the night. Or what I was doing right before I went back to work. Whatever I was doing then was totally working. If only I could remember.

I read the Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Baby book, and it's got really, really good advice, except for one problem for me: I don't have a baby that has a problem going to sleep right now. I have one that won't stay asleep. DAMNIT! I meant to give him his meds before bed. Shit. Oh well. Whenever he wakes up tonight, I'll give them to him them. dang. Anyway, what?

Oh yeah. I need to read the book again for better advice. Find what I'm looking for. Maybe buy the "No-cry sleep solution" book too. ????????



What else is new and exciting?

Ryan will be three months on Thursday. I can't believe that it's been three months! And if you can't believe that, then you won't believe that I'm ready for number two already...well...not RIGHT this second, but if we are under $3k by March on the credit cards, we'll go ahead and start trying anyway. Really best for the next one to be born in the winter. Preferably in early 2011. That way, insurance is totally worth it for the year. I just want to get this out of the way, for lack of a better term. That way, I can lose all the weight and not worry about whether or not I will be able to lose it all before we try again. I'm just going to try to be back to where I started by the time Ryan is 1. That's only 15 pounds. Small steps. Maybe try for 5 pounds by the end of the year.

Well, I'm going to put Ryan in his crib and pick up a bit around the house before I head up to bed.


Later!
