Tuesday:
Let's talk about nap time. Today was the hardest time I have ever had with Annabelle. My beautifully peaceful napper is now non-existent. I tried everything. Rocking, laying down with her, teething tablets, glow worm, singing, swaying, BOTH binkies, swaddle with arms in, arms out, on tummy, etc. She always would wake up seconds after I laid her down. I was trying to do my workout video during nap time today and had to obviously keep stopping over and over and over to go try something new. Each time I would pick her up, her eyes would roll back under her eye lids and she'd be as squishy as a cooked noodle. She'd even be so asleep that she'd stop sucking on her binky. But, never the less, I'd lay her down, walk out, turn the video back on, do a few moves, then she'd cry. 'Maybe she'll just figure it out'...so I left her for a few minutes. Nope, she'd just get louder. So finally, I resorted to the infant swing that had been lurking off to the side of her bedroom. I put her in it, swaddled and binkied, and then she was out. Now this was well over a half hour, maybe forty-five minutes of going back and forth, and when I knew she was finally down, I sat on the couch and had a snack instead. I'll workout another day.
