Sweet Dreams

Miss O is now 14 weeks old. It is weird to say that (or write it). On one hand it feels like she has been here forever and on the other hand is has been 14 short and sweet weeks. In pregnancy terms, it isn't even half way of pregnancy (which would be 20 weeks). I was pregnant for 39 weeks with Miss O. We are coming up on a year that we discovered I was pregnant and our lives were changing forever. How sweet that memory is... the moment I discovered I was pregnant and trying to keep the secret from the Mr. I wanted to wait until Fathers Day but that was a whole week away and I was getting sick every morning. Sleeping during pregnancy was AWFUL! When we came home with Miss O it wasn't any better. I was more comfortable sleeping but we were up every 2 hours for feedings. I am amazed to say that she is practically sleeping through the night. She doesn't eat at all during the night. We just pop the paci in her mouth if she starts fussing and she falls right back to sleep. We have a schedule we follow every night. We rotate nights for bath time. She gets a bath, gets in her pajamas, snuggles up in a blanket and we read her a story.  The Mr. likes to make up stories to tell her. One story he made up was about Princess O and all the men of the kingdom (all the men in our families) having to rescue her. Of course he made himself out to be the hero- saving his beautiful princess! I just read her books we get from the library or books we have in our collection at home. We say our prayers and then it's bed time. The best part of bed time is checking on her and finding her in random positions.I love watching her when she is sleeping and wondering what she is dreaming about.  She sighs deep, talks and sometimes cries in her sleep. 


napping in daddy's arms after a bottle.

This was nap time after day care- worn out and napping within 5 minutes of being home.

This is the most common way we find her.  She starts in the middle, placed horizontally and
ends up vertically (the way she is in the picture). The top of her head is always touching the bumper somewhere. 
She pushes until she can't push anymore!

She is obviously comfortable in her crib.
She started in the middle and ended up on the edge by her bumper.
