Remember when I said so far being a mom is easy? Well..it is..sometimes! Sometimes I get frustrated...usually at night. I feel like im constantly spoiling her! When she eats for like 20-30 minutes she usually goes straight to sleep and sleeps for atleast 3 hours! NOT AT NIGHT! She will eat...stay awake for a while in bed and start crying! But..shes not hungry cause an hour hasn't even passed! The only was to keep her content is if I put her over my shoulder and stand! Then she sleeps...or MoMo has to do something that makes her sleep! IDK! I feel like I dont know what to do to make her happy! I dont want to spoil her!! Like just now...she ate for 24 minutes total...fell asleep and i put her in her bed....SHE WOKE UP CRYING! what made her happy? throwing her over my shoulder! but...i decided to put her in her bouncer and she fell right to sleep! I def. need more training on this whole MOMMY thing!!
On another note....
Layla had a Dr. Apt. on Thursday.......and "in one corner is the AMAZING LAYLA JOLEAN THOMAS weighing in at a chunky monkey weight of....6 pounds 2 ounces!!"
still...she only fits in preemie outfits....barely!
GEEZ....I have such a gorgeous baby girl!!

yeah I difinantly wouldn't start the whole putting her on your shoulder and walking thing. We had to do that with Nour and it was horible. Try to find some other alterinive like the bouncer. Lilli likes her swing!
hey girl, i did the same thing and my kids came out just fine. i held them a lot and then there were times when i just left them in their bed and just cry. hell i still do that with hunter he will just stand at his door screaming and crying until he realizes that no one is coming then he goes straight to bed no problem. but every mother is different. but good luck to you and you are doing really good im very proud of you.
love you bunches of oats

She is not chunky she is still so tiny! My kids were bigger then that when they were conceived! HA HA
Im with La Sha on the shoulder and walking thing BAD IDEA! Then again letting her cry is hard I could never do it with Nathan because I felt bad! It has gotten easier with Lilli because sometimes.... being a mother of 2 I don't have a choice! Even then I can only ignore it for so long! Lilli's fall back is the swing! She has one in the living room and one in her bedroom for nights when she will not give up! She also loves her mobile that lights up and plays music. Most of the time that distracts her long enough to stop crying and then she'll fall asleep. I know you do not have one. I will get the one I have to La Sha by Friday I just have to find all the parts!
Trial and error is the only way! but if you do not remove yourself from the equation she will continue to have a hard time putting herself to sleep without you when she gets older! I learned that the hard way with Nathan because I rocked him to sleep every night. I do not regret it but I will admit that he is 4 and has a hard time putting himself to sleep. I did things different with Lilli and 90% of the time when she wakes up all I have to do is give her a binkie and turn on her mobile then she goes back to sleep on her own. In return Im less frustrated because I get more sleep!
