She really is the Cutest!!!
I really need to write an actual post. Something about my life or something clever or just something!!! I am finding it hard to have the time to do much of anything these days, besides taking care of Crazers. That is just one of the many nicknames we have for Maisie. Nugget and Nuggy are the other two nicknames that are most used. So because I don’t have time to write, I will just show off how stinkin’ cute she is. She really is!!! We are having SO much fun with her and we can’t wait for you (family and friends) to meet her!!! I never wanted to give Maisie a pacifier (for lots of reasons), but as you can see, I have succumbed to the pressure…or maybe just the pleasantness her sleeping quicker in the evenings and not crying so much. The pacifier has saved us on many occasions…
Read MoreRemember the days?
Remember the days when I used to post about weird things like mullets? I scrolled down the main page of my blog to find that EVERY post had to do with our new baby. Now this one does too. I can’t escape it. I am obsessed and overtaken by this new part of my life. I love it though. I love everything to do with her. I used to research on the internet the best workouts or some other weird thing, but now I research breastfeeding, sleep schedules for babies, why she cries the way she does, anything baby and I am reading it! It is out of control! It is so consuming! I do have to say that I miss writing about dodging dog poop in the streets of Paris or writing about my new bad haircut. But since I am so obsessed with this new little person, I…
Read MoreBaby Wise?
Hey Everyone! My last post was about Maisie’s schedule and I got some great feedback! I have actually talked to lots of people and about 99 percent of people have recommended the Baby Wise approach. I have read the book (twice) and started feeling guilty for not doing things the way they had said. So, I decided to do a bit of research on Baby Wise, as well as other methods and was pretty surprised in what I found. Here is a link to a super interesting article on Baby Wise. On a side note, everyone who has recommended this book has also said not to follow it exactly as it is pretty strict. Anyways, I just thought I would share this article with you all! Pretty interesting stuff! In the meantime, I think we are learning what is right for us and Maisie. Thank you to everyone who commented…
Read MoreHelp us!!!!
Sleep…a thing of the past. I LOVE my sleep! One of the most frustrating things about being pregnant was using the bathroom ten million times a night! Now that the baby is here, my bathroom trips have lessoned, but I am up even more! I am SUPER thankful for Maisie and we still love each other. Don’t worry! I just miss uninterrupted sleep. Justin and I would like some advice though. Here is Maisie’s sleep schedule at night: -She eats between 9 and 10pm -Sleeps till 11pm or 12am -Awake till around 1 or 2am! WIDE AWAKE! And she is a bit fussy during these times. Will NOT sleep. -Finally falls asleep around 1 or 2am and doesn’t wake up till around 6am for a feeding and goes right back to bed till 9am. So the question. Justin and I are night owls and we don’t mind that she is…
