Sleep...it is oh so precious!

We are about through week 3 with Zack & it is amazing how quickly time has gone! Even more amazing is how many of those hours I have logged in the awake column as opposed to the sleep column! Even though it seems I am always awake, he is all in all a good sleeper...once he gets there.


We have tried all sorts of funny ways to try to prompt him into a deep sleep...some with success, others not so much. Initially, he loved the sound of the oven fan, so at 2 am I am standing in the kitchen with the fan on. Next, he likes his car seat...whether you are walking or driving, that one almost always does the trick. The other day, I discovered the power of the swing...he slept for oever 2 hours in that thing & he continues to like that one. Today, he liked the sound of the vacuum and sometimes he just has to flat out cry himself to sleep! That one is always a bit sad, but sometimes there just isn't anything else to do.


So for all of you out there getting more than 2 hours of continuous sleep on a regular basis...be grateful, be very grateful! I hope to be joining those ranks sooner as opposed to later!

Let me just tell you, it's all about routines, routines, routines... at least in my experience!

Good luck! At least you're already so beautiful as is, that you don't technically need the beauty sleep!
