At 11 weeks tomorrow, it seems my baby is growing up! She has found her hands and will suck on her fist when she loses her pacifier (smart girl!). Oh yes, I may be breastfeeding but I love the pacifier. I gave it to her as soon as we got home from the hospital. Heck, I asked for a pacifier in the hospital 2 hours after birth. She was dying to suck and I wasn't doing her much good. Crazy hospital quit giving them out on April 1! thanks for letting us all know. They say it's to promote more breastfeeding - I'm guessing "Budget Cuts". Of course, after seeing all the bills coming in from the birth, I don't see how they have budget issues.
I digress, for the last 2 days, Harper has been awesome. As soon as she decreases activity and acts a little tired, I have taken her to her crib - wide awake - and laid her down. She seems so happy to be there and just closes her eyes and goes to sleep. And have I mentioned that I am breaking the "Back to Sleep" law and letting her sleep on her tummy? Well, I am. I slept that way and so did the boys. Though I now sleep on my back, I don't see how a baby can enjoy that and she hasn't.
I think it's amazing that 2 weeks ago, she hardly slept anywhere but right next to me or in the sling. Now, she's sleeping in her crib so well. This is bittersweet. Of course, I know it could all change tomorrow :).
