BABY WISE OR SLEEP DEPRIVED?

Okay so I think that sleep is the most important thing to feeling good. One of Dave's buddies at work told him that they followed the guidance in this book and their newborn slept through the night (8 hours) at 7 or 8 weeks old. I thought well that's the baby right? Then, Poppy's dance teacher saw me with the book and said that she had followed it with all three of her kids and had the same result a baby sleeping through the night at 8 weeks. Next another mom at a Primary Activity told me virtually the same thing, only she talked about the book like it was the lost manuscript of the Book of Mormon. It was actually comical because she talked about the book almost reverently. So here I go on the Babywise technique. I keep you POSTED on how it goes.

Okay so our computer is doing something funky and some of the elements of the blog are not working. It won't let me upload pictures so I will just post a word one this time.

We are doing fine. The family is enjoying Lily and she is a good baby so far. She is sleeping a lot during the day and still wants to be up during the night. That makes for a very tired mommy and daddy.

Catherine is here to help and visit and the kids won't leave her alone. Today she had to leave by herself to have a little quiet time. I am enjoying her company and her understanding.

Dave goes back to work on Sunday and he is looking forward to it. He wouldn't last long as a stay at home dad/mom.
