I realized I was going on almost a full week without updates, which while quite understandable with a 3-month-old is a longer absence than I’d like. My blog is the only thing that made it possible for me to update Sara’s baby book with accurate details of the last three months; it’s basically “off-site storage” for my brain these days!
I’m spent most of my life in San Antonio, Texas — home to the Alamo, the Riverwalk and the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs. I’m not really into sports, other than the Olympics or the Tour de France; even then, I routinely miss match-ups or days that a true fan would never dream of missing. It’s just not a major force in my life. I’m a fair weather fan of the San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Cowboys, only aware of their performance when they get into the Finals or head to the Superbowl. I enjoy the games when I watch them, but just don’t have the gene that makes sports that compelling hour after hour, either in person or televised. That being said – GO SPURS GO!
Well, we haven’t graduated to the crib overnight yet. In fact, we’re still co-sleeping about 50% of each night and the rest of the time Sara sleeps in her bassinet by our bed. I think the smaller confines of the bassinet keep her cozier for now than the more spacious crib. In the crib, she’ll only sleep about 1.5 to 2 hours at a stretch; the bassinet has yielded 3 or 4 hours of sleep. This kiddo still likes to nurse throughout the night so we’re up late (midnight or later) and every 2 hours until at some point she sleeps for 3 or 4 straight hours ’til sun-up.
Last night was the third night of our attempted migration of Sara from our bed to her crib, with the second night having been aborted by 2:30 AM. Last night went much better, though once again the price of getting Sara to sleep in her crib is less sleep for me (but I slept in, so nyah!) hehe
Crib Notes:
Last night, my need for sleep won out over my attempt to get Sara through another full night in her crib in the nursery. I can’t remember when I finally got her to sleep last night, but when she awoke at 2:30 AM this morning needing a feeding that was that. I was nodding off while nursing her sitting up in bed, and quickly opted for what’s gotten us through every night prior — side-lying position breastfeeding, in bed, co-sleeping.
