  I've had several AWs lately: Yesterday, DS passed his hearing test with the audiologist after failing the previous 3 at the hospital. For the past 2 nights, he's slept 5 or 6 hr stretches...it's been glorious! I hope it lasts...he is really such a great baby. He's so easy going and happy. I just can't get over how much I love him!

  1. I accidentally got baby girl to sleep "drowsy but awake" today. I just put her down for a few minutes to put on some makeup/get dressed and she surprised me. A fluke, but still.
  2. Figured out side-lying nursing (small boobs so I didn't think we could do it) and it has been amazing to stay in bed a bit longer in the morning!
  3. LO was born with a sacral dimple so we had to get an ultrasound to check her spine. They were slow getting back to me so I was worried, but we got the news today that everything is normal.

   Maybe it's something with the name Ben @adventureisoutthere ! My Ben slept 10 hours last night! It was a little slice of heaven. I've been AW this to everyone that will listen but really only my mom cared lol.  Apparently I wasn't ready for such a thing to happen - my husband said that he woke up around 3 am and I was shhhh-ing in my sleep for five minutes!  I guess my body missed soothing LO!

  Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
  All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!

  Preston started to hold his own bottle. Only the Madela brand and only when a blanket helps hold the weight... But I'm still excited. He looks so cute holding it with his chubby little fingers!

  This is more my accomplishment than LO's: today, I have showered, straightened up the living room, vacuumed the whole house, done a load of laundry AND a load of dishes, swept the front porch, and pumped a bottle. I am also planning to actually cook something for dinner...but we'll see what happens when Henry wakes up.

  Sleep trigger warning!

  
  

  
  

  LO has been STTN for over a week now.=D I am still celebrating every morning because I am afraid it will stop. He has also been taking better naps during the day most days. I don't know if it was getting through the 6 week growth spurt or going to the chiro that fixed him, but my life is so much better. I finally have a happy and sleepy baby!

  DS is starting to cue and laugh. He rolled over the other day. And his smiles just make me melt.

  We have had 3 days of minimal crying from LO which is huge in our house! He isn't sleeping great during the day but at least he isn't screaming anymore and he is sleeping ok at night so I will take it. I actually was able to play with DS1, do 5 loads of laundry, wash the dishes, do some homework, and pick up the house a little for company coming tomorrow. I haven't felt so acomplished in weeks!
