Well Rested

I cannot believe it. I actually got a great nights sleep last night. I went to bed shortly after 10pm and I had just fed Avery. I put her in her bassinet and she didn't make a peep. I was able to roll over and go to bed. Now the other two kids hated being in their own beds. They'd make noise, cry, etc. I eventually gave up and had them sleeping in the bed with me. I know that is not safe and I don't need any angry emails from people giving me a lecture on how dangerous it is.

She woke up around 1:30 and I fed her. She went right back to sleep and again didn't make a peep in her bed. This was the way it went again at 5:30. It was so wonderful. I was able to immediately go back to bed after each feeding. She was peacefully sleeping. It was a wonderful night. I actually felt good when I got up this morning. Let's see if we can have this happen two nights in a row.

I forgot how much babies pass gas. She passes gas quite frequently. She doesn't cry when she does it so that is a good thing. She does stretch and make a baby grunt when she does it. I cannot lie when I tell you how bad it smells. It reeks. I think it also gets trapped in her outfit and it lingers. So much for the always sweet smelling babies.

I also forgot how many noises babies make. The grunts and stretching noises. Any time she moves she makes these noises. They're awfully loud too. It's amazing how much noise, pee, poop and gas can come from a little 5lb baby. She seems to enjoy all the racket she makes too. If she can just go easy on my sense of smell.
