Sleeping in her crib

We are now trying AGAIN to transition Raquelle to her crib. We tried this a couple weeks ago and she was doing well, but then she got sick and had to sleep upright. So, back to sleeping in the bouncy seat or occasionally the swing. I was hoping I wouldn't start any bad habbits. Her first nap yesterday, she slept in her crib...I put her down and she went right to sleep without any fussing. Her 2nd nap, She fell asleep in my arms, so I went and laid her down...5 min later she was fussing and a min later she was screaming. So, I went and calmed her down and got her back to sleep. 5 min later she was fussing and a min later she was screaming. This continued for an hour before she finally dropped off and stayed asleep. Then, last night...Thad fed her and put her to bed and she went right down without any fussing. Middle of the night, she ate and went right back to bed with no fussing. This morning...she is refusing her crib. I got frustrated enough I gave up for the morning nap. It was noon and she still hadn't had her 10:00 nap and she was fussy because she was tired, but refused to go to sleep in her crib, and rocking her didn't work. By noon, I was just too hungry and had to find some way to occupy her so I could eat. She won this round, but there is always the afternoon nap, which WILL be in her crib!

Woo-hoo, Raquelle! A girl after my girls's hearts! Wearing a sleepsack and sleeping in a swing - hey don't worry. Lily slept in her swing until she was 5 months old and then moved to the crib just fine. lol

Birth Story

Ok, as promised, here is Titus birth story and it's probably going to be pretty long. It actually starts 2 weeks ago with prodominal labor. I had this with Raquelle where I start contracting early, but make no cervical change. We went to the hospital on Sunday night the 8th with contractions 4 min apart. The contractions were making no change, but Titus HB was low and not variable enough so they kept me. After monitoring over night, there had been no progress, but his HB was better. My MW offered to try a cytotec to ripen things up and see if that would get things going for him to be born. I had the first dose at 8 AM and a 2nd dose around noon. They caused my ctx to become very consistent but not incredibly painful. By the end of the day I had made no progress and his HB had been better so we went home. Went to the dr the next day and she offered to induce with pitocin. We said no. Then next Sunday the 15th, I had been cleaning all day and probably over did it (my mom wa...

2 month check up

I don't want to forget to blog about the kids!  When we have a new baby, I love to be able to look back and see how their growth and milestones compare to their siblings! Annabelle is 11 weeks old today.  She had her 2 month check up last week.  We are battling thrush again just like we did with the first 3.  She does NOT nurse well (still),  but I haven't had to go to formula yet.  Every day, feeding her is a struggle and it feels like a long uphill battle. Her 2 month stats - Height - 23.75" Weight - 12 lbs 8 oz She is way ahead on her social milestones.  She already imitates me and will track objects and turn her head to keep following them when they go out of her line of sight. She doesn't tolerate tummy time very well though, so she hasn't built up as much strength as her oldest sibling had by this age.  She is still right on track with what is normal though.  I don't have her paper in front of me now, but she is right about 7...

 I have not posted anything on this blog in about 9 years!  The kids are growing up, and last night, as teenagers, Kezzy came across this blog.  “Mom!!! You have a blog?  Can I read it?”  Since then, she and Titus have been reading everything on here, reminiscing about how cute they were when they were little.  It got me thinking that maybe I should resurrect this old blog!  I have another child now (Theo) who was never even mentioned in any previous posts, and very little is on here about Annabelle and Philemon!  I’ll have to think about what I want to write about, now that the kids are older.  In the mean time, here is a new picture of my now much more grown up children.  This picture is of me and the kids on Mothers Day.
