By the title I mean there isn't anything special to post about today. Chris left for work at 7:00 this morning and didn't get home til about 8:45 pm. I hate when he works loooong days like that because Emma is in bed when he leaves and she's in bed by the time he gets home. It was a yucky, and rainy day today so we hung out at the house and pretty much did nothing. I like those kinds of days because our weekends and some week days are sooo busy and it's nice to be able to stay in your pj's until 7:00 at night....I may or may not have done that today, ha!
When Emma was about 8 weeks old she started sleeping really really good at night. She would sleep for 8-9 hours, wake up to eat, and then go back to sleep for another 2-3 hours. Awesome, right??? Yeah we were very very lucky. We didn't move her to her room in her big girl crib until she was 6 months old and the reason being it wasn't ready. We had to paint it and put it the way we wanted it and with Chris working so many hours it was a very slow process. So ever since we moved her in to her room, she hasn't been sleeping good AT ALL! She sleeps for about 3-4 hours, gets up to eat, goes back to sleep for about another 3-4 hours, and at that point I just put her in the bed with us and she will sleep another 3 hours. I don't know what the heck is up with that but mama and daddy sure don't like going backwards. And Chris is sooooo good about getting up with me EVERY TIME that she wakes up. He just sits on the couch until I rock her and put her back to bed....and I always tell him to go back to bed and his response is " You may need me for something."...awesome husband! Well.......last night I don't know what we did differently but my beautiful baby slept soooooo good. We were kind of worried at one point though. She went to bed at 8:30 pm (like she does every night after her bath) and didn't get up til 6:40...holy moly! I was soooo freakin excited, haha. She took a bottle and went back to sleep in my bed until 9:00! I couldn't believe it. I was a very happy mama today!
Our plans for the rest of this week and the weekend (fingers crossed) are very calm so far. We don't have a whole lot to do except having lunch with some friends on Saturday, so far. My mom and 2 of my sisters are coming up Thursday. We try to switch off weeks of them coming up here to visit one week and then Emma and I going to Benton the next week. We've been doing it for several months now. Emma loves her Gammy and all of her aunts. My nephew, Jackson, is going to come also...I hope. I wish Bailee and Cambree (Brandy's girls) could come, too. I don't get to see any of my nieces and nephew as much as I would like to. I wish I lived closer to home so I could spend more time with my family but that wouldn't be fair to Chris to have to travel so far.
Anyways...I'm going to go to bed and hope to the good Lord above the monkey sleeps as well as she did last night!
Goodnight
