Doing Great!

Well, we got through our little rough patch of sleepless nights and illness and everything is going great! M is beautiful and quite the little angel! She is sleeping about 4 hours at a time at night, which works great! Saturday night she went 5 hours without a feeding. Except for during the night, we have finally established a schedule, for the most part, that seems to work much better! By the way, the BEST product I have had so far with her is the Infantino Sling that I purchased at Target the day before we got her. Not only is it cute (black and cream toile), but she falls asleep in it every time and feels so much more secure. It keeps her from feeling so overwhelmed with people, etc. and she is able to stay close to me. Last night M especially enjoyed it while I vacuumed. Apparently she likes a clean house, because she screamed and screamed until I finally decided to try the old vacuum trick...worked like a charm! Anyway, things are going great and we're happy to have her for a while!! Thanks everyone for the kind comments, phone calls, emails, cards, donations of clothing/toys/gear etc., gifts and food! We truly appreciate our wonderful friends and family!!

I read your vaccuum comment and it reminded me of my best friends little boy. He used to cry a lot too, but would stop when she vaccuumed. They ended up buying a CD with vaccuum noise on it and would play it in his room at night sometimes. I always thought that was so funny.. but it works apparently. And the CD is handy when you really don't want to actually vaccuum.

I am glad things are getting better for you.

I'll have to store away that vacuum tip for future use. We are all waiting anxiously for our first little one to arrive!

Hmmm... I'm thinking a screaming baby may be the ONLY thing that motivates me to vaccuum.
