it's official, baby b takes after daddy and is a big bed hog. every night, she falls asleep and can spend a few hours in her bassinet, but without fail, she wakes herself up around 2A, feeds and will not go back in the bassinet (or fall asleep) without a few hours of protesting. unfortunately this didn't work out so great for mama.
pre-mommyhood, i swore she would NEVER co-sleep with us. however, after a few nights, we figured out that the way to a few more hours of sleeping bliss was for her to be swaddled/warm and either on our chest or nestled right next to me. she didn't like to be all alone and cold in her crib or bassinet!! so every night in the past few weeks she's found her way into our bed. she then finds her way cuddled right next to me. it's precious, we get a few more hours of sleep but at the same time a little nerve-racking as a first-time, overbearing/overprotective mama! :) nonetheless, the other night she finally made the jump from waking up every 2 hours to every 4-5 hours. and the next morning, after waking up to her sweet cuddles, i went to go get ready and came back to find her like this. not only is she a bed hog, but she's a sleepyhead as well. again, just like daddy ;)
