Lost. It seems like these last few weeks flew by and my motivation to blog or write about baby related things or life in general was not there despite some really awesome things happening like the purchase of our new treadmill and Leah's smiles. Oh well. I will have to upload and comment on those later.
Things around my house have been hectic, but when are they not? Leah is still resisiting sleeping at night. I have purchased a book that directs me to be very strict with her and myself in setting up a routine before bed. I try. I bathe her, change her, swaddle her, feed her and then put her to sleep "drowsy, but awake". This routine takes me 2 hours to finish! Then Leah will fall asleep for about an hour and wake up again ready to eat and repeat said process. Sometime after 1am I give up and strap her little butt in the swing and crash on the couch. I feel my teeth clenching just thinking about the frustration. I can't even say that it's because she is still so young (she is 9 weeks already) or that she is sleeping during the day too much because she only slept about 4 hours yesterday. So...I'm lost.

I think sleep training is the hardest thing ever! I was having a really hard time with my Lil Guy with naps. I ended up finding the book, "The Baby Whisperer Solves All Your Problems" which was really helpful but the most helpful thing is an online forum where you can post a problem and an online moderator weighs in with things to try to help you. Sooo good. Check it out. http://www.babywhispererforums.com/
