So I've finally stopped obsessing so much about how the baby doesn't nap well - Also, I got annoyed with the 5 different sleep books that I read that all contradicted each other. I still worry that her napping so much in the swing will be hard to wean but the bliss of getting a 2-3 hour nap in there is too great to give up. Especially since just a few weeks ago, I was having to hold her for 15-20 minutes to get her to sleep. But after I put her down, she would just wake up 10 minutes later which was aggravating beyond compare. I mean - it could totally be worse since all we do is stick her in the swing, turn it on and walk away. Someone in my mom's class yesterday said she finally got her baby to sleep more than 2 hours at a time by swaddling with a pacifier in the swing and the swing had to keep swinging as well. So... progress I guess?
But now that I'm no longer so obsessed with naps, I find myself getting a little bored. Sigh. It's incredibly monotonous how every day is the same. Some other ladies in my class yesterday were saying the same thing so I guess it's a common issue that crops up around this time. Last week, I got out of the house once a day but this week not as much. I actually sort of enjoy organizing/cleaning stuff up now in the house just for a change. I also started weeding/gardening again outside - the tomato plants are coming back! So I may actually go back to work in the middle/end of august instead of september. I'm sure once I do though, I'll be itching to stay at home again...
