DIY Co-Sleeper

Sunday night was the first night with this new arrangement.

So far so good.  Although she was still mostly snuggled between the two of us, the fear of her rolling off was not there.  We all slept like babies.

Dave is working out of town for a couple of nights, and we figured it would be a good idea to finally set the crib up in our room.


I love it, I love it.  I get more space, but I still get to be close to the ones that I love while I sleep.  Dave thinks it's a step in the right direction to eventually transitioning Olivia to her own bed.  I agree.  She should be in her own bed by time she goes to college at this rate.






I added these pictures that I took last night.  I moved the crib back so that it's against the wall, I think this is an even safer option.

Having faith

Me: Wow, Olivia is almost nine and a half months old.

Dave: Yup.

Me: That means that she is almost 1 year old.

Dave: Yup.

Me:  I cannot believe that I'm actually going to make it to 1 year of successful breastfeeding, pumping and working full-time. I had my doubts, but now I know we are going to make it.  I'm pretty proud of myself, it's been kinda hard at times.

Dave:  Yup.

Me:  Seriously?  That's it? Not even a pat on the back???  I deserve something big. Huge.

Dave:  Due to recent budget cuts "we" will no longer be giving out pats on the back.  Plus, I never once doubted that you would make it.

I miss getting to blog

I started a new job and life has just been very busy for our little family as we try to settle in to our new normal.  I miss blogging, I miss sharing fun stories about my baby, and I miss uploading fun pictures.   Instead of blogging I'm trying to spend some really good time with Olivia in the evenings and on the weekends and it hasn't left me much time to write and upload pictures.

I promise to get back into the swing of some regular blogging.  I feel like I have a lot to share and my baby girl is doing new things everyday.

Life is very very very good to us right now and I'm trying to take the time and enjoy it.
