The Simple Woman's Daybook: Monday ~ 3.22.10

Outside my window: Sunshine!

I am thinking: about what it will be like to have a new baby in the house, soon!

I am thankful for: Hubby working a permanant day shift! Monday thru Friday!

I am wearing: my pink Superman t-shirt and comfy pj bottoms.

I am remembering: what it was like when Gracie was a baby.

I am going: no where today, hence the super casual clothes.

I am currently reading: Stand-In Groom by Kaye Dacus.

I am hoping: to confirm the date for our c-section at this week's doctor appt.

On my mind: getting things done around the house before the baby comes.

I am noticing that: Gracie is becoming more like a little girl and less like a baby.

From the kitchen: Last night was taco night.

Around the house: Things are halfway picked up. The kitchen floor really needs to be cleaned.

One of my favorite things: A completely clean house.

From my picture journal: Gracie at 6 weeks.

Gracie Arrives.

I have been meaning to get into the habit of posting. I think about it every day. Then, the day gets away from me. But, I know there is so much that I am going to want to remember so I am going to try really hard to get something posted every week-day. May as well set the bar high, right? =) So, I thought I would start with a recap of Gracie's birth. Wed Oct 15th: We have our 39 week doctor appt. We are scheduled for an ultrasound before the dr visit. The ultrasound shows that the baby is 8 pounds 14 ounces. Mommy is a little stunned and has a hard time getting up and leaving the office. We see the dr and he explains that the baby could be one pound bigger or one pound larger than the weight the ultrasound showed. Either way we are looking at an 8-10 pound baby. Mommy is still in shock. The dr checks me and determines that nothing is really happening and things are not favorable to induce the baby. We can wait and see if I go into labor or we can schedule a c-section. If we get

Babywise Bootcamp.

We are engaged in a little Babywise boot-camp at our house. Gracie's sleeping has gotten pretty bad and we have to do something. So, we are cracking down on her. It is not easy. Listening to her cry is just about the wost thing ever. I have been following the eat-play-sleep cycle from Babywise , but not much else. I have been putting her to sleep, while she listens to the vacuum cleaner or the stove fan. She is so used to napping on me that she won't sleep in her bed during the day. So, I end up holding her for nap-time so that she will actually take a nap. She does okay in her bed at night, most of the time. In the past week she has been up twice for 2-hour stretches in the middle of the night. As much as I love her, this isn't Mommy's favorite time to hang out with Gracie. It has become quite a struggle to get her to go to sleep and stay asleep. We are experiencing too many evenings of Gracie crying because she is up too late and can't fall asleep. Last night wa
