I had no idea how many pro-tummy moms I’d hear from! Thanks to all for the comments and emails about the blissful life of the tummy-sleeping-baby. Cooper has found his niche.
We did hit a bump in the “cry yourself to sleep” road, though, as right after I wrote the last post, he came down with an awful cold / virus and sported his first ever fever – 101.6. He was sleepless, napless, and spent the better part of the day wailing. He is much better today (thank goodness!) and actually slept for 10 hours straight last night, once his fever broke. Casey and I had an early morning meeting to go to together today, and I actually had to wake the bugger up to nurse him before I left.
Now the baby Boo is napping (after a little screeching – but hey – he fell asleep on his own! and it’s been nearly two hours!) and Kenny is having some “quiet time” in the living room… he’s coloring pictures and listening to Abba on the IPod. Is there anything cuter than that?? Of course, “quiet time” to Kenny usually entails him calling to me every three minutes: “Mama? Is my quiet time over yet? It’s taking a really long time.”
I decided to celebrate my own quiet time today by not folding laundry and instead did something more interesting and enriching. I spent fifteen minutes surfing on Ebay. I even bid on an awesome pair of designer jeans. After all… I need something to jet around the house in, right? Real Housewives of …the Chesapeake Bay? Ha. Ha, ha.
Hm. I hear a baby calling my name… “WAAAAAAAAAA….”
