I think I’m coming down with something. So far this morning I have a load of diapers in the washer, vacuumed, and did a load of dishes. I am sitting here trying to figure out what else needs to be done. I am tired of watching tv. I want to be productive. The problem is that I’ve kept up on most of the housework. I suppose I can clean the bathroom. That’s what I’ll do next. I want to take Laura out for a walk at some point today. Since Robert has a housecall after work tonight, I’m sure I’ll work it in somewhere. Now I just need to figure out what to have for dinner. Anyone have any suggestions? I have lunch figured out.
Last night was a great night for us. Laura crashed at 8:30 or so. She slept until 11:45, woke up to eat. Then crashed again until 4. rjrbytes got up with her then. Once he got her back to sleep, she slept until 8:30. We put a fan in her room to create some white noise. I think that is what made such a big difference. It is amazing how rested I feel today.
Yesterday Mom and Dad came up to visit. It was great having them here. Laura was a little fussy, so Mom took care of her to give me a break. It was greatly appreciated. My goal for the next week is to get Laura to put herself to sleep. It isn’t going to be easy, but it needs to be done. I really don’t want to have to rock or nurse her to sleep all the time. This morning I put her down while she was drowsy, and she crashed about 15 minutes later. She didn’t even cry really hard. 
Hopefully the rest of the naps today will go as smoothly.
Time to keep moving!

Try this
Glad to hear things are going well. I would get something like this to help her fall a sleep if you don’t have one already.

It works great. We still use it. It has three settings. One is music the 2nd is lights and music and the 3rd is movement as well as the other two. From night one we would turn it on when we put her down. It did not take long for her to expect it. Its just a thought but I thought I would pass it on! Don’t wear yourself out too much.
Ideas for supper… I’m making pizza :-P Maybe pork chops or chicken with baked potatoes and a salad? Its easy and tastes good!
