Yep - 8 months ago today I was having a baby! Ok, still to this day I can't believe it. I have a wonderful daily reminder though! She is still doing great. We had a rough night while Daddy is away at the cook-off, but we managed. She woke around 12:40 and I think I finally got to bed around 2:00. Surprisingly I wasn't too extremely tired today. I was busy and I think that helped. No clue why she got up, but after a lot of crying it out she finally went back to sleep. We tried letting her cry it out the other night and I failed miserably. I stared at the clock and the monitor for maybe 10 minutes and gave in. I know, I am a sucker. She doesn't cry, so it was really hard for me to listen to her get that upset. I scooped her up and she was back asleep within a couple of minutes. We didn't hear a peep all night...so something worked...sort of. Well last night I figured the same thing, but she didn't cry near as hard. She rolled herself over and scooted to both ends of the bed, turned her aquarium on and off and then decided to pick it up and bang it against the side of the crib. Ok, Mom gives in again! Also, mental note that the mattress needs to be moved down a notch or two. She got mad that time, so I scooped her up again. And it didn't help that during this crying session she was crying 'ma ma' the bulk of the time. Does she know how to pull at my heart or what? Well she fell back asleep and allowed me to lay her back in her bed. Ahh success. I am hoping for a better night tonight. Nana and Grandpa are going to come tomorrow for some Cora time while I go do the Rodeo thing for my committee at the cook-off. Last night was hard not being out there - I haven't missed it since I opened the Downtown Aquarium and that was five years ago! I was there all three days last year while I was 5 months pregnant. There is always next year!
Well I better get some things done while she is asleep, so then I can get some sleep. Have a wonderful weekend!
