Growth Spurt

I'm not going to go into details about the growth spurt now, but it was a rough week!! It's over now, but today he has hardly napped. So even though I'm not feeding him every 2 hours, he's still waking up and fussing unless I put him in his swing. He's never been great at napping, but it's been worse the past couple of days.

I'm actively working on fixing this "problem." It might not be something that can be fixed or even should be fixed, we'll see. At this point I'm trying to keep nap time as nap time, even if he isn't sleeping. I either keep putting his pacifier in while he's in his bassinet or I put him in his swing (he still doesn't sleep in his swing, but he's quiet). One thing I need to start doing is putting him in his crib for naps instead of in his bassinet in our bedroom.

Speaking of that, I still haven't started putting him in his crib for nights. :-( I think I'm ready though. It's been hard for me to think about him being in another room at night. Right now his bassinet is right next to my side of the bed. I leave the bathroom light on so I can see him at night. Not that I've been looking at him at night though. After I go to bed I don't look in because he rarely makes a sound at night. So it's getting easier to imagine him not being right next to me at night.

Oh well...I am tired and have a headache. I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow. I've found a playgroup and have been doing things with them. Tomorrow is the first time I'm going to someone's house for a playgroup meeting and it's 30 minutes away. Then in the afternoon I'm meeting a friend who will then come over for a movie night at our house. So I'll be busy from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed.
