New To This

I am not particularly computer savvy, but after reading various blog postings that I could not stop "following" I decided to make one of my own. I have NO idea what I am doing, but I hope to learn as I go. I thought this would be a great alternative to journaling and a cool way to meet some fellow "bloggers". I have recently become a new mother, so a lot of the blogs I have been following have given me some awesome parenting tips along with some comic relief!



Tonight, my husband and I are attempting to put our 7 week old daughter, Grace into her pack 'n play bassinet. We had another baby bassinet, but she didn't quite like that one so after about a week of her fussying in the bassinet, we *gasp* put her in the bed with us in her Boppy. I know, I know that is the worst thing you can do. BUT she started sleeping 6-8 hrs a night at 2.5 weeks!!! It was just so nice to get some good sleep. However, Grace is a big baby (she was 9 lbs 8 oz when she was born) so she is sort of out growing laying on the Boppy :) (she is now a little over 12 lbs). I feel she is still a bit too young to be sleeping in her room all by herself, so her pack 'n play will go in our room for the time being. I am SO nervous about putting her in the pack 'n play bassinet because I don't know how she will sleep, but I pray that she continues to sleep through the night. I also felt very comfortable with the fact that I could see her easily as she slept and now she will be a few feet away from me instead of right next to me. I know it's about time she get out of our bed, but I am new to all of this and it is making me extremely nervous. My husband is setting up the pack 'n play in our room as we speak and it is making my heart skip a few beats here and there! She has one more feeding before we put her down and try it out for the night. Hopefully, her tummy will be full and she won't have a problem going to bed for the night. *crossing my fingers*



Well, I will update as to how this goes, but I am praying for good results! :-)
