We're getting the hang of this!

So I vastly underestimated how much help I was really getting with all of the family here! I LOVED having everyone here but I really thought that I was sleeping less because I was trying to spend as much time as possible with them...wrong!

We took Mrs. Ann (our last survivor from the weekend) to the airport Tuesday afternoon so Wednesday was our first day just the two of us (Joey went back to work on Tuesday). Since both of his grandmothers were wonderfully willing to hold Mr. Hayes all morning while he took his siestas, he wanted me to do the same! He would be sleeping soundly in my arms and as soon as his little body touched the bassinet, he woke up in anger. So we didn't nap until that afternoon when we fell asleep together on the couch!

Yesterday was better and he slept in his crib for the first time for a nap in the morning! We figured a few more things out and the whole day felt more in sync than the day before.

Last night Joey and I decided to try the crib out for the night....Hayes was not on board at first (I mean, wouldn't you want to sleep in the king bed v the crib?!) but it did not take long until he was asleep (yes, Mom...we let him cry for just a few minutes but the books say that does NOT make us bad parents!!). And we had two nighttime meals after which he immediately went back to sleep in his crib without a fuss at all!

So we are getting the hang of some things....I got much more sleep last night because my sweet husband was willing to check on Hayes every so often so I could get some much needed sleep. I feel great today and have actually been able to get some things done around the house!
