Like night and day

I can’t believe this, but I’m going to have to wake the Bug too take her home.

For weeks, we’ve been struggling with getting C to sleep at the office. She used to sleep here very well, but that suddenly stopped a few weeks ago. After then, she’d sleep only if you held her - obviously impossible in an office setting.

So Katie recommended creating a new napping room for her. We set up a bed, covered the windows (I’d tried this before but not so deliberately) and made sure there was white noise. We put a chair in there to use for getting her in bed easily - and back in bed easily if she were to wake up prematurely (which she did).

The Bug has now been asleep for two hours, and her father is about ready to clock out for the day. With any luck, I can get her straight from her isolation chamber to the car without really waking her.

This is a Good Thing.

So I took a nap this afternoon

I decided it was a guilt-free nap because I fell asleep getting the Bug down for her afternoon nap and because I helped her get back to sleep every time she awoke. I did it for the good of the whole, right?

Anyway, I don’t know how long I slept, all I know is I’m wide awake now. I tried to go to bed about an hour ago, but it just wasn’t happening.

I figure if I’ve got to be awake, I might as well be watching Platoon for the eightieth time.

First time ever

Pretty cool. Today at work, C fell asleep in the backpack, carried by her Mimmi, and - for the first time ever - we were able to take her from the back pack and put her in her car seat without waking her.

She was a good girl today.
