We had a perfect night and a wonderful morning. Austin went to bed like a little angel at 7:30. I woke him up to nurse at 5:45. He usually falls back to sleep while he's eating, but this morning he woke up to give me some precious little smiles while I changed his diaper. I loved it! Poor Dallas is having to get ready with a baby that is awake, and I'm going to be late for work; but I wouldn't change it for the world.
This is opposed to Sunday night when I was up twice because Austin rolled over on his tummy and got stuck. He can't roll back over onto his back, and he doesn't seem to realize that he can put his head down while on his tummy. It has to be a very rude awakening to be sound asleep one minute and stuck on your tummy having to hold your head up the next. It gets him all worked up. I have to turn him over and calm him down before he will go back to sleep. Sunday night I was awake every time he made a tiny sound because I was worried he might roll over again. I also couldn't help but worry about future nights when he got even better at rolling over, and we ended up going through this drill once an hour or more. On Monday night I took one arm out of his Woombie, which so far has stopped his rolling ability. He sleeps great all swaddled up with one arm stuck straight out from his side.

ReplyDeleteI just love getting these emails. You and Dal are doing a great job! Wish I were there.
ReplyDeleteSo much love, Mom
Pulling an arm out of the woombie is a good idea. He must have felt like he was in a straight jacket when he was on his tummy and unable to roll over on his back. With an arm out it gives him balance like the outrigger on a Polynesion canoe. Thanks again for keeping us updated. GiGi
