So we implemented a back only sleeping policy for Lucy, which mostly applies to Grandma's daycare, but also to ourselves. Apparently something we should have been enforcing all along. Especially hard because of how well she used to sleep on her tummy at Grandma's. Well, after laying down the rule on Monday morning, she really hasn't been sleeping much during the day, instead of the sleeping all the time like before. So besides trying to get her used to sleeping on her back again consistently, we're also starting to sleep train, or at least try to. Which we've been trying, or at least paying some attention to for a month or so. We try and have her last meal as close to bedtime as possible, which we think is currently 9pm. Last night she went down then and didn't wake up until 5am, which led to an actual argument between Tracy and I. Tracy thought I should have put Lucy back down after her feeding as if it was a night feeding, while I thought Lucy was done sleeping for the night, and it was her wake up time. Could go either way, especially since Lucy isn't all that scheduled right now. But Lucy's definitely looks more tired, seems crankier, fussier. Although it also seems like she's growing, longer. She actually feels like she's getting a little leaner. I've also taken to putting socks on her when her feet get cold. And the new SwaddleMe is still a little too big, so it's just as easy to get her arms free at some point in the night. Besides baby stuff, rented Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief and Hot Tub Time Machine from Redbox. First time in a while for that. Worked a lot today too, well into the night. Trying to also be a little better on snacking, and eating healthier. Helps there's no desserts in the house.
