Daddy is back to work as of today, so it's just me and my baby girl now! I'm working on getting her to sleep a little more during the day because on average she clocks in a few hours of sleep less than her pediatrician would like her to get each day. She's just so curious -- she wants to look around instead of closing her beautiful blue eyes! Today I've tried to keep the apartment lights off and the bedroom curtains closed to make it a bit darker when I'm feeding her, which seems to have worked a little bit. It's hard not playing with her as much when she's awake -- she's just so darn cute!!! I could stare into those eyes, tickle her, and talk baby gibberish to her all day long. But, sleep and health are more important than playtime with mommy. So far she's napped a bit longer than normal today, so we'll see how this plan works out.... wish me luck!
Wow, can't believe she's already 4 weeks old! She is such a cutie!! Glad you're enjoying some good quality time with her :) Hopefully she'll start sleeping more for you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!!! I just responded to your other comment on my last post.... how is Avery doing?? I hope better!! Is Ashton home now? I hope all 3 of you are doing well! xo
DeleteOh i love that third picture! Such an alert little girl... I can't blame her for not wanting to sleep...the world is just so fun to look at! I hope your nap plan works and she gets all the sleep her little body needs :-)
ReplyDeleteShe has definitely become much more alert over the past few days! It's very exciting on the one hand, but I also want to make sure she's getting enough sleep to stay healthy and keep growing!
