<p>Morning!</p>
<p>I slept rather well last night. We put our old mattress back on the bed in the Master Bdrm.  It had been on the bed in the guest room.  The mattress we bought a year ago is just not cutting it.  DW wants to get a new one, just like our old one.  I have to agree, the old one is better, but still needs to be replaced.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Swim with the boys this morning.  I got my run in yesterday, so far I am staying the course and running every other day this month!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoy the day.</p>

<p>Good morning to you all!</p>
<p>I'm hoping to run tomorrow...it's been a week now and I have just been too lazy to do it.</p>
<p>HJ enjoy Puerto Rico...it's one of my favorite places.  I hope you all will be able to visit the interior of the island as well...it's small and you can drive around it leisurely in a day.</p>

<p>HJ- have a great trip!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Last night was a very not good night for me and Zoe. She was up for HOURS last night. Just up, wide awake. Talking, singing, etc. Lovely. Don't think I will even be able to muster a run today.</p>

<p>Good morning! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Meri- I hope you manage your zombie-fied day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We close on the new house in a week and a half.  Eek!  I need to schedule movers, switch utilities and all that jazz.  Still no one has come to see our current house.  Stress!</p>

<p>HAVE FUN, BENJ! (yelling so he can hear me over the screams while he's getting scanned and/or patted down in the airport)</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>jebba,</p>
<p>EEEEEEEK! indeed!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Meri,</p>
<p>sorry about the sleep</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is she ready/willing to sleep in her own bed? Or isn't that something that you've decided on at this time?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>QUESTION FOR YOU, Meri~~~> when I am ready to mold my Sole inserts, do I stand in the shoes while wearing running socks? or barefoot?</p>
<p> </p>

 

[merigayle]

<p>Porty- i think i did it in socks. They are not hot at all. i hope they help!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We have decided that cosleeping is for us for now. We have a crib sidecarred to the bed, which means we took a crib, took one side off of it and attached it to the bed, so she starts the night off in there. I think I would get much less sleep if she was in her own room. At least i can sort of not wake up completely, well, except for episodes like last night. I do love my Zoe cuddles though, I will admit <span><img alt="love4.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/love4.gif"></span></p>

<p>Soli never slept well through the night until we night weaned her.  And boy, that was tough.  Mr jebba had to comfort her, because if I tried to and wouldn't nurse, she'd lose her shit, poor thing.  What helped was some advice from a friend who is a pediatrician.  She said I didn't have to focussed on making her not cry.  I had to be focussed on making sure she knew I am there for her.  So it's okay if I was rubbing her back while she are cried rather than ceding to her desire to nurse.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I totally get the desire to simply nurse on demand thaough, and I applaud you for it. </p>

<p>Jebba-- the debate now is if it is time to start nightweaning. I will talk about it at La Leche in 2 weeks and get their advice. I did tell her last night that booby went night night and she was hysterical and I just held her and comforted her. Once before I had to do that after HOURS of nursing at night and just goofing around and she cried for a minute then fell asleep in my arms. I am not sure what was up last night. It was an odd night. I know the nightweaning is hard. I am ok with the twice a night feedings, when they are fast and i barely wake up for them, that is a HUGE accomplishment. At 1yo, she was waking 8-10 times a night to nurse and using the "No Cry Sleep Solution" I got it down to 2-3. Sigh. It is hard. I am very AP in my parenting and it is hard when she cries even though I am there comforting her. Now as she is getting older, it is harder with gentle discipline and to say no, but we do and it is not always pretty. who knew temper tantrums were innate!?!?!?!?! LOL</p>
