33/365 Sleeping Beauty

Lit by the dim glow of Sal the Seahorse, sleeping peacefully with quiet melodies playing in the background,a satisfied and sweet smile on her face, and clutching her "Lovie" ladybug blanket, here is my Sleeping Beauty:




Though she is still waking a couple more times during the night than Mama and Daddy would like, we are very happy that she sleeps in her own crib every single night. (I know many people with babies her age and a little older that are just now struggling with making the transition into the crib/nursery. We started putting her in her own room around 6 weeks old and though it was only for a few hours a night at that point, and that few hours was always really hard for Mama, I am so glad we made that decision. )

And in regards to her waking up more often than we would prefer, although it really stinks getting up at 3:30 in the morning to soothe the baby and sometimes feed her, the reward of seeing the above precious face once she falls back asleep (which usually never takes more than 5-10 minutes) is worth every minute of sleep lost. I will catch up on my sleep one day, but she will only be this tiny for so long.
