Hello Readers!
I decided that my last post was a bit dramatic and depressing. I apologize. I have decided to be more uplifting with my posts because who the heck wants to read something depressing. We want good stories like shower curtain hooks and feet, right? So anyway, I have decided that I need to be excited about all the jobs I applied for on Wednesday, all 10 of them, and that I am grateful there are opportunities out there! Anyway, I have something exciting to tell you. Riley is not only sleeping through the night again, he is NAPPING, in his crib now too. You see we have been on again off again with the whole sleeping through the night thing. It is rather annoying! I mean we'll go weeks with him sleeping and then one night he just wakes up and cries and won't go back to sleep unless he is in bed with us...not cool. Well, the other night (Tuesday) I decided we should try and put a fan in his room to see if it would help. HOLY COW! It was a freakin' miracle. He has not only slept through the night but that next day (Wednesday) I was home with him and said hey lets just try napping in the crib, and what do you know....it worked! I am JUMPING for joy here people!!! Both naps in his crib, so far we are 3/3 including today. It is so exciting for this to happen because he normally sleeps on our bed for nap time and I always go check on him to make sure he doesn't roll off. Now who the freak cares if he rolls around in his crib?!! I don't! He can't fall out!! Nap time is way more enjoyable for me and him now. THANK GOODNESS!!!

I must agree that white noise for napping and bedtime is the best thing ever! We discovered that a while back and Bridget's slept with it ever since. During the winter when it's too cold for a fan, we play a white noise CD (Nate made it) on repeat and it also does the trick.
We use fans in both of our kids' rooms...they really are miracle workers! :) Naptime is my most favorite time of the day!
How exciting! Isabelle just started sleeping in her crib through the night. Before, she was sleeping in her carrier (which was in her crib) through the night and I was afraid it was going to be a HUGE process to get her just in the crib, but it wasn't. Phew!
Now, the next step is naps in the crib. Right now, she naps in the swing.
Good luck with the job hunt. I totally understand the insurance issue. Used to work for TCH, and I was so happy when my husband found another job and I could get rid of crappy TCH insurance. You'll find something! Hang in there! :)
Yay for sleeping babies!! I am so glad you found that the fan works. Good thinkin! I am so sorry to hear about the job. I feel like I haven't talked to you in so long. I am glad to hear things are going better than your last post. Good luck on the whole job thing. Let me know if you need some cheering up and we can go out to lunch or something.
FANS ARE THE GREATEST!! we have used one with all 3 of our kids. It helps them sleep so well! And the latest SIDS studies show that if you have a fan in your baby's room, the chances of death go WAY down. YAY, DOUBLE WHAMMY!
