I'm halfway through my pregnancy now. I'm beyond excited. I just want to take all of the newborn clothes out of the space bags and wash them again and fold them into Nixon's dresser, and set up the co sleeper, and go buy a swing. I can wait though. My main priority is following Hayden's que's to come up with some sort of a routine for him. I decided that he needs to go to bed earlier. He's been going to bed at 9:45/10pm, and it's hard to get him to settle down. We used to have a great routine, until all of the moving stuff started. So we have been having dinner about 5:30/6pm, then going for a walk, or depending on how breezy it is, a night time swim, and then coming home, taking a warm bath, trying to read some books, and then laying in bed in the dark with a lullaby cd on. It worked really well last night, but he's been getting up and sleep walking/talking a lot lately. This week, he has asked for 'toothpaste,' 'to blow bubbles,' and last night he burst through his door into our room, draped in blankies, and headed for the living room to 'play with toys.' He didn't get very far, and collapsed on the floor and fell asleep. He ended up sleeping in the bed with me, and Andrew went to his spot on the couch, where he's found himself a lot lately because of Hayden, or my back killing me.
I'm hoping bedtime gets easier and easier, so that things with go smoothly when Nixon does decided to arrive.
