Lazy Saturday at home...

Grandma and cousin Shay came down this morning. In an attempt to catch up on lost sleep, Michael and I slept most of the day while Grandma and Shay occupied Jaci. I will say - this was the only time since going into the hospital that I have slept longer than a 3 hour stretch. Complete bliss I tell you!!!
Jaci has been doing well. She certainly has her days and nights mixed up - so any suggestions or advice will be greatly appreciated. So much to learn...

hey guys,

so sorry jaci has her days and nights mixed. my only advice is to be sure she is staying awake after she eats (during the day) and wake her up (during the day) to feed her. if you are already doing this and it isn't working i don't know what to tell you. that is what i did with my girls and it seemed to work. hope it was some what helpful.

Mindy, Jaci is beautiful. I know you are enjoying every minute...partly because you are awake for most of it. :)

I just had my baby, Isaac, August 15th. We just started reading "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child" by Marc Weissbluth and it's been AMAZING! Don't worry...in your drunken, no sleep state you don't have to read the whole book. :) Who has time or energy for that? :) I have just read his age section. It's pretty good. We have been getting some great sleep since we started it a week ago! I know that every baby is different. But I feel your pain and thought I would pass on what worked for us!
