another fun week in the life of nora! we had her four month appointment this week (a little early... we are going to ohio tomorrow!!!) the doctor said nora was perfect... duh! and, her belly button is totally healed! yeah! it looks normal now.
the other night, we let nora cry herself to sleep for the first time. actually, david started it when i was gone. smart man. that first time, she cried for 15 minutes, and she is averaging 10 minutes or less now. we didn't enforce it yesterday, cause we are all sick, but she seems to be doing well. and, we are all feeling better.
i now know what all those moms mean when they talk about how hard it is. i had tears in my eyes the first time i heard her crying for that long. and i was sick to my stomach. i hate hearing my baby so upset. but, i know what i am doing is good. and, david is strong! (he said he was very proud of how i handled it all) tonight, she was SO TIRED! she was fussy, but NOTHING helped... not feeding her, not rocking her. sometimes, when she is like that, all she wants is her bed. she loves to get in bed and sleep... but not tonight. so, she cried herself to sleep. it was almost easy this time, because i knew that was what she wanted, and i wasn't able to comfort her by rocking...
well, we go to ohio tomorrow... we can't wait! we'll have lots more to show when we get back!
