Since having my sweet baby jojo I have read so many other blogs by mommy's out there and they are so interesting and fun to read so I decided to try blogging again. It's kind of a way to keep a diary too I guess because there's so much I want to share with everyone about Jocelyn and the cute things she does, how fast she's growing up, and maybe give some advice that could help other new moms.
She just turned 7 months yesterday. It's crazy how fast time has flown by. I'm looking forward to watching her grow up and all the fun experiences we are going to have yet I want her to stay where she's at now. She's just so darn cute! I never knew I could feel so much love for another person, and it grows stronger every day. She's so squishy and I just want to kiss her over and over every time I look at her. It's some hard work being a mom but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
We just started putting her to sleep in her crib in her own room a few nights ago because she still wakes up in the middle of the night and keeps us up with her jabbering, and then I eventually have to get up and feed her. I don't know whether to keep getting her up to feed her or let her cry it out so she'll learn to sleep through the night, I'm so confused!! I read about how important it is to teach them good sleep habits early on but then I have people telling me I probably need to still be getting her up and she'll sleep through the night when she's ready. I guess I'll just keep doing it because it's torture letting her cry for too long.
I also decided to quit pumping :( I feel selfish for it (and formula is so expensive!) but I am proud of myself for even doing it this long and I'm ready to get some of my life back and not have to worry about making the time to pump, how much alcohol/caffeine I drink, getting to work late, blah blah blah. With the next baby I'd like to actually nurse longer. I only nursed Jocelyn for about 2 weeks, most painful thing ever!!
Anywho, I gotta learn how to work this blogging thing, get some cute pictures and videos up. Peace out!
