Unexplainable......motherhood!!!!

My grandma always use to tell me, "You are not a woman until you have had a child", and I would just laugh. And throughout my pregnancy, everyone said once my little one was here, my life would be changed for ever.......and they were right!!! There are no words to explain the joy I have felt the last two months since given birth to my little one!!! He has become and is MY LIFE!!! And it doesn't matter that he wakes me up constantly throughout the night, and I'm functioning on 2-3 hrs of sleep. It is all worth it!!!! There is nothing more gratifying than to wake up and see his sleeping little face at 1:00am!!! Lol He is my love, my heart, my world!!!!

Sleeping Chronicles: Part 1

In an attempt to avoid "co-sleeping" with Baby James, I took to the web search of a solution! I didn't want him getting used to sleeping in the bed with me. In my search, I wanted something that would be compact, mobile, and be used while traveling as well. In my search I came across the First Years Close and Secure Sleeper on Amazon. The first thing that caught my eye was the price, compared to others this one was under $40 bucks and I would have it in 2 days with Amazon prime. After reading the reviews, I decided to purchase. 


Once it was delivered I was impressed by the lightness of it as well as, no assembly was required! All I had to do was unfold it and it was ready to go!!! It seemed to be very durable, but I noticed towards the bottom the mesh area is not as stable as the top...but I still loved it! The first night with Baby James went great!!! And he seemed to sleep in it well....the second night was a little different. In the middle of the night I woke to discover James hanging halfway out of the sleeper!!! And I couldn't figure out why! Sooooo on the 3rd night I decided to stay up in hopes of seeing how he came out of the sleeper. Low and behold my 5 WEEK OLD had scooted himself out!!! Lol 

The mesh lining is the only complaint I have...just hoping Baby James doesn't grow too fast and will be able to use it for a few months! But overall, I think it's going to work great for traveling as well as for use as needed at home. In the meantime, I'll just have to put Baby James back in the sleeper when he decides to wiggle out!!!
