Day 132

Long days and long nights lately... Poor Luciana doesn't get to sleep easily, and lately she's had to really cry before she passed out, exhausted. :( I hate it when she cries so hard, and anything I do won't help her stop, it seems. Well, tonight I swaddled her and just put her down; she cried for 5 minutes (if that) and fell asleep. She woke up about 10 minutes later, cried another few minutes and fell asleep again. I know now she's at that age where we can (and really should) just let her be and learn how to self soothe a bit. It's going to help her become a great sleeper like her big sis. :) As hard as it will be, no more rocking and walking her around forever, we know now it counter productive. We still cuddle and hold her, of course, it's just when she's tired, we know what she really needs now. Our girl is growing, and she's big enough now to start learning how to fall asleep on her own! 

Sleep sleep sleep sleep! It's all anyone with a baby can think a out! Lack of, in our house, but still.... :/ Our angel is worth every moment spent awake, no matter what time it is. We know she's learning, and that it takes time. 

Lots of renovations still going on at our house, and we are really getting going now! We can't wait until our second floor is done-- it's going to be so awesome! I'll wallpaper the girls' rooms, I hope it's something they'll like once their older. :) Mama is so looking forward to making each girl's room special. :)

That's all for today. Fingers and toes crossed that Lu sleeps for at least 3 hours before her next feeding!
