Ferber day 3

I broke down and bought a Ferber book. I can hear you thinking "Whaaaaat she hadn't even read the book?!". I had done most of my reading online but I found nothing on naps and the night prior made me feel like I was doing it wrong. Well, so far the book has actually said everything that I was experiencing was normal and that I was doing everything right. I'm so glad I bought it. Gave me peace of mind.

Things are looking up! I only had to go in and soothe Stella 4 times! She fell asleep after 38 min. Hallelujah!!

On a side note I bought Stella several of my favorite books from my childhood while we were at Barnes & Noble. Walking around the children's section was like was walking down memory lane. It made me so excited to read Ronald Dhal, Amelia Badelia, and The boxcar kids to Stella. The list could go on forever. I bought her the book "Mama, do you love me?". I had forgotten about this gem. As I read it to Stella I started to cry. Becoming a mother has softened my bitter cold heart so much. Before Stella I was not a cryer and didn't let much affect me. Now, everything touches my heart and even though I seem like a cry baby, I really enjoy being able to show my feelings in a soft loving way. Funny how God works your heart in ways you never expected.


This picture is completely unrelated to this entire post but.... How can I not show you a picture of baby's first pigtails?!






Love you, my dear one.


UPDATE:
Stella woke up a happy girl at 7:15. Almost nine hours straight!!
