Sleep!!!!

I really have no idea how people do it, or how I do it. As a new mom, everyone knows, you don't get a lot of sleep. Mackenzie has decided that she wants to sleep during the day and play at night. And by play, I mean she wants to stay up and stare at you...but when you finally get her to sleep, you better hold her for another hour before you try to move. If you do move before that hour is up, she will play a little trick and wake up IMMEDIATELY! Then it is back to rocking and sitting for atleast another hour. If you lay her in her bassinet and she isn't completely out, she will stay awake and cry.

I am one of those people that can't stand to hear her cry, so I pick her back up and try it all over again.

The only place I can put her down and she pass back out is on the couch. She loves laying on the couch, with her head on a big pillow. Yes, I know you aren't supposed to put your baby on anything cushy, but it works. Don't worry, I do watch her when she is there, but she doesn't roll over anyway, so I really don't have to worry yet.

Mackenzie, right now, really loves to eat about every hour or 2 especially at night, so that means we have REALLY LONG nights! I hope things get better, but I am kinda getting used to running on no sleep.

But one exciting thing that I really hoped was going to last is....
This past Thursday night Mackenzie slept from 2:30 until 7! When I woke up at 7 (I heard her making little noises so I knew she was ok), I looked at the clock and really thought something had happened to the power or someone had changed my clock. I couldn't believe that she had slept that long. Don't worry, that was the only time that actually happened.

Maybe one day, RIGHT???
