Happy 100th post!


I've finally hit the 100th post milestone! It's hard to believe I've had enough to say to merit 100 posts and hopefully this hasn't been a bore to everyone. It's my life, though. What else can I say?

Life has been full of excitement over the last month. So many new things happening and so little time! I can't believe how fast time has gone. Janzyn is 4 weeks old now and growing like a weed. He's still having a tough time sleeping at night, but I may have finally figured out why. The medical professionals will tell you that you are endangering the life of your infant by placing him on his belly to sleep. As a dutiful mother, I never even considered going against professional opinion and Janzyn has slept on his back throughout the first month of his life. Well....last night he was fussing and nothing I did would settle him down. I finally laid him on his belly and patted his little bum. He instantly fell asleep! Not only that, but he slept for FIVE hours straight! Ahhh, the bliss! When he woke up, he was fed, burped, changed and laid back down on his belly. Guess what?! He fell asleep again and slept for another five hours. Now, the problem is deciding if my sanity and his sleep is worth going against advise of medical professionals who know so much more than I do, or if I just fly in the face of danger and let him peacefully sleep on his belly? Hmmm, I'm going to have to think this one through before coming to a conclusion. In the mean time, Janzyn will be peacefully resting on his tummy!

He's so adorable!!! I need more pics of this sweet boy! I say whatever works you should do. I put all 3 of my kids on the belly's to sleep and they all seemed okay! Good luck!
