My house is a disaster area. Maybe not to some, but it is to me since I've become a complete neat freak. I clean my kitchen, and by clean I mean scrub the counters, at least every other day but it still manages to get messy daily. I have dogs, who I love but would like to get rid of to be quite honest, and they manage to track in dirt and hair and other gross things. I need to vacuum daily but I have a 2 story house and a 3 month old so needless to say, that doesn't happen. Not even close.
What I need to do is do a room each day but it is so much harder than it seems. Being a stay at home mom of a 3 month old is so not easy, not that I expected it to be, but I won't lie...it's harder than I thought. She does not like to take naps, as she is whimpering in her crib right now fighting it, but babycenter.com says that 3 month old babies need to get about 5 hours of sleep during the day. My little nugget takes a few 45 minute naps during the day, and that's just not enough time to clean, or work out which is something I'd love to have the time for. Ha. I know it'll probably, hopefully, become easier as she gets older and maybe takes a couple nice LONG naps during the day like other babies I know, but for now I am ready to tear my hair out at the thought of being in my gross house. There are so many little things I need to do and who knows when I will have the time for them, see one of my other blogs below for my list I made myself. I don't know if it's on the list, but I need to pull out my stove and clean the sides of it (so gross) and also, put new shelf paper in my cabinets.
Also, I need some suggestions on how to get my baby to stop fighting sleep so much and start napping during the day more. She's in her crib babbling and whining, not crying, as we speak because her eyes were getting droopy. I think when I'm done here I'll go rub her tummy and put her pacifier back in, and then see if she goes to sleep or not.

Do you put anything in the bed with her? I used the heartbeat bear and that helped Addison fall asleep. I also pushed for her to suck her thumb that way when the pacifier fell out the thumb went in.
ReplyDeleteAddison went through this too...not wanting to nap. You just have to keep pushing it and sticking to a schedule. We used to wake Addison up everyday at a certain time so she was tired for her nap. I still have to do this and she is a year old. If not, she will never stick to her schedule and sleep during the day which she needs so much!
Yep. She has a seahorse. She loves it. She sucks her hands when she doesn't have a pacifier.
ReplyDeleteI do try I swear. What kind of schedule? She usually naps about 2 hours after she wakes up but its for like 45 minutes so its not nearly long enough. In fact I just wrote a blog about this, haha, but I just finally set her in her crib about 15 minutes ago and she just now is asleep after screaming. I am praying that she stays asleep for at least an hour and a half which is a stretch because she hates it.
