rock n play

I've discovered that our nighttime is very unpredictable.
Monday night was rough, with us passing Joseph back and forth from 2-4am. He wasn't necessarily crying, but grunting and seemed uncomfortable to me. Last night was awesome. Tonight, well, I should be asleep right now because it could be like Monday night and I'm at my grandparents without a husband next to me to pass him off to.
Naturally, I think something is wrong. It's the mother in me. So, I have cut out dairy and soy, two of the biggest problem causers while nursing. I also went out and got some gas drops. Now it's the question of which of these things made him more comfortable last night.
Well, I have quite a few friends that swear by the rock n play, it cuddles them on an incline making it great for babies with reflux (not saying he has that, please lord don't let him have that, I know too many mamas that have struggled through that awfulness, but he doesn't scream, so I'm pretty sure it's not)...so that's what I purchased today and he is currently asleep in right now....

I'll alternate between this and the bassinet while we're at home. But, this will also make for the perfect travel sleeper to take back and forth to Me-mom and Be-pops and on vacation.
He seemed to like it, even when he was awake..

I'll let you know by next week if it's on my "favorite things" list.

In other news, I stopped using the nipple shield as of Monday. I'm currently letting the piranha go to town and hoping that I get used to it.

Off to bed for me. I'm worn out. We had another wonderful family dinner tonight with my grandparents, uncle, parents, brother and niece, except for Anthony and Joshua, who were at our never ending baseball practices.

Here's Madeline picking lettuce in the garden with Memom...
