Everyone tells you that in time, it will happen. Well, 8 weeks ago my son was born and I've patiently awaited each milestone. The first time he rolled over was at 3 weeks - and I made sure my camera was on hand to capture the moment. The first time he smiled at the sound of my voice made my heart melt - and continues to do so everytime he gurgles and gives me that gummy smile. But now I am anxiously awaiting the first time he decides to sleep through the night consistently. For the past few weeks he's been pretty good about sleeping at least 5 hours before his next feeding, but recently he's been a bear to put to sleep and keep asleep. Our patience is wearing thin - which is normal for all parents. But I hate feeling frustrated with him and just wish I could help smooth out the situation. I've been reading the "Baby Whisperer" by Tracy Hogg and can't decide whether her methods have helped or hindered our situation. I guess I need to just listen to him and continue our routine rather than listening to what the Baby Whisperer says should happen. There is so much to learn as a first time parent, and despite the frustrations, I truly have loved the joys that motherhood brings everyday.
