Ok, I'm convinced...

I started reading Healthy Sleep habits, Happy Child again last night. I was reading what to do when baby awakens in the middle of the night fussy but not hungry. As I was reading, I hear Maura over the baby monitor starting to fuss. I followed the book's instructions. I did not go to her. She wasn't crying, just fussing. I knew that she was fussing because she had lost her pacifier and was coming out of her sleep cycle. Anyway, I listened. I read. I bite my tongue and held my breath. And she quieted down after only 12 minutes. She then slept until her one and only feeding during the night at 3 am.

Oh, did I mention that I put her down at 8 pm instead of 9?? So she slept from 8 to 7 with one feeding. I'll take that. I'm going to spend the rest of today reading and memorizing the rest of the book...

On another note, I'm feeling really horrible about myself! After seeing the pictures from the Baptism, I realize that I'm looking as fat as I feel. I've actually gained weight in the last month. I'm so bummed. So I got on the treadmill yesterday. I'm going to try to get on the treadmill every other day. And I need to start watching what I'm eating. That's the hard part for me. Well, no, it's all hard. I can use all the encouragement and advice that you all can muster on this one.
