A Good Night

We got our one good night for the week last night - we were able to get out of the house for a quick Valentine's dinner at a local pizza place and Sara did pretty good. She doesn't like being strapped into her carseat if the car isn't moving, so she woke up at the restaurant after a few minutes. Luckily she was calm once we picked her up and could take turns holding her and eating. She did manage to have a nice diaper blowout at the restaurant and we got to change her entire outfit in the car before we left for home, but it was still really nice to get out of the house for a while! The good night continued at home when Sara went down in her bassinet at 10:30 and slept for four hours. She went back down in the bassinet two more times and got up around 7:30 to eat. She seems to wake up when it gets light outside just like her daddy. It will be nice when she's on more of a sleeping schedule and stays in her bassinet or crib all night regularly, but we'll take the good nights we can get for now.


Sara did pretty good today too and is eating constantly. I think she might be having one of her many growth spurts - she's going to be a big chunky baby soon! I'm glad that she's eating so well, but it is hard being home alone with her all day when she needs to eat all the time because I can't get anything done. I barely got a shower today before she started screaming to eat again! Hopefully she'll be done with this growth spurt in a day or so and will go down for some longer naps again during the day!
