Tonight, for the first time in her short but eventful life, Lauren fell asleep ON HER OWN! It may just be a one of, and it may only last an hour (we didn't swaddle her so she's probably going to wake herself up with her flailing arms) but it's a step in the right direction. We gave her a bath, and as soon as she was dressed in her jammies, Peter laid her down in her crib, wound up (winded up?) her mobile and turned down the lights. 10 minutes later, VOILA!!!
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing sweeter than watching her eyelids flutter as she drifts off to dreamland while nursing in my arms, but sometimes mama needs a break.
I will now knock on every piece of wooden furniture in the house (quietly) just in case I jinxed it by celebrating too soon.
