23 Weeks 6 Days

I believe we've successfully moved Christopher from his bassinet to his crib! He's been sleeping ALL NIGHT LONG for the past few nights now! Last night was the FIRST night since before he was born that I, too, slept straight through! Yippee!!! Before, even if he slept all night long, I would wake up automatically. Pretty much any little noise from the monitor would wake me. I must've been exhausted last night since I didn't wake once. I'm sure Christopher stirred some as he doesn't stay in one place all night long.

We're finding that Christopher's a stomach sleeper. As soon as I lay him down, he immediately rolls over and stays on his stomach the entire night. He's so cute when he wakes up in the morning! Shad was up getting ready for work this morning, so I had him go get Christopher and bring him to me to eat. He had flipped over onto his back and was just laying there talking away. He must've been having a conversation with the Blue Jean Teddy mobile that I have attached to his crib. LOL!

He's also doing great at napping in his crib instead of his swing. He always has to CIO, though. It's usually not longer than 10-15 minutes, thankfully. I just wish he could go to sleep during the day without crying. He does fine when he goes to bed.

He's getting better with the cereal. I think he's getting the hang of things. He goes for his 6 month checkup on June 19. We'll probably start vegetables then. Can you believe he's going to be 6 months old soon??!! Time sure is flying by fast!

Job Update: I found out this past Friday that the 2 part-time positions at Bank of America that I interviewed for were filled internally. I kind of feel like they wasted my time and hopes by interviewing me. I didn't have much of a chance against someone who's already employed there. I'm now looking for something else. It's almost a waste, though, to work part-time when having to pay for childcare. Most of my paycheck will be going to a daycare/childcare provider! I'm actually looking forward somewhat to getting out of the house for a few hours each day, but I dread handing Christopher over to someone that I don't know. If I'm only gone for a few hours, I don't think I'll miss much, but I'm so leary of trusting some stranger with my child! Ugh! Parenthood is so stressful!
