This morning I put Nadia in the Snugli and "we" put the ornaments and bows on the tree. Near the end I called Paul down to come join us so we could do it as a family for a little bit. My energy level is higher in the morning so I enjoyed it more this morning than I would have this evening. I am glad Paul really wanted to get a tree. If it was up to me, we wouldn't have gotten one this year. Usually we get our tree the day after Thanksgiving and decorate it the same day or the next day at the latest. This was the longest our tree sat in the living room before being decorated, and Thanksgiving was even on the late side this year. Today I finished my Christmas and birthday shopping and also finished wrapping all the gifts that are in the house (some are en route)! There are several bdays in Dec/Jan/Feb so I shop for those gifts at the same time as when I do my Christmas shopping. I did some online and then went to Walmart for a few of the last items.
Last night I nursed her a little earlier than I'd like to, but she had already cried an hour. The good news was that when I put her back down at midnight, she slept until 6:30am which was awesome! I let her get up then since she did so well at sleeping 6 1/2 hours straight. One of the nice things of her taking longer naps are that now I can go to the store and come back before she wakes up from her nap (like when I went to Walmart today). Of course that's only helpful when Paul is home. :-)Sometimes what interferes with her sleep (at night or during naps) is that she rolls over. Although she liked sleeping on her belly in the NICU, she doesn't like it any more (which is good due to the increased risk of SIDS if she's asleep on her belly). Oh and speaking of rolling over, Paul finally witnessed her performing that feat, LOL.My last update for the day will be that according to my scale - with clothes on (and a dry diaper), Nadia now weighs 15 lbs! She's a growing girl!!! Sometimes I wish she wouldn't grow up quite so fast.
