Dmom, it is so good to have you back. You just bring life to our little group. I'm sorry S had to travel on the holidays. It is no fun at all. I had the fortune of holding off thanksgiving and Christmas this year and it was a whole different world. I worked NYE in the morning and since I had to get up and face the music again on NYday I went to bed around 10:30 on NYE. Hubby was watching some anime thing on YouTube after I emerged from C's room when I finally got her in the crib. So I said screw it. I'm going to bed. How is S adjusting to life in Colorado? Are you getting lots of snow? Are you feeling ok? Are you happy about your little bean yet? How exciting 
I sometimes get the hankering for another baby. Especially after seeing the LO I saw last night on the plane. She was sooooo tiny. It was really odd. A man was traveling alone with a baby that couldn't have been more than 7 lbs. I would venture to say less. She was so little. It was so odd that momma wasn't there. I wanted to ask what was going on, but the man made me feel a bit uncomfortable. I tried helping him with his bags and such. He wa holding her with just one arm carrying all his bags inboard. I was worried he would drop her. It was so weird. My hubby would have fainted dead away if he had to travel with C by himself at that early age. I wonder if the momma is okay or if she died in childbirth or who knows what. It made me sad, but she was very calm for him. Slept a whole bunch. I didn't like the way he bottle fed her. Maybe it seemed odd to me since I BF C. But he was holding her by the bottom of the back of her head and cradling her skull and had the bottle shoved in there. She had to drink or drown. Is that how it's done? I felt horrible for her.
Anyhow, I'm still missing C. I got to skype a little with her and hubby today. She took a 1:30 nap in the morning which is unheard of. It's normally not a minute past 45 minutes. The afternoon nap is usually the long one. She was sleeping on my hubby in the glider. MIL put her in the crib yesterday and woke her up so she didn't get but 5 minutes yesterday in the morning.
What do you all think? I am so paranoid about her missing naps. It upsets me so much to know that she is tired. We don't do cry it out. I was wondering when she would transition to one nap, Indy. She still acts like she needs her 2 naps when I'm at home. She gets sleepy around 10:30-11. And takes her 45 minute nap very easily usually. Then she needs another nap around 3:30-4. It's hard to get her to sleep then though. I usually have to resort to wrapping her or using a carrier. But then she's out in 5 minutes and lately has been sleeping for 2 hours. Her bed time is getting later and later though. This is why I wish I could transition her to one big nap a day. How that is done I have no clue. My friend in Dallas runs an errand every morning and her DD takes a cat nap in her car seat and then she does a long nap in the afternoon. But she did a modified cry it out and can get her DD to nap in her crib. I think if she was exhausted enough I could get C to sleep and into the crib. That's what I am holding out hope for anyhow.
Garnet, holidays are tough and dealing with a loss just compounds that. I think getting out of town was an excellent idea.
Indi, hooray for sleep!
