Typical Day at the Wayland House

So when you take your baby home from the hospital, they send you home with one of these pacifiers that are more inovative I guess if you want to call it that. They are suppose to keep the babies from having nipple confusion. So we registered for them, and have 5 of them floating around the house. That's pretty much all they are good for because he doesn't like them. He spits them out and they never seem to sooth him. So last week I went to Target and bought the more traditional type of pacifier. He loves them. Although the picture below has the pacifier out of his mouth, he actually will go to sleep with them and it helps sooth him back to sleep when he wakes up in the middle of the night. Very important for the sleep deprived mommy and daddy!

My son the traditionalist.

New style of pacifier that are suppose to keep babies from having nipple confusion.

Clark sleeping away in the swing. :)

Reiner sleeping on the couch. One day I wanted to take a nap, so I told him he had to share the couch with me. I got growled at!

Cats getting in time on the bed because they are locked out at night so we don't have to worry about them and Clark in the bassinet.

So now I ask myself, why am I awake? Well, it's lunch time and I'm hungry. I do take naps, but I find house hold chorse to be a distraction. Hence why I am blogging and eating and not sleeping. I did take a 2 hour nap yesterday because Clark didn't go to sleep until 3 that morning and I've been sick. I stayed awake with him until 1 then Clint took over so I could sleep. It was wonderful to sleep from 1 until 5:30! All this lack of sleep isn't helping me get over thsi stupid cold. I finally went to the doctor after a week and a half of suffering and she said I have a sinus infection and a pounding head ache!

Well I'm off to maybe take a nap like everyone else in the house!

Kiera hated those pacifiers from the hospital..she LOVES the regular ones from Target. They are huge help in the middle of the night:) Sorry to hear you're sick..hope you get better soon. Clark is such a cutie! Makes me sad I didn't get to meet him before I left.

Those pacifiers never worked for either of my boys! I already bought my soon to be princess regular pink gerber ones from Target. I am not even going to try with the other one the hopital gives. By the time I had Kyle, I brought my own pacifier to the hospital with me. I hink the nipple confusion is a hoax.. ..if the kids hungary they will eat!
