Catching ZZZ's

The nights are getting colder, and we've started dressing Eva in footed sleepers at night. It's a fun change since we've had her in onsies all summer, and it was so warm she never got to wear some of her cute newborn sleepers. I'm glad she'll have protection for her knees while learning to crawl this winter. I already got her an adorable outfit that says "Baby's first Christmas." She'll be 7 months old then, though I can hardly believe it. I am so looking forward to it!

As a newborn, Eva used to sleep in our bed with a sleep positioner that kept her on her back, and kept us from bumping her. It made it much easier to nurse her, especially when I was recovering. When she started fussing, all I had to do was pull her close to me, feed her, and we'd both go back to sleep. As she got bigger, it got more difficult for all three of us to fit comfortably into a queen size bed, so we started using the bassinet next to our bed. Now she's starting to outgrow the bassinet, so we'll probably have to start using her crib in the next room soon. I'm not looking forward to it because I know going back and forth at night will make it harder for me to go back to sleep, and she’s been waking up a lot lately from teething discomfort.
