Like all new things I'm sure I will blog non stop and then....nothing. Emma has been a great sleeper lately! She has always had long stretches, but she is sleeping consistently from 8:30 or 9:00pm to 7:00am! I love it, love it, love it! Nighttime is now peaceful and not something to dread. While I love this schedule, I think JD is disappointed she is already asleep when he gets home. I feel so bad for him. He goes and goes all day long. First work, and then school. He leaves when Emma is asleep and most nights comes home when she is already down for the night. Sometimes a whole day can pass without him seeing her awake! He tells me she changes every time he sees her and he just wants to hold her even if she is asleep. He is such a great husband and dad! I don't deserve a man as great as he is. He changes diapers, rocks her to sleep, they watch suns games together, he deals with both of our whining, does the dishes, serenades Emma with the guitar, and constantly tries to take the baby to give me a break. I don't think any other man would be as good to me or as good for me as he is. Anyone married to a Tate boy knows they are almost infuriatingly (is that even a word) patient and even tempered, but that is just what this little family needs!
On to something different...I am having trouble with something. When Emma first came home from the hospital we had her sleep in a miniature bed thing between JD and me. She graduated from that and we moved her to her bassinet (still in our room). Even though she was just two feet from the bed I still had a hard time adjusting because I could not hear her constant breathing at night and know she was okay. It was hard for me to sleep well with the new arrangements. I have now...finally...come to terms that Emma needs to sleep in her crib since she is sleeping soundly through the night. The problem is, her room is all the way across the house and I don't know how well I will deal with that! I'm sure she will be just fine, but I'm too attached to having my little baby so close! I feel like such a crazy obsessive mother! What's a girl to do?

Ok, first off let me say how excited I am you have a blog. I love the picture of Emma you posted. She is sooo cute and getting so big. We miss you guys!! I am so glad she is such a good sleeper for you guys. It helps so much to get a good nights sleep (although Jack is reverting back to the new born stage these days and waking up). Anyways as sad as it has been for me to put them in their own beds it really helps. We have a monitor in Jacks room and it helps give me piece of mind at night. I can hear anything going on in there! Good luck with the transition!! Have a good day you guys!!
