Today's Paci - It's Soooo Good

Aside from me getting little sleep (Baby James is currently breeched and kicking my intestines), Sophia has finally agreed to accept night time sleeping without her paci. It has been a blessing. It still is not as pleasant as with the paci though. Life with a paci was beautiful - you read her a story, give her Lambie, and paci, lay her down and within 2 minutes, silence. Now we get tears or talking for 5-10 minutes and then silence. But, she does sleep through the night. Napping is a whole other story, and of course staying at Mom and Dad's over the weekend did not help. We were in a nice, dark, quiet bedroom (if you don't count the boys yelling and playing right out side the door) but the room was only about 60 degrees during the day and about 55 at night. Poor little Sophia was a frozen popsicle. We had to bring her to bed with us to warm her up and nap time was in bed with us as well. I will say that it was precious when I went in to check on her and Jim and she is alseep on his chest. I decided to take a nap with them it looked so inviting. She slept three hours like that - it was ADORABLE to watch her sleep. But, now we are at home and do not have the cold to deal with. As I am typing this, I am watching the video monitor and she is crying into her Lambie, periodically standing up to look around the room. She is clearly tired. The Lambie is so wet from her tears I think it is going to mildew. I feel bad for her. Where's that Paci - Let's give it to her!! Oaky, I won't but I really wish that I could - for my headache and the one she surely has. She has been crying for about 25 minutes. I am going in every 10-15 minutes to pat her back, SHH her, and tell her it's Nap Time (Golden Time for parents). This advise comes via our pediatrician and the "Good Night Sleep Tight" lady. I just went in again and she is NOT, NOT happy. Poor baby. I want her to believe me when I say "Naps are good. When you are older, you will be asking for naps." I ask for one everyday. Tonight it will be a full week without the paci. We have had half the days with only one nap and half the days with two naps. I am praying for continued two naps but I think I would trade it in for one long nap that did not involve any crying. Especially when Baby James comes. I will have to get ear plugs if two kids are crying non-stop at nap/bedtime. Either that or some really good medication. :)
