I’m not going to lie — it’s been a rough week in GraceyLand. You know it’s getting tough when you say to your husband, “Just hold her here in the bathtub for five minutes until I finish writing these photo captions!”
It was the only thing that would calm her — she just loves soaking in the warm water. Call it colic, call it gas, call it the fourth trimester … whatever it is, it has to pass soon, right?
Of course, there are good moments too, where I’ll prop her up on our bed while I fold laundry and she smiles and coos at … (not me) … the ceiling fan! Hey, whatever works.
But then there are times when she screams for no apparent reason and oh my goodness, it breaks. my. HEART.
And let’s talk about nap time. Some days, she’ll nap for two hours. Other days, she’ll nap for two minutes with one eye open. When I get her to nap in her crib for a substantial amount of time, it’s honestly a greater sense of accomplishment for me than my college degree. (Don’t judge, I’m freaking tired.)
So today, I’ll show you a photo of her napping. I’d like to forever remember how proud I was of getting her to nap outside of my arms. In all actuality, it probably had nothing to do with me — she’s just becoming a bit more comfortable in this big, scary world. 😉
