Well, of course, regardless of my psychotic disinfecting, cloroxing, hand washing, and magic soaping, Makenna still got the swine flu. Mailey had a cold the weekend before, I got some weird virus on my throat, Tracen had a stomach virus, and then the school calls to come and get Mak! It was crazy! She has done really well, just one or two bad days, but the boredom at home and the keeping her away from all other breathing individuals has been the hardest part. We are still hoping no one else gets it, especially baby Mailey.
We are also re-doing I Peter 4:8 this week. Didn't do much on that last week...

This is becoming a gigantic problem at nap and bedtime. Don't let her content face fool you...when this woman rolls to her tummy, she is NOT happy! Naps are getting better and she will mostly stay on her back. But around 3 or 4 every morning she decides she needs to do this screaming/grunting/growling/rolling thing. You would think that hating to be on your tummy and getting your eye smashed by a pacifier and having an arm wedged up under you would learn ya, huh? Ohhhh no, m'am! This continues until about 6:30 when I feed her. Over and over and over again. Sleep five minutes, try and roll over, roll over and get super ticked off, mom rolls you back over, fall back asleep, and then let's start the fun all over again! I have tried to keep her swaddled as usual with summer pjs underneath, unswaddled with warmer pjs, swaddled with sleep positioner, unswaddled with sleep positioner, head facing each way, body facing each way, and nothing works. I'm completely beyond frightened of SIDS, and it makes it even harder when she doesn't even want to sleep on her tummy but keeps ending up there anyway. I've decided it was easier getting up every 3 hours like a few months ago than staying in and out of sleep constantly for hours. I have no idea how to fix this. She is so huge and super strong, too. It's not like I can just use my hand to flip her back. I pretty much have to get out of bed or sit up to get her repositioned. Any suggestions, people??

Here is just a random cute bath pic...she is already so long she takes up the entire tub! Sorry about the goose view...tried to cover it up:)

Wow wish I could help. I'd suggest swaddle with positioner. I'm no help, i'm up more now than when she was a newborn!!
Hope Mak gets better and praying Mailey doesn't get it.
Would you consider putting Mailey in bed with you?
Mak sounds good on phone, so far so good for all three!! xoxoxo
