Eight Golden Hours

I don't think I will ever figure out this whole baby schedule thing.  Meredith seems to change her mind on her sleeping schedule all the time.  However, last night it was a good change.  She slept through the night...the entire night!!  We put her down at 7:30, which is half an hour earlier than her normal bedtime.  But she seemed really tired so we put her down early.  I assumed that because we had put her down earlier than normal, she would wake up even earlier in the morning.  However, at 6:00 I awoke with a start.  The baby hadn't woken up yet!  I panicked that something was wrong and quick went into her room to check on her.  I was so relived when I saw she was sleeping peacefully still.  I went back to bed and didn't wake up until I heard the baby crying at 7:30.  She slept for 12 hours straight!  I could not believe it!  It was so great because it allowed me to get 8 straight hours of sleep last night.  That hasn't happened since before she was born, so I was ecstatic to be so well rested:)  I know that she won't sleep this well every night from now on, but it does give me hope that some time in the future she will!  Now if we could just figure out this whole napping during the day thing we'll be all set!

    Yay! I remember doing that same panic thing, too! Sleep is incredible, especially when you're totally sleep deprived. Once you start to get some good rest, you'll want some more. Hopefully, Meredith is a quick learner and will understand how good sleep is!

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
