Sleep! Praise Report

Thank you all for praying and for your encouragement and support in trying to help Gabi fall asleep. I was able to speak to the head nurse at FANA and she gave us some insight into the situation. After talking to this nurse, she said that Gabi usually goes in her crib every night at 7pm and then takes however long she needs to fall asleep...usually 1-2 hours! She suggested we try the crib. (There must have been some miscommunication because we thought we were told that she would climb out of a crib.) We have done this for 2 nights now and it is working well! The first night she went right in the crib without being upset at all. She laughed and babbled for about a 1/2 hour and then fussed for a minute or two and went to sleep! Last night she cried for a minute or two and laid right down and went to sleep! Apparently she wasn't ready for the freedom of being in a bed yet and I was probably making it harder for her to fall asleep because she was loving all the attention. We are so thankful to have found something that will work for everyone (at least for the time being). In order to make sure we are still getting snuggle time with her we are laying down with her at nap time and holding her for a while just before bedtime. All of which seems to be going just fine.
