Night Fourteen

Can't beleive it have been 2 weeks of this sleep craziness already.
Isabella had a hard time falling asleep last night. I'm not sure if I need to be tweaking our nightly routine cause the past few nights, she starts to cry during the routine as she now knows when it is bedtime.
It took her almost 2 hours to fall asleep again but once she was asleep (she fell asleep at 10:15pm) she slept till 5:30am! I was able to go in, feed her and put her back down and she slept until 9:30am!
Another plus from last night is that she likes to sleep in her baby papasan chair. I don't turn the vibrate on unless she is really cranky but I think she just likes to sleep propped up. I find if I lay her down, she is more fussy and sleeps less. Not sure if it is the fact that she is all cozy when she is in the chair and when she is laying down, it feels too big for her. But she is starting to grow out of the chair now and I've been trying to figure out what to do about this. So last night, I thought of a brilliant idea! I put the nursing pillow in the crib and laid her in it propped up. She didn't even wake! I was so happy. Then it came to me afterwards that I used to do that for Alexis for years!
I guess it is true that even the hardest moments being a mommy where you don't know what to do or how you will get through will soon become faded memories in the past.
As one of my favorite sayings goes "this to shall pass"
I'm hoping this is one of those moments....
