Bed Time

This week has flown by and I can't believe October is 1/2 over! Swimming is still going well although I am not sure who is more tired afterwards Annabelle or myself but she loves it and it is fun to watch her splash around.
Our new adventure this week is to try and stop rocking Annabelle to sleep every night. I love spending that time with her at night but realistically in a few months it will be nice if she can go to bed on her own most of the time. It has only been a few nights but it seems to be going well. It is a bonus that she doesn't sleep during the day so she is ready for bed at night. Our new routine is to read a book and rock while she has a drink of milk. Once the book is done and she is pretty relaxed I put her in her crib. Knock on wood she has been cooperating with me. Then I will rub her back until she falls asleep. It takes quite a bit longer than just rocking her but I keep telling myself it will be worth it. I am hoping that eventually once we read a book I can put her in her crib and she will know how to put herself to sleep. I guess time will tell...she will have to learn it sometime.
Once again we are spending a quite weekend at home and I think we all need it. It is nice to relax and get a few things done around the house before the busy week starts again.
Things with Baby #2 still seem to be going well. It seems like baby moves all the time - it is kind of fun :) I can tell a difference in how fast I get tired with this one compared to with Annabelle. It was definitely easier when I didn't have a 14 month old to case/carry around, but it still isn't bad. It is hard to believe that we now have just under 3 months left until we will be a family of 4.
