update

We are doing great! The first 3 weeks we were home were a challenge. Funny, we got to the 6 week mark of having Olivia and things got better. I had heard about the 6 weeks for them to get adjusted and more secure with their new family..... WOW, were they right.

She is sleeping all alone in her bedroom. YEA! I had been sleeping in a twin bed in Olivia's room. I moved out the Wednesday before Easter. For the first 4 days she would wake up in the middle of the night and I would end up back in her room. She sometimes still wakes up in the middle of the night but I just go in there, lie her back down, leave and she is ok.

Plus I started putting Olivia to sleep awake whether it is naptime or nighttime. She might yell (not cry) for a bit. Her yell is short and actually funny. It is like she is saying "hey, I am in her, just want to let you know". Sometimes I check on her or I yell back to her that she is " ok, I love you, and lay down". Anyway, it has worked.

I can't tell you how a well rested mommy makes for a happy mommy. YEA!
