I can't believe you only have a few more we...Wow!! I can't believe you only have a few more weeks before number 2!! How exciting!! I'm also thrilled to hear that you are going with a midwife. Will you birth at her birthing center or are you going to try to have the little one at home? Either way, I hope it's very relaxing for you!! I truly enjoyed the quiet and calm that comes from the birthing center and hope that I will be even more relaxed when we have the next one at home. I am so thankful to hear the babe turned!!! Now if it would only learn how to roll over! I do pray so!!<BR/><BR/>Reece is such an ADORABLE little girl! Those beautiful eyes make me smile every time I see her! Do you mind if I make a suggestion? - Gracie and Gloria "Lala" share a bedroom. As I was preparing for Lala's arrival I went ahead and trained Gracie to sleep in her big girl bed like you are doing for Reece. Since my girls share a bedroom Gracie's new mattress was right next to her old crib. I'm not sure if it helped Gracie to have her new mattress in the same room as her old crib, but I wonder if it helped her transition. So my suggestion would be to possibly try putting Reece's big girl bed in her old room. And then transition in one or two weeks to the big girl bed in the new room. Not sure if this will work or if you've even tried this already, but I hope it can be of help.<BR/><BR/>Above all else, you are going to do just fine...and so are your babes!! I really am so happy for y'all and am glad to hear of how God is moving in y'alls lives!<BR/><BR/>Blessings on you and yours!<BR/><BR/>P.S. We still have the paci issue, too. If you figure that one out let me know!!

It may turn out that when she sees her little sibling that she'll want to take on a Big Sister role and give up the paci and crib on her own. Who knows, but you guys are doing a great job. I think all parents struggle with one thing or another.<BR/><BR/>I can't believe the baby is almost here already.

I mean you never hear someone not getting a job because they have a bad paci habit or that they can't catch a husband because they still sleep in their crib. :) It is just a season of life that will change when you all are ready. She is just going to love that baby!Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10163045467433689697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530545362563017024.post-79845852933792113512008-10-02T22:26:00.000-07:002008-10-02T22:26:00.000-07:00Do NOT worry about it! Natalie slept in a pack n ...Do NOT worry about it! Natalie slept in a pack n play until she was about 2 1/2. She was probably ready to move into a big girl bed at around 2, but then we were going to the States to have Claire and I did not want to have so much transition for her, poor kid. So it was about a month after we came back from having Claire and she just said one day "I want to sleep in my big girl bed!" We had her bed set up in her room along with the pack n play just so she could get used it...<BR/><BR/>And about the pacifier... Natalie is still using hers. With all the transition, I figured it wasn't worth it to make a big deal about the pacifier. So now she uses it only at bedtime or naptime, or if she is in her bed. Which means that Natalie takes a lot of "pretend naps" during the day, just so she can snuggle up in bed and have her pacifier! Oh well! At least we're not fighting about it - she knows she's only allowed to have it in her bed!<BR/><BR/>You are NOT terible parents! You will know when she is ready to move into a big girl bed - there's no hurry! And about the pacifier - you know, she won't be in kindergarten with it! I'm not one to give advice since my almost-3-year-old is still using one, but I would say just use baby steps to cut down her use. If she is already only using it at bedtime, I would say don't fight her on it, just let her use it as long as she needs to. Your sleep is not something you want to mess with, especialy with a baby coming!!!Sarah DeSalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14648711711757596328noreply@blogger.com
