Hush, little baby


I began putting Mattie in her crib..in her room..on Thursday for her nap. Most of you know when I have done this in the past..she will squeeze one out for me..and she knows that I am not going to let her sit in it..I am going to come in and change her. Well today..she squeezed one out for me twice..two different times. Two diaper changes during one nap.


Tonight..I put her to bed..in her crib..in her room at 11:37pm. (I know that is late..but since the day we brought her home from the hospital she has been on Rich's schedule..she waits for him to come home) She cried from 11:37pm - 12:27am (during this time she is yelling: mama, oh my baby, hello) then fell asleep..so I go check on her..to see if she still has her baby and her blanket. The smell of poop is lingering in her room. She pooped again. I had to wake her at 12:30am to change her diaper. So she started crying again. But I didn't talk to her..I just shhh-ed her and left her room. It is now 12:40am..and it is quiet..no crying. Poor baby. I should have done this sooner. Why do I feel so terrible for doing the right thing?
{Update}: Mattie slept until 11:35am this morning. She was very happy when she woke up..and she almost got her twelve hours in!
