The Landreth Household: Hurray for some sleep!

The last 4 months have been some trying months. Along with the excitement of Lily's arrival came some rough days in the Landreth house. Lily had colic for the first 5 weeks. It was rough seeing my little girl screaming for 3-4 hours straight every single day. Thankfully cutting dairy out of my diet cured that one. Adjusting to being a mom was definitely a challenge that I didn't expect. I was so excited to be a mom I thought it would be a smooth transition. Now I'm back in school for my final year of nursing school.....well not really my final year but its the last one before my RN anyway. Next year it will all be on-line....can't wait. I hate how much I'm away from Lily. I've struggled a lot with the guilt of always leaving her but I have to keep reminding myself that I'm doing this for the betterment of my family, I'm almost done and then I'll only have to work part time. Dustin has been amazing through this whole experience. He's done more than his fair share to keep me sane and get things done around the house. I couldn't as for a better husband or father to our little girl.
Lily is 16 weeks old already. She rolled over last week which startled her at first but then she smiled. She's sitting up with assistance and getting pretty good with her hands too. She's found my hair on a few occasions and I've stopped wearing dangly earings. She started eating cereal this week and I finally decided it was time to graduate her to her own room. I'm sleeping much better now that I don't hear every movement she makes during the night. She's also sleeping better now that she's eating cereal before bed. We were getting up 2 to 3, sometime 5 times a night. Now we are getting up once or twice and last night we didn't get up at all.....well she didn't but I woke up at least twice and went to check on her. I'm not sure if I know how to sleep through the night anymore :)
