Last night was the third night of a fairly good night -- even though it took a while for her to get calmed down, she slept in 3-hour increments for the most part. If we can get this 10pm fussiness managed, I think we'll be doing great! We've narrowed it down to gas and/or just general fussiness.
So today is Day #4 of Mommy being off of all dairy. It's an experiment to see if it's actually going to affect her little system and make the gas better, or whether the gas is just a normal amount. It's really not that much, but it bothers her SO much -- I think it hurts her little bottom when it finally works its way out more than it bothers her little gut.
Other milestones for Mommy, Daddy & Emma:
* Today is Day #9 of exclusively cloth diapering! We're SO happy to be away from the disposables at night, and I think Emma is happier too.
* We're moving up to the next size prefolds! Her newborn ones are finally just WAY too small and tight, so even though they're supposed to fit up to 10 pounds (and she's not quite there), we're moving up to the next size. I can tell it was a good thing that we changed detergent because you can definitely feel the softness difference between the old prefolds (they feel crunchy) and the new prefolds (very soft). Hopefully she enjoys that too.
* We discovered our reflection! I ordered a crib mirror from Babies R Us and we found a way to put it in her pack-n-play for diaper changes. She'll look at herself and self-soothe while we change her, or fix supper, or eat, or whatever. It doesn't last a long time, but long enough.
While she's napping, Mommy is going to run up and take a much-needed shower. Emma had a very large, mucousy spit-up this morning and Mommy's chest smells like baby vomit. Not as nice of a smell as clean baby, LOL. :)
