The old shirt-in-the-crib trick, works like a charm!

I know that the only blogs I have are mostly about Aimee and sleep. But that is kind of what my life revolves around right now. It's just after 1 AM. Aimee went to sleep around 9, and I went to bed around 10. The whole time I was getting ready for bed I was in a state of urgency, just knowing that as soon as I lied down, she would wake up. She did not wake up, in fact, she is still asleep. I  am the one that woke up at midnight, and can't get back to sleep.

Maybe the Midnight Woogie will not come out tonight! (See a few posts below)  

Last night was an especially rough night with Aimee. She was up from 11:30 (ish) to 3 am. I was in tears (again!) after Greg took her. That morning I googled "baby won't sleep" and found a TON of information! If I wanted to drop $25, I too could learn the secret to get my baby to sleep through the night in just 3 days! 

Mostly everything I read made me worry about making sure we establish good sleeping habits for her, before it's too late. (Apparently that happens around 5 months) One thing I did read that I tried tonight, was to leave a shirt of mine in the crib with Aimee. Babies recognize scent, especially mama's. Aimee had been sleeping in my arms for 40 minutes or so when I put her in her crib. She woke up within minutes (of course) - but I popped her pacifier in her mouth and put the shirt that I was wearing by her face. She went right to sleep. Amazing! How sad that I can't enjoy this! *Sigh*
