A routine?

Could it be that my baby is on some kind of a schedule? it just dawned on me that the past few days she has been going to sleep at 10:30-11am for an hour. We're still working on her night time sleep, she was kept up longer than normal last night so when I tried to put her to bed, she fought it with all her might. It was too hard trying to nurse a squirmy baby in a rocking chair so I brought her into my bed. We still co-sleep with her if she's acting really fussy but for the most part, she does ok in her crib. Since she's my first, I don't have any other comparison so it's hard for me to think if what she does is normal or abnormal, it's just our life. People tell me that she should be sleeping through the night and I have friends with babies that do but it seems to me that those that have babies that sleep through the night, most of them let their little ones cry it out. I don't think there is anything wrong with crying it out after you know for sure that baby is absolutely ok and safe. I have tried to do it but I just can't seem to do it more than 20 minutes so why bother in the first place. Elle will get up from her crib and hold onto the bar and cry at the top of her lungs, forevah!!! Her cries echo throughout our little old house and it breaks my heart everytime. So that's our norm, waking up 3-4 times a night, sometime every hour all night. Good thing I can function very well with just a few hours of sleep.

But back to the point of this blog. I am really happy at the thought of a routine, very happy. I can't really get much done in that time but at least it gives me time to sit here or sleep and then I can plan outings accordingly:) This could be a whole different kind of norm for me and it's a welcomed one.
