I love hearing other mothers' gushing over their little ones.<br /><br />I'm interested in the Babywise book... I'm a very routine-oriented person myself...I think I may check it out.<br /><br />Glad to hear you guys are doing so well!Jessihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16446819966761922667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037483218058799426.post-88394098490166761572010-07-01T08:39:59.749-04:002010-07-01T08:39:59.749-04:00Jolie & Kim, Babywise is a book series written...Jolie & Kim, Babywise is a book series written by the Ezzos who are super controversial. You can google Ezzo or Babywise and find a lot of trash talk. I read the book and used the principles, which is basically a routine for baby (eat, awake time, naps throughout the day) which leads to quicker sleeping through the night. I think people don't like it because it involves some crying it out early and teaching your baby to fall asleep on their own (with no rocking or pacifier). For me, it's been great. Jolie goes down on her own; I put her in her crib wide awake and she just goes to sleep.<br /><br />Kristen, exciting news! I can't wait to see pictures of your little daughter...we'll have to have a mommy date :) And honestly, motherhood only goes UP and UP; you can do it!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09378020924320472998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037483218058799426.post-40231837394479674162010-06-30T22:36:08.883-04:002010-06-30T22:36:08.883-04:00Great post!

So often new parents make it look easy and completely fulfilling from day one, and that's really hard to aspire to! Hearing honest, real experiences makes my expectations for those first few months feel much more manageable- I know we can't be perfect, but we can try our best!Kristennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037483218058799426.post-84848847229966594842010-06-29T22:07:27.227-04:002010-06-29T22:07:27.227-04:00I highly recommend a website that I sometimes blog...I highly recommend a website that I sometimes blogstalk: http://napmom.blogspot.com/<br /><br />She is the wife of someone I went to high school with, and I find her to be refreshingly down to earth. Also, she is amazing at finding clever and interesting activities for her kids (and she has an interesting way of writing). She recently had a baby, and she was also feeling a bit blue after... I hear it's normal, Drea, so don't worry! <br /><br />I wish you the best and I'm so glad you're feeling better. I had never heard of Babywise until your post, and now I'll be reading about it.

What you we...What is Babywise? I'm interested.<br /><br />What you went through is so normal. I should no, since I obsessively read mom blogs like it's my job (I don't get it either, don't worry.) Have you ever read dooce.com or sundrymounring.com? They both talk about how difficult their first children were and the ups and downs of motherhood. Their honesty is refreshing and it made me realize that it's completely normal for you to feel.... I don't know. confused? stressed? angry? freaking out? with your children as infants. <br /><br />You two seem like great parents! And Drew is right. It only goes up from here.<br /><br />Well, until they're teenagers. Then, good luck. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
