I'm pretty laid-back and go with the flow. I really think calm parents have calm babies so I try not to get too worked up over anything. :) Love the new pics of Coop. He's a doll!Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11553969552982965734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930686168263159492.post-49452409902899086662012-01-06T14:15:35.500-06:002012-01-06T14:15:35.500-06:00I've co-slept with all of my kids. As a matte...I've co-slept with all of my kids. As a matter of fact, the ONLY way Gracie would sleep (she had horrible reflux) was for me to lay on my side and I would lay her across me with her feet down touching my belly and her head up and laying on my side. I literally slept on either side for months until she outgrew. I even took a nap with each of my children while we were still in the hospital.<br /><br />We've also made sure to vaccuum, play music, keep lights/tv on when our kids were sleeping at infants. I never wanted to be one of those "sssshhhhhh the baby is sleeping" parents. <br /><br />Trust your instincts. I am a huge believer in you will know what is right for your child. Your doing a great job!April Westerholdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01450415992718748443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930686168263159492.post-58775442608632227832012-01-06T10:33:08.891-06:002012-01-06T10:33:08.891-06:00He is beyond adorable.

You two sure made a beautiful baby! :)<br /><br />I know there are some things regarding parenting that we can say we will or won't do without a doubt, and other things are very gray area things and you couldn't have said it any better than what you said about not being able to know how you'll handle it until you're confronted with it. <br /><br />I've told a lot of people that my baby will adjust to our lives, things we do. And they tell me I'm wrong, my life will revolve around his schedule. While I see some points are important like his nap time and such, I'd never try to put him in a bind to make my plans work. But as for everything else? He'll fit into our lives and we'll make the adjustments where necessary.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15040611657800781471noreply@blogger.com
