My baby is 4 months old now!!! I just doesn’t seem like she should be that “old” already; on the other hand, it seems like she has always been a part of us. She’s down for the night now – she is sleeping through the night more and more, but the cost is that she likes to be up until 11:00 or so before she will settle down. She’s so funny the way she fights sleep – I joke with Dayna all the time about how if she only knew how tired she would be as an adult, she would want to sleep all the time! But not our Sami – she doesn’t want to miss a thing.

Speaking of her sleeping, I’m embarrassed at how often I still go in and check on her while she’s sleeping, to make sure she’s still breathing. All the talk about SIDS really scares me, even though we do everything “right” – put her to sleep on her back, no pillows or toys or blankets in the crib, make sure she doesn’t get overheated while she’s sleeping, etc. But someone in Craig’s ex-wife’s family had a baby die of SIDS, and they did everything right, too; it can happen to anybody. I just can’t stand the thought of anything bad happening to her.

Well, I think that’s enough for now – since she’s asleep, I better take the opportunity to get some shut-eye, too. I’ve learned to live on a lot less sleep than I would’ve ever believed was possible, but still! And who knows, maybe I’ll actually have the energy to kiss my husband good night before I pass out…;-)
