No sleep...no smiling...no hope.

Was the new parent haze this tough the last time around? I feel like we spend every night trying something new and hoping that it'll be better than the night before. I don't remember being up for an hour at a time in the middle of the night with Lucy. Of course, she was a pacifier baby. Molly's not really a fan.
Last night we introduced Lucy to her "big-girl" bed. She was so excited at the prospect of sleeping in it! We put her to bed in her crib and when she woke up to come to bed with us, she got in her big girl bed next to our bed and slept very peacefully for another couple of hours. She was very proud of herself! I think the full transition to a big girl bed will be great once we're all ready for it. Right now the toddler bed is next to ours because Molly is just too little to be in bed with Lucy because Lucy isn't aware of the baby. We love cuddling with Lucy in the mornings, but it's just too dangerous with a newborn. So, we're just trying to do what works. We also wanted to get Lucy used to her toddler bed, so this is a good way to get her moving in that direction. At this rate we might be out of the crib before Molly needs it!
Today is Molly's baptism. I'm going to pretty much zombie right through it, but I'm really excited. We'll be having our friends and family up to Cook Chapel, where we first started attending Mass as friends, then a dating couple, then an engaged couple, and now parents of two darling girls. I can't believe we've gone from linked pinkies in the front row to sippies cups under the pews. Life is just too good sometimes.
