So... Zoey has had some trouble sleeping lately...she has been up every 2 hours throughout the night and then having trouble going back to sleep...and this just isnt working for Mom. Zoey is a "cuddle baby". She loves to be held, rocked, and cuddled 24/7. So while we were in Charlotte, Mike and I had to break down and buy a fancy swing for her (OUCH on the $$$$$$ part). But it was the only solution to this sleep problem we are having. We never bought a "fancy" swing with Addison b/c she never needed one. Addison was a baby who slept in her crib from day one, and was happy and content just laying on the floor or couch. Zoey...OPPOSITE.
But in case you are wondering, we bought the swing this past Monday, she has had 2 very GOOD nights in it. Lets just hope we can continue to have many more good nights. I hate to have her get in the habit of sleeping in the swing...but for right now, Mom's sleep is a little more important! She is still waking up throughout the night, but instead of every 2 hours, we have gone to sleeping for 3 - 3 1/2 hours at a time...which I will be happy with for now. The swing has been wonderful for the for the daytime and night time. So as of right now, it was worth every penny!
