re: dads last name?

Quoting - Kat & Emmie - [[BBC]]:“ haha yepp she's sleeping like a little angel right beside me   I'm on my laptop. and yesss she drools ... [snip!] ... to sleep right away. She NEVER cries in the middle of the night and never "wake up" just roots around to eat and back to sleep.”

yeah, that show annie is throughout the night too. i put her to bed in her crib, and she usually wakes up about 5 or 6 to eat. i hear a little cry that sounds like a "quck quack" and i grab her, and put my boob in her mouth and shes asleep within like 2 minutes. Then we get up at 7 most mornings to get her sisters ready for school, but she just sleeps in the car seat. till lunch time. shes a lazy bones.


aww she does the cutest thing now. if i make a kissing sound, she grabs my face and smushes her mouth up to mine..its SO CUTE!

Awwwwe I can't wait for that! She's almost 4 months hey?
Emmie's been smiling like crazy but when she first started she would just smile a lot in the morning or smile when she hadn't seen grandpa (her fave besides me ) for a while. but now she smiles all the time whenever I play around with her. I'll do things like pinch her cheeks or slap her feet on my cheeks(weird but you know what I mean! haha) while making funny noises and she smiles HUGE! I looove it!    
Do you ever co-sleep? Do you just put her to bed in her crib and bring her to bed with you once she wakes up to eat?
Emmie's a lazy bum too! She wakes up at around 11 or 12 for like 45 mins or an hour and then passes out again until 2 or 3. Then she just has a few more short naps during the day.

yeah, she'll be 4 months on the 6th. woohoo! baby smiles melt my heart. theyre so beautiful. i love it when someone catches annies attention and shell look at them out of the corner of her eye and smile at them and squeel. its so cute. and yeah, i was co sleeping al the time, but lately shes been rolling ALL the time, no matter what, or else i wake up to her crying because she got into a position she cant get out of. when her dad is working nights i sleep with her all night long, because theres lots of room, but when theres both of us...she just takes up all the room  and he doesnt sleep well because hes worried about her.

hahah awwe how's she liking her crib? Emmie LOVES hers, I play her mobile and she gets the hugest smiles. Not a big fan of sleeping in it though. And I'm okay with that! haha we always sleep the whole night together. I couldn't have it any other way..it's just me and her lol.
The best is when I'm bf and I look down at her and she's sucking away but staring at me...then I'll start talking to her and she's stop sucking and smile with my boob still in her mouth and then go right back to sucking. looove it

boobie smiles are the best. i LOVE it. it makes me go crazy  thats the best reward (besides it being good for them) awww...now im missing miss annie bananie. lol. shes not too fond of her crib if shes not swaddled. ive never known a 4 month old who liked to br swaddled still. but its a must when shes worked u0p. so our routine is cereal/bath/jammas/boob and swaddle and crib with music, an d she usaully goes..but some nights its just to bed with us.

Emmie's not exactly on a routine but I thnk she's slowly making one but it'll probably change.
Right now she wakes up around 11 or noon. Is up for an hour or so eats falls asleep for another 2 hours or so then is up and has around 3-5 little naps throughout the day and goes down for the night anywhere between 11pm and 1am. then wakes up 2-3 times at night to eat and wake up for the day again around 11 or 12 unless I have to go somewhere earlier. Oh, and she eats every 3-4 hours for about 5-20 mins. And on bath nights she gets it at 8:30 has a nap after wakes up for a bit and then goes down for the night usually.
Does that sound okay to you?
Should she be going to bed earlier cause usually it's not until around midnight or later. It doesn't really matter to me cause I'm a night owl obviously and I know she's getting enough sleep ...

if it works for you two, then its perfect   babies make their own schedual. sometimes you have to tweak it to fit your lifestyl though. we go to bed early so we can be up early, otherwise she would be up late too.

you are not crazy...im doing the same exact thing for the same reasons...my baby will have my last name

my situation exactly, almost. The way i see it, i don't want any legal sort of connection to the father who didn't really want it in the first place and has made me feel guilty for making the decision to keep her. Besides, she's a girl and won't carry on his name anyways so he can't be all that mad.

He's just a sperm donor, she's not his baby.

Thats the way I see it too. But I think medicaid goes after the father for child support even if I dont. And it would be a huge help if I did get child support from him. I just dont want the legal ties to him. He is crazy though and I never know what he's going to do. And right now, I dont know what the hell im going to do. Just trying to take it a day at a time. I still have 6 months to figure it all out.
