Holy crap. I woke up an hour ago and realized that it was 7:00am...and then I realized that Baby Rowan hadn't woken up all night! That's right, this little nugget slept through the night for the first time!
Lucky for us, Niamh was a great sleeper and started sleeping twelve hours a night at 7 weeks old. When I got pregnant with Ro, everyone gave me a knowing look and insisted that I was going to have a much more challenging baby this time around.
Maybe it's me being naive, or maybe it's my years working at lululemon athletica where the company culture emphasizes creating a vision for your life and
setting goals:
Your vision:
- provides focus
- helps you discover your personal path
Your goals:
- inspire you to do the work
- excite and even scare you
- are specific, measurable and written in the present tense
When you're a new mom, your mind is muddled with questions, worries, appointments, lack of sleep, etc. Creating a vision and goal for yourself and your little one keeps you moving forward in a positive way rather than just focusing on keeping your head above water. I really believe that manifesting positive thoughts of a good sleeper and refusing to believe that my baby's sleep depended on the arbitrary whims of the Universe helped me keep my sanity through those first few rough weeks with each babe.
Good luck to you!
