My son suffered from them throughout his toddler years. Air travel can also make them even worse. <BR/>Congrats on your new baby and take care!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170368.post-10683200639972604032008-07-05T13:26:00.000-04:002008-07-05T13:26:00.000-04:00The routine will come with time.

You are doing the right thing not to push it. <BR/>Don't feel alone about being nervous; when my husband went back to work after we got home I felt panic set in. He worked 12 hr days at the time and commuted two hours. Us two girls found our rythym and then Daddy got onto a better shift a few months later (8 hr days) and then we both had to adjust again--who was this intruder on our routine! lol <BR/>We had no family in our area (closest was a 4 hr plane ride) at that time (for the first year and a half) so that added to my performance anxiety!<BR/><BR/>It will come.

Eliza sleeps on the wall side and I sleep on the other side so she can't fall out. My bed is high too and we have always been fine. Good luck!<BR/><BR/>TiffanyEliza2006https://www.blogger.com/profile/14933386739878067111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170368.post-32243333238066421012008-07-05T08:43:00.000-04:002008-07-05T08:43:00.000-04:00I thank you so much for your honesty.

People tell me that it all comes naturally?! <BR/>I'd love to add you all to my sidebar so I can continue to follow along! I'd also love to know if you have any suggestions about the packing!<BR/>Thanks,<BR/>MichelleJohn & Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191455427687476083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170368.post-22113311709245709022008-07-05T08:42:00.000-04:002008-07-05T08:42:00.000-04:00Lisa...Try to enjoy this time with Emme.

I was in a state of awe at becoming a mom & I so remember counting time with Lindsi.....we made it it one day on our own...we made it pne week on our own ......(of course that was the point she ended up in the hospital & sent me reeling backwards, but the upside was at that point I finally FELT like her mom & that I was in charge & the only one completely responsible for her).<BR/>Good luck.

It was different for us (and easier I know) because Maƫlle was younger and and I guess had less way to express her wills. <BR/>But the first week was hectic too. As long as you both get the sleep, the food you need, don't bother about the rest. <BR/>I would have been alone with her when home I would have been scared to death too. What you're doing is not something everybody can do. You are someone special, you CAN do it. But don't feel guilty for being scared. The opposite wouldn't be normal. <BR/>Have fun in the parkJuliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978521738473459322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170368.post-1046760942393554892008-07-05T06:44:00.000-04:002008-07-05T06:44:00.000-04:00When Lilly first came home she didn't want to be a...When Lilly first came home she didn't want to be alone in her room. I actually slept on the floor in her room for a few nights. I would lay on the floor holding her hand then try to sneak away when she was finally asleep. The first few nights I had to stay or she would wake. I also kept a sound machine/cd playing in there. She wasn't used to no one being around. Maybe you could let her pick a stuffed animal or some new sheets for her bed. I wish you luck!Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14887038001500249153noreply@blogger.com
