Mommy's brag: Sydney slept SO GOOD last night! She went down at 9:30pm and slept until 2:30am-- FIVE HOURS-- and then slept another 4 hours after she ate. You're an angel, Baby Girl! Thanks for letting Mommy get some rest!
Mommy's booboo: I've been nervous about clipping Sydney's nails since before she was born. I even asked the nurse to cut them for me when she was still in the hospital. Her little claws grow fast, though- so much so that we've lovingly called her "Sydney Scissorhands" when she's scratched us. Well, tonight, I blew it- I cut her fingertip with the clippers. I felt terrible!!! Not only did I cut my poor baby's finger, but I did it while she was sleeping and woke her from a perfectly good nap. Ouch- I stink!!
Fortunately, so far, I have not done that. If you push the skin right under her nail down a bit you can see the white part of the nail better so you're less likely to get the skin. And you may only need to trim a tiny bit at a time. Be thankful that her nails grow so quicly, it's a sign of good nutrition. What a good girl for sleeping so long. Keep it up!
