Pacifier woes.

Leia took the DIF pacifier, and used it without complaint, the only one she would take (but only if she was calm or sleeping..... which takes away the point of a pacifier..... but anyways..). Then after 5 days she refused that pacifier and has refused all pacifiers since.

Then I tried the DIF pacifier this morning, for the heck of it, and she took it...... So.. she is a picky one.. :/
As soon as she took it she fell asleep..... And she's been asleep for almost an hour now... Silly baby!

None of us slept much last night.. :/ :)
Her sleeping seems hopeless.. :/

I have a horrible time getting her to sleep. Fredrik has much better success, and he is much better at putting her in her crib so she doesn't wake up. When she falls asleep with me, she reaches out her hand every so often to touch my chest or my face to make sure I am still there........!! Or she will just sleep with her hand on my face. So, it is hopeless for me to lay her down in her bed without her waking up. Granted, it is incredibly sweet and adorable that she does that, but it makes life a little more difficult! :)

We are tired, but we are learning to live with little sleep. :)

Her eating is keeping me drained, too, though.. :/ :) She eats every 2 hours, and feeds for at least 1 hour at each feeding...! :/ :))

Leia can almost entirely hold her head up on her own..! If you sit her on your lap, she can hold her head almost perfectly. She gets tired after a little while, but we are very proud of her. :)

Caesar is getting a little clingy to Leia. :)
When I am feeding her, he will jump up on the couch and try to sit in my lap, too, next to her. :) And during the night he sleeps in her room. :) So we are happy that he is taking to her well.

3 weeks until we leave for the US!
Time has gone by fast. We are anxious for Mormor and Morfar to get to meet Leia. It has been sad and difficult for all of us that they have to wait so long to see her and that they won't get to see her so often.. :(
She will also get to meet her aunts and cousins, and even her 2nd cousins! And we are going to take a looong roadtrip with Mormor and Morfar to visit lots of great-aunts and great-uncles, and many other distant relatives.
