Here we are at 31 weeks prego. Holy Moly, this pregnancy is going by too quickly. I am super excited, but also nervous about being a mother of 2. Feeling good luckily, minus the frequent trips to the bathroom and having to continuously bend over to put Will's shoes & socks on numerous times during the day.
A month or so ago Will decided he was done napping. Yep, cold turkey. It was quite the shock. I tried over & over the entire week, but he refused. Major meltdown kind of refused. I was sad, very sad (yes there were tears). I had pretty much given up hope for naps, except in desperation I would take him for a drive, he of course would fall asleep and I would pull over and read a book. I really just needed a few moments to myself.
However, the good news is this week he has now napped 3 times. Yippee. So, it hasn't been every day, but, every few days. In a major desperation day (last Saturday), I was convinced he needed a nap, so he would last during the evening, and not become a monster...which happens about 5:30pm each day. I put him in his crib, and pretty much boxed him in, not letting him climb out. He was in a major meltdown and said he wanted to lay on the floor and put him jammies on. So with little negotiation I made a bed on the floor, put on his jammies and left the room. Honestly, just waiting for him to walk out. But...Happy day, it worked, he napped. And when he did wake up and opened the door, he said, "Mama, I'm happy." As I have repeatedly told him that naps make him happy. So there's my nap saga, a few days in. Wish us all luck.
Playing in the snow, yay.

Bless his little heart and yours. McKenna went through a "no nap" phase for about two weeks. I was pretty persistent about at least trying to get her to nap or have 1 at least hour quiet time (one primary song CD, btw is about an hour). :) Well, now she will still take about 5 out of 7 naps a week! Don't give up. You need your rest too. That's also very GOOD you feel like this pregnancy is going fast. That's must mean it's been pretty easy too. ;)
31 weeks!?!?!? Seriously, that is crazy! I'm glad it's going fast for you. He'll be here before you know it! I'm glad your napping sit has gotten a bit better. Miles and Graham have always loved their nap times, but the day will come too soon, and I'm not looking forward to it. :( Will is so stinking cute! miss you guys. xoxox
