Nighttime Lullaby

Do it. Or this post won't make sense :)

This is exactly what my evening looked like. Snuggling my sweet baby and singing her this song. Laying her gently in her cradle and staring at her as she slept.

Only I wasn't wearing a pink nightgown. I was wearing the same clothes I wore to work today.... covered in spit up.

And minus the dog perched up on the cradle.

Sans the cover tucked up dangerously close to her face, too. Picture a baby straight jacket swaddle blanket instead.

And I didn't just sing it once. I think I sang it 37 times.

But I did sing it sitting on the bed, just like the video. But I sang it standing too. And rocking. And bouncing. And laying down on the bed. And standing again. And rocking again. And bouncing. And one more time laying down.

And it was accompanied by a very loud "ssshhhhhhhhhhhh" from the noise machine.

And it didn't last two minutes either. It was a little longer. Like maybe around 4 hours? Yeah, I think it was four hours.

And there was a fast food run in the middle of it while dad took over the rocking and laying and standing and bouncing.

Oh, and there was nursing. Lots and lots of nursing.

And did I mention bouncing?

And the video doesn't show the three different pacifiers I had to try before finding the one she wanted. They left that part out.

But it did end with a sleeping baby in a beautiful cradle.

So yeah, my night was exactly like the video :)
