Belly sleeper

...I am a belly sleeper. I have not slept on my belly for probably 8 months now. I haven't really slept great for almost 8 months now, too. Being pregnant doesn't really make belly sleeping very comfortable, and being a breast-feeding mama doesn't really make it very comfortable either. Or dry for that matter. I cannot wait to sleep on my belly again. Or sleep in general, to be honest. But - that's part of the territory, isn't it? Having a newborn?

Oh my word, I miss sleeping for an entire night without interruption.

Anyways. I'll try not to complain too much -- lucky for Jay, he gets the brunt of most of my frustrations and complaints these days.

My point of this entry is this:

Levi has been having an almost-2-hour nap!!!!

Big deal, right? Don't newborns sleep all the time, anyways?

HA!!! Not mine. I don't know what his deal is, but, unless he's in his carseat, and we're out-and-about..., or sleeping on one of us (normally his Dad - I seem to remind him of being a milk machine when I try to get his to sleep on me) -- this kid will not nap for more than...45 minutes at a time, typically.

Incredibly frustrating, to say the least.

And, don't bother giving me suggestions on what to try: I have seriously tried them.

Except for putting him on his belly.

Which I did this morning. On a cozy blanket in the middle of my kitchen floor, to be exact.

And this little guy, who loves to be cuddled to have a good sleep...has been sleeping for 2 hours. Without any human contact.

Its a miracle, really.
