out of the bedroom and into the world

I certainly had more trouble getting Madison to sleep into her crib than she did. I felt so bad leaving my little baby all alone in that big crib in that empty room. She, however, couldn't care less. She slept there by herself all night and she didn't wake me up once. I woke up twice and went in there and there she was awake (@1:00 am and then again @4:00)kicking up her legs and smiling at the monkey on her mobile. She nursed and then she went right back to sleep. She seems to love sleeping on her own. And me, stupid me, was worried that she will wake up and be scared because she is alone. She is getting to be her own little person and likes her independence. When we read a book now she actually looks at the pictures rather than staring at the blank wall. I don't think she realizes yet that the pictures and the words are a story but she likes it anyway.
I am losing all the weight now because all i eat is mushed soup, milk shakes and baked cheese grits. Hopefully by the time my baby starts eating solid foods i will too. I am getting used to the braces but still feel like i have pebbles in my mouth when i try to chew something. I was afraid i would look like a monster but i actually think it's kind of cute. Not looking forward the extractions but once that is over i will be happy. the girl who put my braces was making fun of me because i went through childbirth but am afraid of getting braces and getting a couple of teeth pulled out.
honestly i am more nervous about the teeth than labor even though i will most likely get general anastesia and sleep through it.
