I didn’t want Baby D to only be able to use little potties, so we used this throughout the training as well. Fleece Sheets-Nothing is worse than having a sleeping baby in your arms, slowly and carefully placing her in her crib, then having her scream as soon as she lays on the cold sheet!

Our daughter apparently gnaws on it when waiting for us to come to get her in the morning and after nap. Changing Pad with Cover -Nothing fancy, just make sure the cover is easy to wipe down with disinfectant spray or wipes. If there was a sermon I really learned a lot from, I sometimes take an entire page and copy my notes down. Eugene is struggling with the demands of his beautiful but high-maintenance wife, who is constantly complaining about their small home and pushing him to ask for a promotion. It differs depending on which side of the paper I am writing on, but the larger column is for my Bible reading, while the smaller column is for prayers.

Night Light -There will be times once your baby is sleeping in their nursery that they will wake up in the middle of the night. Nothing is worse than your baby flooding your only mattress pad in the middle of the night and not having a replacement!

If she was just kind of crying (more like whining), we let her get through it and teach herself to fall asleep. You don’t want your baby to only be able to sleep in complete silence, so a noise maker will help get them used to sleeping with background noise.As I said above, if I could do my daughter’s nursery again, I would have gotten a short, long dresser and used that as a changing table too. Fridays (best idea ever), “Catch-all day,” meaning you catch up on any tasks that didn’t get done the past few days.

I felt I was always forgetting to pray for certain family members or friends going through tough times.I don’t need to rock her for an hour; she doesn’t need me to climb in her bed with her to fall asleep. I don’t know what the reasoning is, but if I stayed up late (you know, giving birth) or had to get up early for something (say…a field trip to Alcatraz), I would be sick. There were a few times she rolled waaaaay off it and gave me a heart attack, but there was one time I don’t think it was a false alarm.
