First Pet

I imagine, if we would count the nights that we actually have slept through since Reagan was born....it wouldn't be very many!! She's a terrible sleeper. She was the baby that maybe catnapped a few times a day and then was up every few hours. Sometimes she will wake up every night for weeks. It's exhausting. No wonder we always have bags under out eyes. There are many things we would do different the next time around as far as trying to alleviate the baby portion of it but part of it is probably just genetics too. I'm not that great of a sleeper, neither are most in my family. So, to make sense of all that rambling....we bribed Reagan that if she slept for an ENTIRE week without waking up in the middle of the night we would get her a goldfish. Since we aren't dog people this was the next best thing! Needless to say the day we went and got the fish.....SHE SLEPT THROUGH THE ENTIRE THING!! Yes, slept ! She woke up just as we were in the car coming home but she was able to help dad get them from the bag to the bowl. It's been 4 days and they are all still alive. I'm sure one post will have to be the "fish floating on the top drama" but for now she is doing good feeding them and talking to them to keep them happy. Oh, and their names are Nemo, Nemo and Nemo :O)
