Trying to Catch Some Zzz's

It just dawned on me that maybe Little Miss Fussy Pants wants to lay down. We've had her propped up in the swingless swing for several months now. She was in the bassinet for about a week or two until she caught a cold. I put her back in the swing so she could sleep at an elevated position. But she just isn't the best sleeper and we can't figure out why. My husband thought maybe she's cold at night so we put her in a onesie with sleeves. That didn't seem to help. We tried turning her music on when she wakes up in the middle of the night. No dice there either. She wakes up every single hour from about 3 or 4a.m. on. She doesn't always take the best naps. What is the deal. Mama needs sleep. Seriously. So tonight I thought, I have nothing to lose. I zipped her up in her little sleep sack (yes, total side note.. she also outgrew the miracle blanket) and put her in her bassinet. Which by the way, she barely fits in anymore. I suppose bassinets are not designed for 5 month olds. So far, so good. I just went in there and I could hear her snoring. Few things are cuter or sweeter than a baby snoring. So maybe this is the answer. Maybe she's like, 'come on people, just get me a flippin' bed. I want to sleep too. That swing is driving me nuts.' She could also just be really worn out from crying for two hours straight today. I suppose time will tell. Let's just hope it will not tell me at 3 or 4 in the morning.
