Baby has only cat napped briefly about 4 times over the last 9 hours.
:th
DH will not get home till 11:30 or so, and I know as soon as he picks her up, she will zonk out .

Needless to say, I have gotten next to nothing done today :lol:

And, I have resorted to the pacifier :(

A pacifier isn't necessarily an evil thing. Both of my kids had one, and both gave it up on their own by about 6 months. I hate to see a kid around 2, 3 years old (or even older!) w/one in their mouth.

I used a pacifier...I see no harm. It is much easier to lose a pacifier than a thumb!

Awww! I see no harm in pacifier until she gets her teeth & starts walking, which IME happen around the same time. There was a 3 year old in the store the other day TALKING with her pacifier in, that unacceptable.

But Katherine is only a month old, she still needs her soothing stuff :)

If a three-year-old has a pacifier, mom and dad are the ones who need some talking to.
They must be buying replacement models as a baby pacifier doesn't even fit a three year old's mouth.

I think I would be a bit concerned about the attachment issues with the pacifier. BB needs baby to attach to her, not the pacifier. IN her place I would also be using it as a "last" resort.

Aww, what a cute picture of yummy little toes. I am going to have to get a pic of Gbaby's toes now. ;)

Sorry about your G'ma. :hugs will send prayers that whatever happens is God's will and in her best interest. I am sure it is hard for you all.

At least you have baby girl to help keep your hearts and spirits up.

We use a pacifier for G'baby. He usually spits it out as soon as he falls asleep. When I babysit him, I find it hard to get much of anything done. Last thursday I managed to get one load of laundry in the washing machine, but not hung up. It was all I could do, to keep his bottle washed and his dirty diapers put in the laundry basket. :p At least I got to sit outside with him and enjoy the nice day and our animals.
I think people worry too much about pacifiers. Babies need their comfort and sometimes a pacifier or a thumb is what works. I don't know of any grown-ups who still use a pacifier or their thumb. At least they don't do so in public. :lol: So what is the harm.

Baby stayed up till after 11pm! She did eat extra yesterday as well, and then once DH got her asleep, she slept till 5 am!

She is eating and resting normally today. No pacifier needed :ya
And that means I am getting LOTS of stuff done today.
