Cinnamon Rolls from the Past
I am currently in one of the "You're killing me, smalls," phases of babyhood. That is, that baby is not sleeping, day or night. Unless she's physically on my shoulder, putting my arm to sleep and guaranteeing crippling pain.
Luckily, this is not my first baby (or my second, or even my third), so I know it's just a phase. Sometime in the coming days (please) or weeks, she'll sleep again.
But for now, there are cinnamon rolls.
When I made cinnamon rolls on Christmas Eve, I made a double batch and froze some. I figured if I was going to all that trouble to make them, I'd better at least get two good mornings out of it.
The extra ones have been sitting in the freezer all this time, awaiting the right moment for cinnamon roll comfort. I am normally very careful about not eating a lot of sugar when I'm not getting any sleep, because it just makes me feel worse. But this morning, I decided that cinnamon rolls would make me feel as if I might be able to go on.
It's not the same as eight hours of uninterrupted sleep*, but it's something. And I'll take what I can get right now.
* Or even four hours. That'd be great.

Does using a baby sling holder work for her / you?
Oh , and yum for cinnamon rolls(not really that much sugar! :)
I've never been able to get into the slings, as it still requires me to have a baby physically hanging on me, which just hurts. I'm sure she would love it, though.
And yes, not that much sugar in the cinnamon rolls, actually. Particularly since I didn't put any kind of frosting on the top this time.
I was just thinking since she is on your shoulder anyway ....
A sling might do the trick. It might ease your arm pain and numbness, at least. The cinnamon rolls were probably perfect, frosting or no frosting.
