Carmen's "saddest face in the world"

Hi all,

We are back from the baby asylum, and I can't exactly say we have a new and improved Carmen. She is still a crap sleeper, having about 6 catnaps a day, if we are lucky. However, her catnaps are now in her cot and not in the sling attached to me while I bounce on a big exercise ball, so yay for that! Now we just have to work on extending her naps into sleeps, so if any of you have any suggestions, I am all ears. It was definitely worthwhile going to the clinic, although it was 5 long days of crying babies everywhere! Jeff just about lost his mind, but I got a massage and was able to devote all of my time to Carmen, so it was good. And I have to say, Carmen was easily the cutest baby there :)

I am on my way to bed now, hopefully to get a good night's sleep to face another day. The plan is to try to resettle her in her cot after she wakes up from each nap. Obviously it didn't work today, but in the immortal words of Katie Scarlett O'Harra, tomorrow is another day!
