Swishy Pants

I learned an important lesson last night, do not wear any clothing that makes any type of noise when you have an infant you are try to get to sleep. I was wearing a pair of what I call Swishy Pants. I had put them on last night because I wanted to wear something comfortable as we were getting settled for the night and my yoga pants were in the washer. Every time I would get Lily almost asleep, which is when I can usually put her in her crib and she will fall asleep on her own, my pants would make a noise and wake her up. And not just wake her up a little bit, but startle her so awake that it would take a couple minutes to calm her down and then she would just want to smile and coo and just generally be cute for the next 20 minutes. After a couple rounds of this wonderful "game" I won and she was asleep in her crib. I decided to go check on her after a bit, because obsessively checking on our sleeping infants is what new moms do, and my pants made swishing noises at the door and woke her up. I finally gave up with trying to get her to sleep in her room (still kinda wondering why I didn't think to just change my pants) and we settled in on the couch for some snuggle/sleep time. She finally did go to sleep and I was able to put her in the crib, but that was around 1am, about 3 hours after I started this whole ordeal.

The best part about all of this is that around 9pm she fell asleep at Buffalo Wild Wings when we went to visit Sean. It was fairly loud tonight and with all the tvs on I figured she would be wide awake, but no, slept through most of the visit and then wakes up to swishy pants...
