I've figured out its how she soothes herself. Twice when we've gotten her to nap in her crib it's been on her belly. Last night she never ever cried, just rolled over and settled in. I'm sure my anxiety over it will go away soon!
erbear C only sleeps on her tummy too. I was completely freaked out but you do get over it. Occasionally I'll still put my hand on her back to feel her breathe if I'm up to go to the bathroom. It's the way she sleeps best so I leave it alone.

Exactly this. Tummy is the only way she'll stay asleep for multiple hours in a row. She still fusses so damn frequently (GOT to get rid of that pacifier) that I never really get the chance to worry about her. I just touch her back if Im walking by. Never full on wakes up though, which is a major win compared to when she was sleeping in her back!

Oscar still sleeps on his back, not moving an inch at night! But he also can't roll to his belly very well so I'm sure that has something to do with it.
T is my chill baby. No crawling, just rolling. And not a reliable sitter yet, rather tipsy. But as of today we have a tooth! Just 3 days shy of 7 months!

Don't have much going on. My parents came over today and took M out for a walk. DH got pissed at me at 4 am b/c I was questioning him whether we should give medicine if he is in pain from teething, or if he is just crying because he wants to get out of the crib. Our 4:45 wake ups have gradually moved up to 4:10ish. We let him cry himself back to sleep til 5 but H was saying he doesn't need to hear my commentary all morning in addition to M crying. Way to make me feel like shit.
We got errands done yesterday but nothing planned today. Just hang out at home with my parents. I've been wanting to comment more on the threads the past few days, but when I'm at home, I start feeling overwhelmed and depressed, and don't feel like I have much to contribute. It's weird because at work, that's not the case. I know the answer to feeling better is eating better and exercising, but I just can't get out of this rut that I've gotten stuck in. It's too soon in the new year to feel so shitty.
Oh yea, and M sleeps on his belly almost all night, but still hates tummy time and rolling. He'd be content to lay on his back and stand/sit all the time.

holliberry28 sorry you're feeling down! Men can be so insensitive, particularly when they're tired. Ugh. I go through phases of feeling like I have nothing to contribute here too! Just as long as you come back to us
I was super anxious about it when N first started sleeping on her belly. Now we just cut to the chase and put her down on her belly. I still check her breathing at least once a night though.. Because, crazy.
I'm also crazy...DD sleeps on her tummy all night but I can never PUT her to sleep on her tummy, she must roll over and do it herself. Because that makes it different? LOL, crazy mom logic over here!

I'm avoiding going to run on my new treadmill by sitting with a sleeping baby on me. I know I could easily put her in her crib and get my butt to the basement, but I'd much rather TCF;)

H and I just put my treadmill together yesterday. I've been putting off using it so far today, too.
Good news- I actually made it down there (albeit with 2 workout buddies)
and ran my mile and walked a bit! It sucked at first but I definitely don't regret it now:) you can do it!

Just had liquid baby poo get all over our living room rug...add in the baby crawling away while doing it...ah motherhood. Well at least she did it before we got the rug professionally cleaned?

budders that sounds like a good plan! And today is a good day for a "dry run" so to speak before the work week hits. I know I'll have a harder time convincing myself to workout after getting home and doing all the normal nighttime stuff. I hope this board can keep me motivated:)
