When we travel, I have an iPhone white noise app that is simply necessary!! But you're right, Ella makes one peep and I hear her (I think it may also be due to supersonic mama-hearing!)<br /><br />As for having grandparents around, oh how I wish we lived closer to my family. I grew up just 1/8 mile from my grandparents and it was wonderful - a part of my life that I wouldn't trade for the world. Someday I hope we can move closer to them (right now we are an airplane ride away). That is sooo wonderful yours are so close and involved in such a positive way!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08992756315636193722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595600236357741760.post-50411828261624278092011-02-09T16:02:56.878-04:002011-02-09T16:02:56.878-04:00I like the idea of the white noise machine!

This meant I could actually shower once and a while and it was a blessing. It was bittersweet to move into our own house. <br /><br />Now, I'm going to school part-time and my parents and my in-laws take turns watching Peanut. I am so lucky that they are willing and able to do this because it helps me to be able to go to school, but still trust that Peanut is safe and happy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595600236357741760.post-34248135690888112502011-02-09T05:25:45.961-04:002011-02-09T05:25:45.961-04:00I've never heard of the white noise machine - ...I've never heard of the white noise machine - man I could have done with one of those! Why is it some people's kids sleep through everything and ours are wired to wake at the slightest sound! Sounds like you have awesome parents, I love that you appreciate them so much.

My husband complains if I switch it off and forget to turn it back on, so it's not only babies that benefit from the white noise. :) <br /><br />And lucky you to have grandparents nearby! Ours are both too far away to help out, and I miss the help and the relationship the girls could have with them if they were closer.Michelle @ The Parent Vortexhttp://www.theparentvortex.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595600236357741760.post-56379812737062886072011-02-08T16:27:16.088-04:002011-02-08T16:27:16.088-04:00That white noise machine sounds awesome!

We made a copy and played that thing NON-STOP. <br /><br />Then we were visiting family, and my sister-in-law was donating her daughter's outgrown white noise machine to Goodwill and asked if we wanted to have it. Heck, yes! Since we cosleep, it's seriously to the point that <i>Sam and I</i> can't sleep without it. :) <br /><br />Your parents sound amazing — I love hearing about that kind of intergenerational support!Lauren Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500733577920040395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595600236357741760.post-54674696846303155252011-02-08T10:53:49.063-04:002011-02-08T10:53:49.063-04:00Kieran is the same as Maddie - he used to wake up ...Kieran is the same as Maddie - he used to wake up if we made *any* noise after getting him to sleep. I think his stage 1 sleep was abnormally long . . . or something. It's gotten better though, or I've gotten better at reading when he's deep enough down to tiptoe away from.Dionna @ Code Name: Mamahttp://codenamemama.comnoreply@blogger.com
