What are you doing darling girl?

Sage has decided she likes to sleep a certain way in her bassinet. Not on the pillow I gave her after she was born because it had been my pillow. Not the "normal" way with head at top, feet near bottom way. This way: And to those that I know are looking at this image and realizing:

GASP-she lets her baby sleep with a pillow?

GASP-she lets her baby sleep with blankets?

Yes, peeps. I do. I have had 4 kids. I know a little something or a lot of somethings about taking care of my babies. Each and every one of my kids have all gotten my pillow when brought home from the hospital. I get my pillows smashed and flattened and...I love them. And then, because I love my kids more, I give them my pillow. Two reasons: it elevates their heads so I don't worry about the gag factor; and because it has my scent. It does calm them.
As far as the blanket thing. I can't sleep without something covering me up. Can you?
Also--I check on sleeping babies--a lot. Like crazy a lot. Two reasons: to make sure they are okay; and because there is nothing more calming to look at then a sleeping babe. Don't you agree?
