Could definitely be worse

I'm sitting on my old couch in the garage with my laptop, 'cause Rhys fell asleep in the car and I'm crappy at moving him into his crib. Thing is, I did this for his morning nap too.

Poor kid. Such a klutz for a mom. There's a lot more I could get done if he were sleeping inside, too, but oh well.

Am I the only mom ever with arms too short to put her baby in the crib without startling him by sorta-dropping him the last inch or two, even when I use a stepstool?

I used to sleep in the car when the kids were asleep -- just pull over and nap also. it was the only way I got enough sleep. My little one also slept in a playpen rather than a crib, cause he was climbing well before he could walk, and it was safer/lower for him to climb out of the playpen than it was the crib.

Then again, for his first few months he slept in a ... feh, I don't remember what it was called. It looked like modern infant carseats -- with the handle, and the curved bottom to rock, and the handle could flip around to brace it propped up. He had a severe case of the sniffles constantly, but it wasn't a cold, and he was 'too young to have allergies' -- so we just had him sleeping in that, propped up slightly, to give him an angle to sleep on.

Cribs are over-rated. Be creative in your sleeping solutions!
