We got an apartment instead.&#160; You read that correctly.&#160; An apartment.&#160; So initially when Yvonne told me they upgraded us for free to an apartment, I was thinking maybe we get an extra room or something.&#160;

Every time we lean over to put her down she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s up wide awake!&#160; So we did the only thing we thought we could do.&#160; Go to Walmart and buy her a bassinet and sleep nest.&#160; It seems to work better, but she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still not sleeping well.&#160;
