Sounds like she is doing great. Just wanted to let you know about our napping/daytime sleep experiences because it sounds like O and M are very similar. Mia was always a great nighttime sleeper when she was less than 3 months old (sleeping through the night at 6 weeks), but her daytime sleep was basically non-existent. Little 15 minute catnaps here and there, no schedule, nothing consistent. It's hard on mommy because you hardly have time to even brush your teeth or get anything done, so I understand how you are feeling! I can't imagine trying to work from home too!
Anyways, around 4 months, Mia's nighttime sleeping went to crap (I'm sure you remember my posts) and we sleep trained her. Once we did that, at around 5 months when the sleep training was working, she started taking more predictable naps. I think it was 3 a day at that point, each one about 30-45 minutes. But at least it was something I could basically count on in terms of schedule.
I thought one of the hardest things about the first few months was the lack of schedule and consistency, especially during the day. I was really eager (like it sounds you are) to get some sort of schedule going so I could at least know what my day would be like and plan to do some things!
Hopefully things will start to settle into a routine for you in the next month or so. And hopefully O will keep up her awesome nighttime sleeping habits!!! Keep us posted on how everything progresses!
