Sleep, Routines and breaking the schedule...

The need to nap and the need to have a life outside of the house --- So confusing. I cannot bring myself wake her so we can go out. I feel the need to make sure we stick to our schedule. I know its not always possible but I just feel like its better for her if I do. PLUS when we stick to the schedule she sleeps better and longer. Thats what babies need right? Sleep. Routine. Am I doing the right thing by being so regimented? There is it again, that self doubt! Always seems to creep in every now and then. Never truly goes away.
