I've decided that babies sleep entirely too much!
It wasn't so long ago when I despaired of ever getting 4 consecutive hours of sleep again. Today, our child is a wonderful sleeper and sleeps 11+ hours a night - consecutively. We are so blessed to have a baby that sleeps through the night. However, I get to spend so very little time with him during the week. I often wish he would go to bed a little later or that I could still wake up to cuddle him for those 2 am feedings.
Mind you, we have teething and growth spurts on the horizon and probably our share of winter colds which will keep us up more than a few nights. At that point, I'll miss the days when I put Austin in his crib at 7 and didn't hear from him again until 6 the next morning.
Apparently mommies are never satisfied.
Ah, if it were not for the rough moments how would we know to appreciate the smooth ones? It is a shame we cannot put the good times in a jar and pull them out when needed. Ah well, that is why God gave us a memory.
ReplyDeletewhat an incredibly healthy and beautiful grandson and what a wonderful mommie. Jim and I were talking this morning--this is exactly what God programed you to be, the deep, loyal, sensitive, ever-gentle and capable daughter of mine, wife of Dallas and mother of Austin. You're such a blessing.
