All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come?

    HAHAHA-- Ahhh, pumping... It's sad when you look at how hard you work and for how many months you prepared and how fast it goes... How long are you going out of town for?

    We are going out of town for 2 days. I am pumping also to keep up with my supply. I got low when he started sleeping six hours at a time and I didn't pump. Breastfeeding didn't come as easy as I thought it would!

    Wow! did you fly? If so how did you carry on all that milk? I don't think I will get that much. When I pump and he doesn't nurse I don't get much. We have been struggling with a low milk supply.

Well Rested

It is amazing what a 7 am wake up can do for a person! 7 am is a far cry from our 4:45 wake up calls and I gotta just say.... keep it up Wyatt!! I have no idea if it was moving the bed away from the light (on the opposite side of the room) a later bedtime, or just his body getting back on schedule, whatever it is, it's working! I am happy to report that even on Christmas morning he has been sleeping until 6:30 or 7 and staying in bed until 6:45/7:15. That's a great improvement for us and I am hoping it stays this way! Yes, I would love it if he decided he wanted to sleep until 8 but normally our day really needs to get going by 8:30/9 anyway so I am happy with his wake up. 7:30 would just make me beyond thrilled but I won't push my luck. I like that he will play quietly in his room and give us a couple minutes to fully wake up and even wash up if we are really lucky. It's hard to get yourself ready with a toddler running around and nearly impossible with a toddler and 8...

Cherish these moments

I need to tell you about Christmas and a few other exciting things but tonight I just want to talk about holding your babies tight and loving every moment you have with them. This past year a lot of little babies have gone to be with the Lord. I have read blogs about loss, been close to a family who had to say goodbye to their sweet boys, and have had a friend of a friend suffer the unexpected loss of her little boy. Tonight I read two more heart breaking stories. I honestly cannot imagine loosing a child. I just can't imagine it. My heart breaks for these families who go into the hospital prepared and knowing that they might be delivering a baby who has already passed away, for the ones who get mere months instead of years with their child. In every single case, this people cling tight to the Lord and their faith that he will get them through the tough times ahead. That he had a perfect plan for their child and his plan included a very short stay on this earth. They have great fai...
