Blessings
This morning I'm more worn-out than I've been in a long time.
Tagg followed up a growth spurt with teething and it's giving us all a run for our money. And he's started his little rebellion with sleeping in and decided to become an early riser. Like 5:30am early. Wells did the same thing at his age and returned to normal eventually. So I know it's coming. It won't last long. And it's actually kinda nice to get in the extra time with my sweet boy in a quiet house with a cup of coffee.
I go away him sleepin' as I upward thrust early
Always up before the dawn
The house is darkish, however I see virtually
Kettle sings a morning song
The bacon's frying, toddlers crying
I take in the sights and sounds
Minutes flip to days and I wish that I ought to slow it down
We had a truly long night with Wells the other night that resulted in her sleeping in our bed. Twice. Something we swore we'd never do and hope to not repeat. But she needed the comfort and we all needed the quiet. Once she got relaxed she asked to leave and go back to her bed. And then we repeated the process again 30 minutes later resulting in all three of us waking up the next morning smooshed together listening to Tagg singing alone in the next room. I'm not sure if she's having night terrors or just bad dreams. Or just doesn't feel well and can't get comfortable. Or has moved into some awful new phase that will hopefully pass soon. But she's tossing and turning and crying in her sleep all night. She's not even fully awake each time and doesn't always call for me. And she has never asked to come sleep with us (that was our idea) for comfort. As soon as we go in her room to check on her she stops crying and goes right back to sleep. And then just as we all fall asleep it starts again. I'm at a loss on how to help our sweet girl. Thankfully, it's gotten so much better the past several nights and it's only once or twice a night that she calls out. I finally told her that I was here and I loved her but I was sleeping and she couldn't keep waking me up all night. Maybe it worked? Because last night she fell back asleep before I even had a chance to go to her. So we're already seeing improvement.
One day quickly that little lady is gonna be
All grown up and gone
Yeah, this segment is gonna fly with the aid of
So baby just keep on
?Cause it might not be like this for lengthy
And before I keep my sleep deprived pity birthday party, I need to stop and consider how fortunate I am to have such substantial blessings in my life.
To have a stunning and loving daughter right here on Earth with us who has not anything incorrect along with her however some restless sleep.
She has robust lungs and might articulate her feelings.
To have a son who is also here on Earth and growing and growing properly with out a delays or set-backs.
I have okay hearing (my friends would laugh and call my bluff if I said it was great) that allows me to hear my children each and every time they cry out.
I even have two succesful legs that deliver me to them as usually as essential.
I have hands that supply me access to physically comfort and a voice which could soothe them.
I actually have a residence with relevant air, freed from pests and troubles, and well fed children in safe cribs with clean sheets and blankets and lambies that lets in me to recognize there are not any external standards affecting their sleep.
So inform me, what are you combating with nowadays?
What are you thankful for these days?
