Improvements

This was my view at 4 a.m. this morning. You would have to be a sleep deprived mama to celebrate and blog about this, but Blair was asleep!!! Usually she will nurse, but not go back to sleep from about 2:30- 5:30. I think my body is adjusting to the lack of sleep because despite my best efforts, I could not go back to sleep even though she was fast asleep, so I just enjoyed snuggling with my little girl and soaking in the moment. Also, sometime this week nursing got increasingly less painful. A huge praise!!!

In other improvements, one morning this week Luke reported to me that Blake woke up saying green, green, green and was pointing to the clock and he is sleeping somewhere from 7- 7:30. Good job Blakers!!! And my normal Bailey girl has also reappeared from where ever it was she went for two weeks. Woo Hoo!!!

 

Lastly, I have now made 2 trips to the grocery store with all three, and we have even made it to MOPS and church on time. A quick story about the grocery store: Blair cried the entire time we were there. On every aisle some sweet elderly person would comment to me about how hungry she must be. I had just nursed Blair before leaving so I knew she wasn't hungry, so I would kindly tell the elderly person that I think she is just being fussy. Each time they would come back with well, she must be cold or tired or maybe she has gas. Anyways, by the fifth time Bailey (very respectfully) told the elderly person that sometimes babies just cry. You should have seen the look on the elderly person face.

 

Anyways, all this to say that I woke up this morning feeling like we are adjusting to our new normal. I am sure that's premature to say, but I can hope.
