Soooo...whata day! Maggie is about to hit her four month mark, maybe that's it, but whatever it is we had a rough, sleepless, day!
She fights sleep like no other. On my list of things to do today, I accomplished 1/2 of three things. I tried everything - sound machine, rocking her, feeding her, driving in the car, going for a walk. She would dose off for a few minutes here and there, but not deep, long nap!
Maggie knows something is always going on, and if she sleeps, she will miss out on socializing, hanging out, talking (her cooing and shrilling:), watching me work around the house, etc.
Here she is really trying to stay awake while I talked on the phone.
And of course I had to move her to the den while I worked in the kitchen.
The Lord is teaching me patience. Though I have my moments of frustration, at the end of the day, I thank the Lord of the blessing of being with my beautiful, healthy daughter through out the day (sleep or no sleep).
Of course she is not getting the naps she needs so we do have moments of outburst...
There is something so sweet about her finally falling asleep though...
This is her, FINALLY asleep in her crib for the night (she has no problem falling asleep on her own, in her crib at night...it's just those darn naps:)
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness.."
- Galations 5:22
"Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name."
- Psalm 100:4
