GO!
Sometimes I have to crane my neck to see around all these piles of unfolded laundry and these heaps of anxiety that well up when I've had a just-too-long night with a babe who thinks not sleeping should be an Olympic sport. All this neck craning can leave the neck sore and the heart muscles just a bit atrophied in the gratitude department.
I nod off during a feeding.
I curl up on the floor beside her crib because I just can't risk tripping back to my comfy bed only to be dragged out of it again.
I see things from a low, defeated vantage point sometimes...but, I have to remember so does she...and her vantage point can be pure joy...even when she is peering over piles of unfolded laundry.
Very sweet, and very true. What a blessing that she has a mom who is learning to understand that. :) Hang in there. No, I won't say "it gets better" coz I've got five, from 3 all the way up to 15, and it's always something. ;) Blessings to you.
ReplyDeleteHow true it is!! They are only young once, the house and the laundry can wait...she can't! Mine is 9 years old already! It goes WAY too fast!!
ReplyDeleteLove it... You go little mama :-)
ReplyDeleteVery true! My baby is four months and he brings joy to my life when all I can sometimes see is sadness.
ReplyDeleteMine is four, and he still gets me up at night. Not every half hour like when he was a baby, but at least once every night. STILL. I see people posting about their six week old babies sleeping through the night and I think, What on earth? How did they get so lucky? But my little guy struggles with bad dreams and he comes to find me. I'm glad for that--that I'm his comfort, not that I miss sleep. Four years later, I'm not sleeping through the night, but I'm functioning much better on this limited amount I get! LOL
