Sleeping better

Lizzie finally seems to have found her stride. I started putting her to bed earlier (7:30p.) The second night of this she only woke up once, at 3:30a. Then she gets up for the day at 8a. Naps have improved immensely and I'm SO happy. I was getting pretty frustrated, to say the least, at all the night time wakings. She still has some rough nights but it's because I have to adjust to being home sooner to put her to sleep earlier. It kind of cramps my style but it's worth it to have a baby sleeping through the night. By the time I go to bed, she's been sleeping long enough that I actually miss her and have to go look at her sleeping. I'm so blessed to have this sweet daughter of God in my home.

3am

So here it is 3:30 in the morning and my baby won't stop crying. As if my days aren't long enough with two kids, why don't we take on a couple more hours in the night. And by a couple I mean four because even if it is two hours, which is enough torcher, it FEELS like four because my baby is crying the whole time. Milk just won't do at these times. Singing, rocking, shhing, walking, bouncing, swaying, watching TV, none of these things will do at this time. What am I supposed to do? I'm tired, I'm thinking bad things. I just want to freak out. But then I remember that I love my baby so much. She's cute. And someday when she goes on her first day, I'll use that time as payback. "Remember that night you cried for hours and wouldn't be consoled?" Geez, this isn't enough funny. Far from my best material. Maybe I'll rewrite it tomorrow night at 3am.

Messy Blog

You know, no one told me how annoying it is to make this thing look cute. And of course I want it to be cute but I don't have the sweet skills it takes. The next time you come to my blog it will probably be different because I'm still working at it. And lets me honest with ourselves, if this blog is anything like my house, it will probably always be kind of messy. But whatever. I just have to accept that. So take it for what it's worth. Peace.

Brand new

I finally decided I need a place where I could write down a piece of my mind. The good, the bad, and the ugly. You'll probably read that phrase from me again later. I've never really blogged and I don't usually spend a lot of time looking at other peoples blogs. I figured that's what facebook is for. Post some pictures, give a description, and walk away. I don't have to decorate and impress anyone with the way it looks. Plus, I take so many dang pictures of my kids I can't possibly post them all here! But maybe I'd just like a place to ramble. Read if if you want, don't if you don't. No biggie. But when I ask you about it later, you better know the answers ;-) And also, all my pictures are on the other computer so I won't be adding any for a small while.
