I love posts like this one that has a title that fools you into thinking the person of that blog may be pregnant again. So I decided to do it. :) No, no prego here, guys, just thinking about it. Last night I was up with Griffin oh I'd say at least 4 times if not more. We rocked, we went in the living room and tried to sleep in the recliner, we laid down on the couch when the recliner wasn't cutting it, we drank some milk, changed a diaper, gave some tylenol, and rocked and soothed some more. Poor little guy. I know Griffin is sick when he doesn't sleep well, because Griffin always sleeps well (for this I am TRULY TRULY grateful). So as I was laid back in the recliner @ 4 am, my mind drifted off into the land of pregnancy planning-our pregancy planning. Do I want another baby a year from now? How did I make it those two months Griffin nursed 3 times a night? Why didn't God just wire babies to not need nurishment in the middle of night, why didn't He just wire them to sleep all night instantly??? I know all you mothers out there are thinking, "YES! That would have been A-mazing!) Well we can ask why all day and it stills remains that He DIDN'T. And that is ok, of course. He has been giving momma's strength and energy in the wee hours of the morning to take of their babies since the beginning. I think about Mary and what it must have been like to hear Jesus crying to be feed at 3 am, and getting to take care of the Savior of the world! The strength she needed to do so was coming from the very baby she was taking care of! How marvelous! Aren't we so very thankful, Ladies, that God strengthens us during the hardest times, during the times when we think there is no way I can do this anymore, and He picks us up out of out cozy beds and pushes us down the hall to do our duty.
Anyways, I am rambling here.
I think a another baby will be just wonderful whenever God wants us to have another. I think my heart is more eager than my love for sleeping all night. And hey hopefully the next baby will start sleeping through the night at 8 weeks too, so who can't do something for 2 months? And if it's longer I trust that God knows what He's doing and He will teach me and grow me nearer to Him through that circumstance.
SO here's to sleeping in recliners while holding our babies (well almost sleeping :) )
Goodnight!
