Sleepy Blessings

I was going to write about our little sleep problem today. You see, Blair is officially spoiled rotten and insists that I be by her side to rub her back, sing to her, and maybe brush the stray hairs off her face so they don't tickle her nose if she wakes during the middle of the night. I honestly don't mind - she's woken up at least once every night for probably the past six months and it's fine. However, for the past week she's waking up 3-4 times, maybe more, per night and I'm exhausted and was feeling like I was at the end of my rope last night.


I was going to ask for your advice on how to get her to sleep better, etc. Then, I happened across this blog: http://therowefam.blogspot.com/.

I had to fight back tears - they were tears for this family who lost such a beautiful baby; tears for knowing how easily we could have lost Blair; tears of guilt for not treasuring every fleeting, sleepless moment with our beautiful, precious gift from God.

Funny how He helps us put things in perspective, huh?

And by the way, I really do plan to tell you all about our wonderful Christmas...it was one of the best I've had in years...just be patient with me.
