I have to brag on her just a little. She is doing so well sleeping! I have to thank my friend Katie who gave me a great book to borrow, Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Child. So far I swear by it. Last night was probably the best and easiest night so far. She ate at 7pm then had bath time with daddy and was in bed by 8pm. She was up at 1:30am to eat and back to sleep within the hour. Then she slept til 7am. I actually had to wake her up to feed her. I pretty much have her on a strict feeding schedule of every three hours during the day and at night Justin gives her a bottle whenever she wakes up. She naps in the morning for two hours, a short nap after her 10am feeding, an afternoon nap and another short nap after her 4pm feeding. She seems to do the best, both with eating and sleeping, if we can catch her before she is starving or exhausted. That's the whole philosophy in the book.
I just spoke with my friend Dallion who told me about a couple with a much needed prayer request. They have a son who is globally brain damaged. He is approximately 2-3 years old but is like a newborn. He is in the hospital and not expected to live. In a way this is a blessing but I can only imagine the anguish they must be feeling. I pray for them to have peace in their hearts and for Soren to be free and whole and with the Lord.
Okay...I'm now going to go hug and hold my healthy baby girl. Thank you God for her!
