Okay I know this is a first...blogging three days in a row? Wow! Last night's post didn't come out as I wanted it to but Libby was being fussy and Brandon gets a little stressed when that happens so Mama had to stop and help.
Well I feel somewhat successful in my goal with this new "lack of sleep style" with Miss Li Ro. I think she is about to cut a tooth although I have said that since she was 3 months and here we are 4 months still without a tooth. I also think that a full diaper could also be a big part of the problem. My new plan is to get up with her if she wakes up crying, change the diaper, rock her for a max of 20 minutes then put her back to bed. Well she woke up at 11 and cried on and off until 12. I refused to get up because hello her diaper can't be that saturated yet considering she has only been down for a couple hours. Brandon and I both let her cry it out. I looked on the monitor and she was laying on top of her blanket instead of under it. She must have really thrown down! I heard her again at 3:15 am. So I got up and had Brandon come with me to give her tylenol. The poor pitiful thing had her paci in her mouth pulling the bumper pad down so she could look through the slats of the bed. awww. It melted my heart. Sure enough she had a 10 pound (exaggerated a little) diaper. I changed her, Muffin gave her tylenol, rocked her for 20 minutes and back down she went. She fussed at 4 something and Brandon got up to give her a paci and she quieted down and slept until 7ish. Whew. I am hoping this is just a phase cause I don't think I can go without my beauty sleep much longer.
It never fails, everyday around 2 hours after her waking she goes back down for a morning nap. I take her to her room rock her, sing to her, and play youtube music videos to her. It's our daily routine. I ususally sing along with a Chris Tomlin video but today I pulled up "Jesus Paid It All" contemporary version by Kristian Stanfill. As I played it Li Ro passed out of course and my eyes filled with tears and they streamed down my face. I was just so happy, felt so blessed, God loves me so much he sent his son to die for my sins. He loves me even though I make mistakes, say hurtful things, think bad thoughts. He STILL loves me. If you havent heard the song I highly encourage you to listen to it. It moves me everytime. I couldnt help but look around the room while holding this precious (non-sleeping) baby that is so healthy and beautiful, I am just in awe of this blessing. Brandon and I have a wonderful house, he has a wonderful job, Libby has a beautiful room and I am so thankful and blessed. I don't deserve any of it but he has provided for me and I don't ever take it for granted. Mom and dad recently went to Gatlinburg and they mentioned they saw a couple special needs children, one being a baby with Down's. I just stop and thank God for my healthy baby that I love so much and I just pray that I never disappoint or fail her. God is so good!
