My nights as of late have been so mixed up. Last night I had evening duty while Tim rested in preparation for class and tonight's my night off and here I am blogging at 1 AM because I can't sleep. Hubby's asleep, baby's asleep, why not me? I have no idea. Am I coming down with the cold Sammy has had since Saturday evening? Is it work? My new schedule?
When Sammy cries, I get an adrenaline rush that sometimes is hard to get over. That's all I can think of. I don't even think I can write a blog of much value at this point but I so rarely have the opportunity, I thought, why not? I'm awake. Might be amusing to read later on (or not!)
So my son continues to teeth, I have no idea where all these teeth are coming from. Poor little guy has seven through the gum line and started excessively drooling the past two days, a dead give away that more are on their way. Then add in little man's second cold for the winter and it's hard for him to get a good night's sleep. (Although he's getting better zzz's than his Momma as of present).
Tim's class is going well and I'm enjoying the extra time with Sammy. Our pastor has mentioned a number of times that the first year as a parent is far more difficult than the adjustments of the first year of marriage. I would have to agree. Not that Sammy has been difficult, it's just such a huge life change! Nine months later and my son is three times what he once was and my little baby looks more like a toddler and I realize how quickly the time has passed. Just this week Sammy has started to clap his hands and will play catch with a rattle ball Racine made for him. So neat!
Ok, I think I'm going to have to recruit my hubby to try to give this exhausted Momma a back rub or I'm going to be a wreck in the morning. Hopefully I can get some sleep.

Sorry to hear you cannot sleep. Just relax, close you eyes and think of the words to the 23 Pslam to yourself, soon you will be in a relax deep sleep. Rev George taught that on one of the mission trips. Good night my childq and trust in the Lord.
Sorry you are having trouble sleeping. The first year is differently the best and worst year! They go through some very exciting times and very trying times. There was a many I day that I felt like I was sleep walking during the day because I was so exhausted from the lack of sleep through the night. Zack didn't start to sleep through the night until he was about 9 months. At 7 month I finally got him down to 1 feeding. Prior to that we were up with him 2 or 3 times because of his tummy issues. Even today it seems that at least once a night mommy is called into the line of duty but I wouldn't change it for the world :)
