I am a mom...

Who has gone far to long without a decent amount of sleep. I chose to have a child. I chose to breast feed. I chose to be an attachment style parent. I chose to stay home. I chose to...shoot. I didn't realize how little sleep I would get. During my pregnancy I got very little. Too many trips to the potty. Too much morning sickness that lasted all day for 9 months. (I did not choose these things) Now I want sleep. I decided to have a "talk" with my daughter in the wee hours of this day about baby sleep and big girl sleep. (Yes she is 10 months old and I understand that her brain does not compute all of what I had to say) She slept though. She nursed very little and she slept until 7 am. THAT is a HUGE accomplishment. She has not slept passed 6am for months. It's usually like 4:30am that she gets up. Now she's taking a blissful nap that didn't involve a big fit. So, I know I must express my gratitude- Hey Universe THANKS!!!! What are you grateful for today?
