Sleep, it's a wonderful gift from God.

Sleep, it's a wonderful gift from God.

I know that we are suppose to be joyful in all things including our troubles which allow us to grow and learn.  Maybe thats why I'm so appreciative right now.  If I hadn't gone almost a year and a half without a full nights sleep I probably wouldn't think twice about how 3 nights in a row of a full nights sleep was completely amazing! Ok 2.5, the dogs woke up at about 3am, Harley had an upset stomach again.  But in 10 minutes he's taken care of, theres no hour long fight with the kid to go back to sleep.  Last weekend I put her playpen away in attempts to clean the house, get rid of clutter, and just make things look a little better for company.  She didn't do well that weekend but this week she has done just fine.  She usually needs to be soothed to sleep before put in bed but once she's out she seems to stay out.  That has always been the issue cuz she never seemed to self sooth herself back to sleep.  I'm praying that this continues especially when the baby arrives.
