HELP!!!!

HELP!!!

I need advice from all those blogger/facebook moms.

I am ready (sort of ready) to move Rett to his crib in his room however he still wakes up throughout the night to eat/play or look at the ceiling.  I don't know why he wakes up so much but he does.  He is just a restless sleeper,  he hates to be swaddled so that didn't last long.  So, I started putting him on his belly, he would roll over in the middle of the night and kick himself awake, wanting to play.  Then, he got sick so we are putting him in his swing so he can breath but he still wakes up periodically through the night.

Before he got sick this week, he was eating food twice a day and I thought that would help him sleep better at night but it didn't work.  He is still nursing 4 or 5 times during the day.  We tried rice cereal but he didn't like it.  I don't know.  Maybe I'm reading to much into this but from what I have read, I think he should be able to sleep 6-8 hours straight.  He wakes up still every 3 to 4 hours sometimes every 2 hours.  He takes 2 good naps, sometimes 3 short napes,  during the day so I'm not real concerned about that.  Just at night....

He is so much fun right now. He goes nonstop (like his dad)  He can roll and scoot and sit up for longer periods of time.  I very much enjoy watching him and seeing his personality grow.  Mommyhood is so much fun but yet so hard.

I guess I'm just tired.  haha I miss sleeping.  That's my whine for this post.  

But seriously, I am just curious about what other moms do.  I want to learn more tricks and know how I can move him to his room.  I think it's time....

Let me know what you think...all advice is welcomed....

Thanks!  And please pray we can beat this sickness...he seems to be doing a lot better but still on an inhaler for his breathing.

some praises....

I've started this blog for days now and keep running around in circles of how or what I want to say. Bottom line... God is GOOD.  That's what I keep going back too.  Let's praise Him for a minute.... We have had a great news from our cousins that are battling horrible diseases!  There is still much fight to be had but God is good. We got great news from a friend this morning....their adoption is a GO!  God is good! We have seen God work in our kids lives and our church family in huge ways the past few weeks!  God is good! It's so easy to be in a slump especially with this gloomy weather that we have had.  But God still works.  He works in the small things and even the big things!!!   After the beauty of last week's snow, I found myself loving the parts that were untouched.  I loved looking at everyone's pictures and the beauty of it.  But then...it would get messed up.  People would walk on it, drive throu...

goodness...will it ever stop?!

Without further adieu.... Kraig and I have been called to a little church out in the valley to serve as youth pastor (and wifey). What a drastic change this will be!?! But a blessing that I never saw coming :) Kraig has been struggling off and on for about a year now about youth ministry and his (our) role with youth. He knew he loved teaching at OCA and we both loved serving the youth at Oakwood. Kraig just wasn't sure if there was more to his struggle than just teaching and just serving at the capacity that we were in. So, with lots of prayer and searching the scripture, Kraig knew that we were supposed to do something more. Well, that was that. We didn't pursue anything, we had a lot going on at our church and we were just getting into the swing of things and really enjoying our youth. About January...I guess... L O N G S T O R Y short ....Kraig got a call from a pastor that I have known probably as long as I have been in the Chickamauga area...and Kraig met thr...

Update...Birthdays, MaryKay and thrift finds

Thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday!  It was a great day.  My grandmother came for a visit.  She brought beautiful flowers and some other nice gifts.  Kraig also got me wonderful flowers and box of Gobstoppers.  :)  He still knows the way to my heart ~ a box of Gobstoppers.  He also has set me up with a massage later.  :)  I am real excited about that.  And dinner this weekend, I think.  I don't know but I know he spoils me :)  I love him.  I'm so thankful for all the phone calls and messages yesterday.  It was a truly great day....thanks and this has been the best blessing/birthday gift ever :) Here's my little guy just relaxing.  Rett getting to meet his new buddy, Truett.  Kelly and Julie welcomed their little bundle of joy last Friday evening.  They are going to be close buds, we can tell already.  :) I can't wait to get my hands on this little guy and snuggle him. ...
