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.

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...

Well - in DUE time all news will come out

I don't even know where to begin... I guess the most recent news would be that we are going to have a surprise visit from the stork in June and it's a BOY! I am sure I will update more later because it being a surprise has come many other surprises that we have had to work through so that is all DUE time. :) Also, I think last I wrote, my dad was being shipped off to Kuwait. Well, he's back and working in Nashville as the Senior Enlisted Leader for the state of Tennessee. He's pretty important. We are so very proud of him. He does his job well. We are trying to buy a house. That's another big thing going on in our lives. Mainly because we have a new addition and we need to be more stablized. Maybe so, maybe not...but we feel like this is the next move that we should make. Now, if only we could find a house :) In DUE time again, I'm sure the Lord will place the perfect house in front of us. So, PLEASE, PLEASE pray we can find something suitable for u...

Funeral, house, and thoughts

Now that I have had a few days to re coop and process the last few weeks and months...I can share some of the thoughts that have crossed my mind in the midst of it all and some of the lessons that I learned from family and Gran the past few weeks. I love my family.  All of them.  My Gran had 8 kids, they had 21 grand kids and now we are working on 20 great grand kids (I hope my numbers are right).  We have a huge family.  We are all different, come from different walks of life now but as my Aunt Dodie said at the funeral, Gran has taught us to love each other and not let strife come between us.  I think we do a pretty good job of loving each other.  I loved getting to sit with my aunts and uncles many nights that we were at Gran's and listen to stories of their childhoods and about their parents.  It was a great time.  We had a very unique few weeks especially leading up to my Gran's death.  Not many people can say that they got to say goo...
