All of us moms can relate Kathleen. I’ll say a prayer for you too. Sometimes these things just feel like they’re snowballing and all you can do is tread water. Hang in there and it’ll pass…

I keep thinking it might be teething…we gave him ibuprofin at bedtime last night. But this morning he also woke up with a very runny nose. Yay. We just got rid of the last one…

Well, he (sort of) slept through last night…at least, I didn’t have to get up. So 1) God answered my prayers to help me feel better, 2) God answered my prayers by sending me you guys. I’m still tired, and he still woke up last night, but at least he put himself back down, and at least I’m able to work today.

Could it be something as simple as teething? Just a thought… that’s usually when mine stopped sleeping well. Tylenol or motrin usually worked well for my kids

Oh Kathleen, I have tears in my eyes. I’m so sorry. I will pray for you, that God will give you wisdom and strength. Motherhood is the biggest job on the planet and such an important one…hang in there, this too shall pass.

A thought is to sling Nicholas to your body (if your back can stand it), sounds like he is having some separation anxiety–my daughter was like that the first year of her life and it was exhausting…I wish I’d have known about strapping her to me so she’d be happy and quiet allowing me to get a few things done.

Regardless, I’m with you Sis and praying for you…Jodi

Oh Kate, I will pray for you. It’s hard to be a mom sometimes!
