Roman usually sleeps through the night almost every night at 8 months until 5:30-6am. Last night he woke up crying and instead of letting him self-soothe, I got his paci and carried him into bed and he was back asleep in 5-10 minutes. The blog I had been reading minutes before was about a mom who had a stillbirth with her third baby. Yes, she has 2 healthy kids, but what a HORRIBLE experience that I can't ever imagine. After reading her entry, I just wanted to comfort my son, and felt blessed he is here with us. This post hit home lol.

There are times when I just want to roll over and sleep another hour...but Gavin has other ideas. And those ideas are waking up to a brand new day and wondering what he gets to learn about today. Why would you want to sleep when you can do THAT? It happens to all of us and it's OK. Hope those little guys are doing well! Thank you for the reminder of perspective.

Parenting is a HARD job- we all need a break. Don't feel guilty!! When you get those quite times, it allows you to recharge and be a better mother/father... And it doesn't hurt when you get a smile from them as a pay-off.

After being up from midnight to 3 AM with my guys, who are normally decent sleepers, after falling asleep at 11. I'm off to make up for it now with a nap/snuggle fest.

But it was during Private Practice. (And I went ahead and deleted it off the DVR.) Otherwise, it was the same: huffing, smiling, remembering the "empty" days, gaining perspective. It's a beautiful thing, isn't it? We had a very similar moment tonight. But it was during Private Practice. (And I went ahead and deleted it off the DVR.)

I have many days when I am at my wits end with my kids but then I remember how precious these early years are and how in about 13 years I'll wish I took advantage of these times. I hope the little guys feel better from their shots! Great post to read when us moms (and dads) are feeling like we don’t want to be our positions!
