As of a couple weeks ago, my state of being was less than pathetic. I had a mini-breakdown/panic attack/good crying session infront of my wonderful friend Trish. I was having a reeeaaaally hard time with Josiah and I was at my whit's end. I had been feeling really strongly that I needed to have someone come in a help me. That sounds so lame, but it was really bad. Josiah is almost six months old and he was just a MESS; he was waking up through the night like fifty times and not napping and not eating when he should and crying for no apparent reason. Needless to say, it was taking a huge toll on me, physically and emotionally. So, after racking our brains, Trish and I decided to call for reinforcement! Our friend Gretchen came over two Saturdays ago and observed me and Josiah and with such wisdom that God has graced her with, she gave me some very simple solutions that I just couldn't see for myself and the results are nothing short of miraculous! Seriously!
Josiah has been taking, roughly, a TWO HOUR NAP almost every morning and eating well and napping again in the afternoon (once or twice - we haven't yet worked out all the bugs) and then GOING TO BED, like for real! He has an actual bedtime! And he's been waking up only once to eat most nights!!! He is so happy! He is the sweetest boy and I'm enjoying him so much more now that my hair isn't constantly sticking up straight! So (with a shoutout to my sweet friend and my wonderful husband and GRETCHEN)......
THANK YOU, JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh, my sweet sweet friend, you mean so much to me and I'm so thankful to Jesus that Josiah is doing so much better! Bring on the shopping!!! :)
