...in the morning! i can't believe it! God is good. now that maeve is turning one, she has been sleeping longer stretches in the night and i've only woken up to nurse her when i see the sun rise. Of course my care group has been praying for almost a year for Maeve to sleep! my long-suffering prayer warriors!! for the first time ever since maeve was born, i actually slept long enough to dream. sure, many others who train their babies to sleep when they were 3 months have been sleeping blissfully, but i totally abandoned the sleep training, not in my personality, and chose to let her learn to sleep naturally. and she finally did it! we've also put her in a little sleeping bag so she can't kick the blanket off (and kick us for that matter)at night. HOWEVER, she has taken to sleeping on my face, cheek to cheek, all very sweet it looks, but not when she slam-dunks herself on me at 3am, grabbing fistfuls of my hair in her dreamy state and doing the occasional lick/suck on my cheek, forehead, nose...cherished love-bites from my little pumpkin.
