Your own children you learn how to soothe them. Another persons baby is foreign to me and I feel I can not help that child. Also agree on the sleep. The first 10 months I feel like I'm sleep walking. I've always been the person who had to go home and get 8-9 hours of sleep a night. But the nice thing is I have not heard of anyone dying from lack of sleep. Praying for your family during this time of change.Brenda Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10885646641346329271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350388806581742644.post-74471791778271676992009-07-16T11:19:36.138-07:002009-07-16T11:19:36.138-07:00Although I don't have a newborn quite yet, I f...Although I don't have a newborn quite yet, I for one can hardly wait to hold this little baby that I can actually call my very own. I'm the one who always can't wait to hold the new little baby that's in the room and have always dreamed about the day I would have one of my own. Ask me in December what I think of newborns, but for now I'm grateful God gave us the opportunity to have this experience, something other will never get the chance to have.<br />That said, praying for you Kate as you enter this year of unplanned schedules and hoping maybe Sam will be your miracle baby that sleeps!!!

We are so much alike, my friend. Sam will be Sam, and you will love him whether he sleeps or not. And as you reminded me....the first six months will be over before you know it.

The family all tried to get me to hold my nephew hours after he was born and I wanted nothing to do with it! I will say that it's changed a LITTLE bit since I had my girl... I was blessed on the sleep front. I went back to work when she was only 9 weeks old and the thought of functioning at school short on sleep was traumatizing to me. After one week back she began sleeping through the night. I don't know what I would have done otherwise!<br /><br />Aren't we still waiting for one last belly picture? :)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152736211118088492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350388806581742644.post-14623875379408995452009-07-14T23:13:52.323-07:002009-07-14T23:13:52.323-07:00Kate, I think a lot more people probably agree wit...Kate, I think a lot more people probably agree with you more than they are brave enough to own up to. Your honesty is so refreshing! :) And, as for the sleep thing, I SO feel your pain. From 3-5am this whole past week, I feel that pain (& my "baby" is 19 months). Arg. Hang in there.
