NO MORE SWADDLES...

With much prayer support and a wonderfully strong, supportive husband, Isaac is sleeping without his swaddles. This morning he woke up at about 4am and wouldn't go back to sleep, so David walked out and said, "He's going to cry it out." Yikes, no discussion, just like that, yes, submission is hard sometimes, but this week all the time in God's word and the prayers being sent our way, I have to say, I didn't even grumble, not even in my heart and mind! Huge for me! After 9 years of marriage, I am a little better at submission, but not so much on my face or in my heart and mind, so this morning was a big deal to me. AND...the Lord totally blessed us, Isaac was asleep within 9 minutes. I awoke after 6am to squeals, raspberries and giggles from both the boys. I knew it wasn't going to be over, I had the day of naps ahead of me. So far, not too bad...it only took him 7 minutes to fall asleep for his morning nap. He only slept for 40 minutes which I knew was coming, but then went back to sleep for another 40 with puppy and I was able to grab this shot. The light at the end of the tunnel is now more of a flickering candle than a tiny pin hole. Thanks to all the moms in my MOMS group and the Tues. am bible study group for your prayers! And of course my regular prayer warriors - Donna, Grams and Gma Jan! I feel pretty good with 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
