This has been a very trying week for Izzie and me. For almost a week now she has had 2 modes... cry and eat. (notice that sleep was not mentioned) I am not sure what is wrong with her, and the Doctor is not either. Maybe she has reflux-we have medicine for that. Maybe she has colic-we have medicine for that too. Nothing seems to work, though, and sleep deprivation is starting to take its tole on both of us.
Throughout my day long crying spell, (mostly from just exhaustion) I have been thinking about how blessed I am to have the opportunity to feel like this. That sounds crazy I know, but the Lord has been so good to me. I am so thankful to be the mother of this little handful.
This photo was taken today during one of her pseudo naps.

It that??? could it be???? the illusive sleep?!?!?!
You are truly blessed... thank you for sharing that... (((hugs)))
One thing I have learned with my two children. EVERYTHING is a phase. Sometimes they are very short and sometimes very long phases...months even. (hopefully not this one though :)
But one day the babe will have moved out of that phase whether it be one you loved or not, and you may not even notice it.
I promise you. Everything is a phase. So just take it one day at a time and remember that. She will only be this tiny and this needy for such a short time. Then it will be on to something else tomorrow. :) I hope you can take comfort in this.
