I love capturing moments like this, what an angel.....But what you don't see is that she is in my bed right behind my back, I too was asleep. Daddy got up this morning and just had to get a shot of how still and peaceful she was. It really makes you appreciate those days when they didn't stand, or crawl or roll over.
Unfortunately, you didn't get to see both of us in the picture, because im sure you would all love to see who the true queen of the bed is....She had me scooted so close to the edge that there was no more room to move....This has been a trend again lately, just when we thought she was adjusting to the new house she started to have "bed-time" anxiety and once shes up the only way to get her back to sleep is to lay her next to us in our bed....we tried letting her cry, rocking her and putting her back down, and even tried to give her a little extra milk....but the only thing she wants is to be with us. After a couple of nights of waking every 1 1/2 to 3 hours to a screaming baby we finally just allowed it and we are all sleeping a lot better....She is only a baby once, so I figure might as well get all the snuggles I can get. Besides, with as busy as she keeps me during the day, I dont have an ounce of energy in the middle of the night to try and find a different solution.
I have started to get a little nervous about whats to come....and now when someone comments "oh honey, your going to be so busy" or "your going to have your hands full" or "wow, you think your tired now, just wait"....I nearly get tears in my eyes. I am so tired, and busy now that the thought of having another baby to care for on top of it is really making me scared and emotional. I honestly don't know how im going to handle two. Grace is my everything and I have to have ALL my attention on her, especially now that she is standing and pulling up on everything. She may be just learning to walk when Olivia arrives.....Im terrified!!!
