I was already feeling encouraged and celebratory over the ever-so-little smiles that Miss Molly has been treating me to these past few days, but today, I'm celebrating again...
this time, over SLEEP... glorious SLEEP!
My sweet girl slept 7 1/2 hours STRAIGHT last night!
When she finally woke at 7 am, I fed her, re-swaddled her, and put her back down for another 3 hours!
That meant that I actually got to take a shower without hearing a screaming baby in the background. I even shaved my legs! And when I stepped out, this is what I saw...
Yep! A wide-eyed baby girl that was NOT crying!
As if that weren't enough to celebrate, there was more...
I put her in her crib and she watched her mobile for nearly 20 minutes! I made ALL the beds, unloaded the dishwasher and put on clothes that did not resemble pajamas! And that, my friends, is a major accomplishment these days!
Oh... did I mention that all of this happened on a morning that I happened to be watching two extra little ones? Maybe God gave me that little gift of sleep knowing that I would need it today, or maybe Miss Molly is taking a turn for the better.
Either way, I'm celebrating today!
And the vanilla Oreo's... well, they are a part of the celebration and are almost gone!
