Newborn Care

Jebers is crying it out right now.  It's breaking my heart!!!  It's the only way my babies seem to get to sleep.  You would think I would be hardened to it by now after nine children.  But if anything it gets harder every time.  My mother, mother-in-law, the experts, the books, and my own experience all say it is the way to train a baby to sleep at night.  But it is so hard to listen to a sweet, little baby cry.  Everything in me wants to run and comfort him.  However, my body can't keep getting up every hour and a half.  If I could just get a three or four hour chunk of sleep I would be so pumped.  Newborns are so precious!  I love my little ones dearly, but this stage along with pregnancy push me to my physical limits. Which is wonderful!  Because when I don't have any more energy and feel I can't go on I pray and Heavenly Father always blesses me with enough energy (sometimes more than I need) to go on.  He is teaching me to rely on Him.
