Well, the Baby is 9 months old now, I guess it’s time for a new post
April 1st, 2010Today is a monumental day, Anna Maria is 9 months old. She is crawling, babbling, she cut two teeth last week, and is a bundle of fun. The other kids adore her. I see such a maternal instinct in both Evelyn and Mya. They really look out for her as well as their other little sisters. Peter is a proud big brother. He gets super grossed out over spit up, which is very funny, and poopy diapers are something he can do without. He does love to hold her, rock her, and he will feed her if he is asked to. The other very nice change in our lives is, I have gotten a full nights sleep for almost three days. It is finally happening, Anna Maria is really sleeping through the night. I have never had a baby that woke during the night for as long as she has. I could get all frustrated over this, but instead i see it a little differently. Anna Maria is probably my last baby, and they are babies for such a short time. Instead of being annoyed I am choosing to cherish every minute.
Wow, 9 months old, where did the time go?

I realize this is an old post. I remember when Brenna woke for her 2am feeding. Being an older 1st time Mom, I realized I wouldn’t have many babies. I really cherished those nightly times together. Most people do complain about them…I think I’m one of the few that loved them! Don’t get me wrong, I am a fan of sleep! Just a bigger fan of family!

Jennifer, AnnaMaria was my only baby who didn’t sleep through the night by 12 weeks. She woke me every night for over 10 months. I remember telling my doctor about this and asked what I should do. He told me to relax. She was only going to be a baby for a short time, she misses you and loves you, pick her up, nurse her, and enjoy her. That was good advice. I did just that and I don’t regret one minute of lost sleep. i love that doctor.
