Piper and I have had a hard week sleepwise. The worst night I was up with her 5 times. I've been worrying about my lack of sleep and what I would have to give to both girls during the next exhausted day. Then, today, I read this about second babies...
"Those first babies do the hard work of breaking us in and smoothing off the rough edges of who we thought we would be as mothers. The babies that come after owe an enormous gift of gratitude to those first-borns, I think, because they weather our anxieties, worries, and insecurities. With the babies that follow, we know better than to waste time with worry. Once we get a taste of how fleeting the baby days are, we learn the importance of savoring each moment, drinking in the sweetness of the second."

How precious and how true! They don't stay little long. I will pray that she will feel better soon and you both can get some needed rest.

Praying for a good night for you and sweet P!

Poor mama! I hope this phase passes quickly for you. If it's any consolation, remember that it will be a distant memory very soon, and you'll be on to the next joys and challenges!
