sleep

some nights we have a great night sleep. others, not so much. since letting asher sleep in his crib he has been able to pull 6 hours of sleep before he wakes to nurse. it's wonderful. on the nights where his first nursing is at 1am, i'm elated. i wake to nurse him feeling refreshed. it's amazing that 3 hours of solid sleep can feel so good. but then there's last night...after a wonderful nights rest on sunday, last night was crazy.

he woke for his first nursing at 10pm...he went to bed at 8...i went to bed at 9:50. i hadn't even fallen asleep! then he woke again at 12:45 and then again at 4. after nursing him at 4, he fell asleep as i was rocking him. when i went to place him in his crib, he immediately woke up and started fussing. so i brought him into bed with us to nurse and snuggle. he immediately fell asleep, but did his fuss/sleep where he flails all over the place...he's sound asleep, but i can't be when i'm being kicked and slapped all night. so from 4:30-6 i got very minimal sleep...

i wonder why this happens. why one night can bring such a wonderful sleep and the next such horrible sleep. anyway, i'm hurting today. please pray for numerous naps today. i have a ministry meeting tonight that i have to think at!
