Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for...

- Ava, who decided to start sleeping through the night a couple weeks ago.  Like the whole night.  All the baby books define "sleeping through the night" as a five hour stretch, which she's been doing for months.  But that's not how I define it.  If you have to get up in the middle of the night, then you're not sleeping through the night.  I've been dreaming of this milestone for the past six months.  Actually, not dreaming of, because in order to dream you have to sleep, but you get the point.  Ava's been going to bed around 7pm and sleeping until around 7am.  PRAISE. THE. LORD.  I feel like a totally different mom now.  I am refreshed, energized, and ready to take on the world (or a six month old baby, whatever)!

The trials of parenthood! There are so many along the way, some easier than others, but all challenging. This is a big one for you!
