Sleep. I was reading some old posts and remembering how exhausted I was. Sleep was mentioned in nearly every post, and almost every breath of mine for the first 8 months of Norah's life. It's amazing how you really don't realize how much you appreciate something until it's gone.
Don't worry, Norah has been sleeping great. So great, that I almost forgot for a moment how much I appreciated sleep again. That's why I looked back. To remind myself of how thankful and how blessed I am for my pillow and to sleep on that pillow for at least 7 straight hours.
Norah has been sleeping so great, that I've had to wake up her up lately from naps so she doesn't sleep too long. I truly never thought that day would come. However, when I've been going into her room lately I've been finding her in some very interesting sleeping positions....here are a couple I thought you would enjoy.
The "I woke up and wanted to play so I sat up but was still too tired so I just fell over" position.
The "how many binkys can I fit into my mouth....oh i guess I'll just put them all around my face" position.
Oh my goodness, never knew how much I would love this little girl.
Heavenly Father, Thank You for sleep. Thank You for rest and rejuvenation and replenishing energy each night to chase around Norah, and to be a wife each day. Thank You for not letting me take things for granted but for sweetly reminding me of how incredible you are and how intricate you've made us.

The binky picture is the best! That's hilarious! I'm so happy to hear you are all getting some good sleep in your household. If you're like us, you'll get all good and caught up on sleep and then think, "Hey, we should have another baby now because we aren't tired anymore!" And then it all begins all over again (but I swear 2nd and 3rd babies sleep better from the start!) Enjoy that cutie and your sweet slumber. I can't believe she's almost a year old!
