Late Night Feedings

Jordyn is growing so fast. She is eating and sleeping well. I usually feed her around 8:30 PM and she wakes up at 2:30 AM and 6:30 AM and then we are up for the day around 8:30 AM. Jordyn definitely has a hard time waking herself up. She never cries but grunts and squirms instead. I have to pick her up and change her diaper to get her fully awake.

Some nights when she wakes up I am fine to wake up and don't feel very tired; but there are other times that I feel so exhausted and can't believe we are up again... sometimes it feels like we just laid down. Last night was one of those nights!

I woke up and started feeding her and kept feeling my head bob as I dozed off. I decided it was time to really wake up and pay attention to what I was doing.

I just watched her and was overwhelmed with how precious she is and the joy she brings to my life. As I was watching her she smiled up at me and my heart melted. I am grateful for our late night feedings together where we can share these moments.
