woke up this morning with the "oh Woe is me attitude." Micah and Jacob were up all night, one was screaming for milk and the other was just wanting his way. Even though I have not had a good nights sleep in 4 years, a still small voice reminded me of just how blessed I really am...You see, some women would give anything to hear their little ones crying in the night, waking up ever hour just for attention, or maybe a glass of milk because they are thirsty.
I know women who have never had the opportunity to wake to a screaming baby, or fussing children at all.
I have a dear friend, his sister has been missing for over a month now. She was 8 months pregnant when she went missing. She knows what a sleepless night is. My heart is sad because it is so easy to get caught up in the "poor pitiful me" syndrome when actually, we are blessed and don't even realize it.

:thumbsup:

I know what you mean. When I was up through the night feeding my two little ones I never felt like it was a burden-I felt so blessed to be doing it.

Hope you have a better night tonight, sleepwise.


thank you:hug:

It was horrible on the birth club forum I am on as there were so many happy and healthy babies being born, my DS being one of them ... and there were a few beautiful babies that were too good to be on earth =(

Has there been any news on your friend's sister? That must be so horrible that she has gone missing ... even more knowing that she is pregnant ... I hope that all is okay x x
