Being Tired Is Part of Parenting
That’s my conclusion this sleepy Tuesday morning. 
Confession #1: Christian is watching Baby MacDonald while I type this post.
Confession #2: I haven’t washed the breakfast dishes yet.
And in reference to confession #1, seeing shots of tractors, fields, and harvests makes me miss Ohio!

I’ve been struggling with insomnia the past several weeks, so last night I decided to just stay up late and hopefully fall asleep right away, rather than lying in bed for hours, but it backfired and I still couldn’t fall asleep after I finally tried – and then Christian decided to wake me up at 2:30.
So I’m getting a little preview of the newborn days!
I’m learning how to survive the tired days little by little, which is good, because there are a lot of them still to come.
The Lord gives strength, even when I feel guilty for not having everything just so.
You’re so sweet, and this is such a nice reminder that not everyone has everything just so. Confession: I DID do the dishes last night…but they were about two and a half days worth. -sigh-
Here’s a ((hug)) from a fellow insomnia sufferer. 
I don’t recall sleeping a wink last night. I’m coming to the end of One Thousand Gifts–what I read this morning, and your reminder of grace-for-the-weary is refreshing confirmation that He’s good, even when my sink is grimey. Thanks 
I’m so sorry you’re experiencing insomnia. It’s really difficult during pregnancy especially.
You poor thing! That’s awful. I’ll say a little prayer that you’ll get some restful sleep tonight!
Thanks so much!
I’m not a coffee drinker (don’t like the taste) but nothing has tempted me more to make myself like it than motherhood.
And I’m pretty sure that not being able to sleep while your husband and baby are sleeping just fine is about the worst. Hope you start sleeping better soon!
Thank you! When Christian was a newborn I started really loving coffee.
I understand the insomnia. I did not have any sleep problems when pregnant with Cora but this time around am having way more…but I keep reminding myself I won’t be sleeping at all with a newborn!
Sleepy Tuesday morning over here as well! It is amazing how He can keep us going even when our energy tank is on E.
