Hi Ladies,

Must humbly ask for prayers. This is baby #6 and one would think I would be able to 1) handle lack of sleep and 2) figure out how to "help" baby sleep more.

After six months, neither is true. I just erased most of this post because I don't need to explain myself, I just need to ask for prayers for more sleep. Please pray for more sleep for me and baby.

My whole family thanks you!

Blessings,
DeAnn

Praying for you. Have you considered allergies as a cause for the poor sleep (that is if you are breastfeeding)? My 20mo is a horrible sleeper and I think it is because of her allergies. I am in the process of cutting them out of my diet in hopes of the two of us getting some sleep.

Thanks so much ladies.   As much as I argue with myself about asking for prayer...especially for something that just about every single one of you struggles with...I am always tremendously blessed!

I got a whole four hours of sleep in a row last night! I can't remember the last time I slept that many hours in a row. If I can get a few more days of consistently good sleep, then my family might not be so scared of me in the mornings!

Many Blessings to you all! Keep praying for a few more days if you don't mind.

Peace of Christ,
DeAnn

P.S. Just to clarify, I'm not pregnant. Baby is six months old and not sleeping very well.

Dear DeAnn

So happy to hear you got some sleep - I prayed for you each time I woke last night. I will be praying tonight too. (please pray for me to sleep too!!)

I have been meaning to come online and check in with you all day - so glad you updated. God is good!
