i'm a mom

It's 12:28am right now. I'm up because my sweet baby is crying...I'm letting him cry it out. We need to transition past this waking up every few hours (after all he's 7 months old now). He loves to wake up somewhere between 11:30pm and 12:30am every night, which is usually fine because I'm up working....but I'm tired right now and he's still crying. I'm blogging to keep my mind away from his cries. So all I have to say is, it's tough being a mom. Our job never ends, it's continuous, even when we are sleeping and they are sleeping. I am a mom with every breath I take ready to take care of their every need. Because, even though I am not fulfilling his need right now, I am watching his every move on his monitor, listening to his every cry, making sure that he is okay. And even though it's tough being a mom, really, is there anything else that could ever compare? No...there is nothing.

You are meeting his needs by NOT going to get him. As long as you know he is safe, you are doing the right thing by teaching him how to soothe himself and SLEEP. Be good to yourself. XOXO
