I literally burst into laughter. Are you kidding?? Friday night? I don't even remember what it's like to have a "Friday night"!
But I do remember that "Friday nights"were nothing like this..
I go to bed every night anxious that Molly is going to have trouble falling asleep and keep the neighbors up all night... that something bad will happen to her in the middle of the night. I am even worried that while I'm watching her sleep on her baby monitor that I'm going to see a set of hands reach down and grab her or that I'm going to hear a man's voice in her nursery when Josh is right beside me in bed... yes, I watch too many crime shows. I worry that she may be too hot or too cold. Is she REALLY comfortable in that swaddle thingy?? All this worrying will keep me up, then I realize her feeding time is creeping up and I haven't slept a wink. So, as I try harder to fall asleep the more I stay awake.
That, Joshie, is what it's like going to bed every night.
But despite my worries, she goes straight to sleep without a single cry all night (MOST nights). We've managed to keep the bad guys away. And she hasn't proven to be uncomfortable in that swaddle thingy. Praying this lasts! :)
Bless your heart! I remember being like that and I hate to admit it, but I still will have random nights where I'll wake up in the middle of the night w/ anxiety that some bad man just kidnapped her. And then I have to get up and go check that she's perfectly fine. I don't have monitors anymore b/c she's old enough to come get us if she needs anything, but those worries have never left me. But, your anxiety will improve. I promise. Having a child brings on a whole different extreme of worry but it also brings on a whole different extreme in faith in God. Besides, that's what their guardian angels are for! : )
ReplyDeleteI am glad I am not the only one that worries about her being taken! Thank you for the encouragement. :) I hope you are doing well!!!
