THANK YOU!

First of all, thank you for praying that we would have a good night last night. I am going to be a little hypocritical here, and talk about the good night we had - but remember, this is following a string of almost two weeks of BAD nights! We went to our friend's place last night, and came home around 9:00pm when James needed to eat. He fell asleep on the way home, so we just put him in his room in his carseat. He woke up at 3:00am! I nursed him, and then put him in his crib where he slept another full 4 hours! It was beautiful! God is so good, and I'm so thankful he blessed us with a night of rest before the big day today. We badly needed it. We are not sure why James slept so well, but we closed a door into our garage where our cats can usually come and go during the night. This part of the house is right next to James' room, and we are wondering if the spring-time mating calls of the cats have been waking him up. No clue - but we'll try again tonight.

Thank you also for your words of wisdom and empathy as far as James' sleeping and nursing goes. Sometimes it just feels better to know you are not alone. I love how someone commented that they hoped we would soon figure out our little "weirdo"! We laughed at that - babies are TOTALLY weird. I think that James is definately teething. He has a tonne of drool, and he WANTS to nurse but starts to cry. Seems like it may be a top, front tooth. Does that make sense? I thought the bottom ones come in first. Anyway, I think you guys are right on about that. I also appreciate the constipation advice. I'm going to try orange juice tonight. Thank you for making me feel normal.

Thanks also for your support and prayers for James' baby dedication. It was a great day, and the service was really nice. We had the church filled with our family and friends - it was so special! We will continute to pray for you as well, and we love you all. Unfortunately, our photos of the dedication didn't turn out well - but here we are anyway...
