I usually don't rock Cade to sleep, I think it is important for him to be able to fall asleep on his own. However last night he was in such a cuddly mood I just couldn't resist. He was practicly falling asleep while I nursed and burped him, so when he was finished I snuggled him tight and wrapped a blanket around us both. I began humming and singing him lulaby songs very softly in his ear. He absolutly loved it, if I paused or stopped he would start doing this sad little whimper until I started again! Talk about melt your heart!
Nursing has been such a blessing to me in many ways. One, being the ability to take off my baby weight really fast :), but more importantly it has been such an amazing time for me to pray over Cade and daily give him back to the Lord. Through my prayers and quite time I have been reminded that Cade is my son but ultimately he is the Lords, Cade was given and entrusted to Tyler and I, so I want to make sure that we take every opportunity to seek the Lord for wisdom and dirrection for every part of Cade's life, the big things like developement, health, salvation, and also the little things like sleep and bowl movements (or in Cade's situation, lack of bowl movements).
These are the moments that will forever be etched in my memory.

when I pray over my boy's I pray for their wives, and that I will be able to have an awesome relationship with them. Just throwing that out there as a sugestion to you. LOVE YOU!
Cade, was cuddly in the nursery on Sunday. He really didn't want to get down and play. He wanted someone to hold him. I wonder if his teeth are hurting him? Poor little man.
Megan, you are an awesome mommy and I am so proud of the way you are raising Cade. Your latest blog entry totally made me cry and my heart swell with pride. Keep up the good work.
What a great post! I feel the the Lord knew when he made us that we needed an extra bit of time with our babies...thus, he invented breast feeding. :) I love being able to have that one-on-one time with him!
I would pray the EXACT same thing when I would nurse Landon. It was so amazing and I too will treasure it forever. Its like from the moment I had him I just KNEW that he was God's child that he entrusted to Kirk and I. I looked at him and was like, "I know what I am capable of and I am NOT capable of creating a baby! Thsi is all God! And he PICKED me and Kirk to be his parents. He knew we were his perfect fit...if we seeked HIM in all we did to raise him. And I pray for his wife often, too:) Im so thankful that you are able to experience this also. It is priceless.
~What I learned....
So I was like you, wanting Landon to fall asleep on his own and develop healthy sleeping habits. So I followed all those rules, almost too hard sometimes. But there were times when God showed me, and I am SO thankful he did, that as important as that all is, it isnt whats most important. Time goes so quickly and before you know it he will be too big to rock to sleep. So Megs, rock him. If its on your heart, just do it. As long as its not every night, DO IT. He needs it, you need it, and you will be so greatful for those times. Sometimes we new moms follow the rules a little too much:)
I LOVE YOU...and my little Cade bug:)
this is precious. makes me wanna have a baby. :) in like 10 years of course...and oh yea, with a husband! haha.
