Today was a good day - Anna Claire is such a joy! We are still working hard on establishing the Babywise schedule, but overall, she's doing great. Her naps aren't as long as I would prefer, but hey....
Also, I am trying to help her get accustomed to her crib....she seems to wake up scared. At least at night. She did okay yesterday in there for a nap in themorning, but woke up early, so I moved her to the bassinet to finish her nap b/c she was getting super upset. Last night we laid her down around 7:30 or so and she made it about an hour, but she woke up unglued. Had to feed her to calm her down - just hysterical nearly. Same thing at 9:30 - did okay at first, but woke up extremely upset.....wayyyyy more so than just a cranky wake-up. Funny thing is that the minute we took her from crib crying, and laid her in the bassinet, she calmed right down and went straight to sleep. I think it's just going to take some time and persistence taking short naps in the crib to get her used to it. Oh well, there's really no huge hurry.....she's just outgrowing her bassinet, but that doesn't seem to bother her! :) haha
Every day though Anna Claire seems to be more responsive, more interactive - what a joy she is!
I talked with another Minister's wife tonight - it was disturbing to me.....the verse about young widows should marry so that they do not become idle gossips and busybodies kept ringing in my ears. Although I know her heart was to protect her husband, I was reminded anew that GOD has to protect my husband. Made me think that there is no way that I would want her as a staff wife where we serve.....and that's not something I'd ever want something to think about me. God may it never be true of me.....
