We were so excited that Mrs. Brandy Jaggers came to do Anne Elise's newborn pictures. I've had so many people ask me if I've taken a million pictures of her, and to be honest, other than with our iPhones, neither one of us really have. It's sad, but when I come home from sessions, all my equipment goes back into the safe and I really don't like pulling it all out just to snap 1 or 2 pictures. I've pulled out my old Canon Rebel, dusted it off, and started doing a few snaps here and there, and I've tried to be intentional about taking more pictures of her. I don't want her to have to scroll through our old iPhones to see pictures of her growing up. We are so thrilled that Anne Elise started sleeping through the night at 7 weeks! Yes, that's right! 7 weeks! What a blessing from God. I think he knew mommy was ready for some sleep. I read the BabyWise book and after trying it out for 2 weeks, I was so upset.
She just would not fit into the descriptions of the book. So I was a little upset, and told all my pregnant friends how terrible the book was. After a few weeks, I pulled the book back out, and tried the routine again. It worked! She started sleeping better, and she was much happier when she was awake (sorry to all my neighbors who had to listen to her scream as we strolled). The poor girl was never happy until she got into her "babywise" routine. I think the Lord was teaching me patience.

I must say we are both SO thankful for our church, MOPS (moms of preschoolers FBC Tupelo), and my mom's small group at Lawndale Pres. Everyone has been such a blessing with their help, words of wisdom, meals, prayers, and so much more. My mom's small group has taught me so much about lifting each other up in prayer, and sharing what is on your heart.
I am so thankful for each of the girls in that group. They all have been a blessing to me. It's amazing when we get together. I strongly believe their is a direct line to God in the room. It's unreal to see how he works in each of our lives. He has taught me so much about the power of prayer. Thanks be to God!
