It’s the small things 🙌🏻

My daughter is tough. Like really really tough. She’s my first and has seriously made me question everything. She loves to scream and right now loves to fight sleep. A few days ago she screamed for 2.5 hours with no let up. She doesn’t have reflux, not colicky, not in pain, nothing is wrong with her; she just screams and nothing will soothe her. I joke with my husband that I may never have more kids since she’s really put us through the ringer.

But last night after screaming for 40 minutes I just laid her on my chest and hummed and rocked her. She actually quieted and fell asleep within 10 minutes. I was thrilled. Tonight, same thing. This may not always work but for right now it is working and I’m calling it a win!

Motherhood is 100xs harder than I ever thought but I’m learning to count my blessings and enjoy the small things. Tonight I’ll call that my victory of the day while I curl up on the couch with my little girl since that’s the only way she’ll sleep 😅 that’s my next “little thing” to work on.
