SLEEP!!! It is so important, but many of us ignore this fact… and so many of us are suffering from Insomnia. I can’t recommend this book enough. I read it years ago, and it truly is amazing! I suggest going to your local library or buying it in paperback… a Nook or tablet is just not the same (ESPECIALLY, if you are a night time reader)! I think I may have to read it again myself!
SLEEP message # 2: Nothing warms my heart more than a sleeping baby in my arms.
SLEEP message # 3: When you are a new mom, sleep isn’t always an easy task to complete. If you have a friend or family member that has recently had a baby, even if it is baby number 4, kindly go visit her and her new little blessing. Don’t expect her house to be nice and tidy or for her to wait on you…in my opinion, the best thing you can give that new mama is a few hours to rest- and an already prepared meal is a nice added bonus too!
Sleep message #4. I used to not be able to sleep at night…i just couldn’t turn off the brain. Just ask the husband-3am me: Nudge, nudge, ” Lance…” Husband: “what’s wrong?” Me: ” how do you think the couch would look under the window?”
You would think this would be better after having a baby because of pure exhaustion, but so not the case, until recently. Finally!!! I found something that works! Now, my brain is able to slow down…and my body’s tensions subside…and pure relaxation begins when my head hits the pillow. I tried melatonin, and it didn’t work for me. Lance and I try to only put real food into our bodies and try to limit all the processed stuff. We also try to stay away from medications unless absolutely necessary. So blessed to have found this all natural/organic supplement that has me sleeping like a baby and fully energized throughout the day. On that note, it is time to go and get these two sweet girls ready for their dance rehearsal. BLESSED in more ways than one!
d be good as new in the morning.
