The Waiting Game

Hello Friends! So glad you are joining me today! This is just an update on what's going on with the Beckles at the cottage. First, and as the title suggests, we are patiently waiting for miss Zoe to sleep through the night! I kind of promised myself that I would take a break from most things social until Zoe was sleeping through the night. Having babies in your 40’s and still being able to show up in your life requires a certain amount of rest.😊 I assumed that would be at around 8 months to a year. 

When will we parents learn that each child is different and each experience unique! 

All of my other babies would sleep through the night from about 6 - 8 months old. Let me define “sleep through the night” for all of the new mamas. In my experience, that means from their 10 o’clock/12 o’clock nursing session to their 5 o’clock/7 o’clock nursing session. Usually my babies would nurse and then go back to sleep in their crib after their morning feeding.  This is not Zoe’s story!

She still wakes at least twice a night and demands to nurse. She has a beautiful crib that she now has learned to tolerate napping in; otherwise she sleeps with us. I’m just wait for my husband to say that she has been officially kicked out.

Zoe is currently 14 months old, and shows no desire to stop her night feedings; even when she eats dinner with us.  I decided to break from my blogging fast to give a little update and to tell you that I’m not giving up…just still in transition from surviving to thriving. I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel; so I hope to be retuning to you all soon. Thank you for sharing your time with us and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day/evening.

These are a few pics of our gingerbread house competition fun.😁

Until next time,
