We had no idea how good we had it. Before his surgery, Benjamin was sleeping 8 to 10 hours per night, generally with one wake up break (just to keep us honest).
These days, little man just can’t quite get comfortable unless someone is holding him. It’s a great arrangement for him, and he is still getting 8 hours or so, but we are holding him for 3 of those hours (at least), in the middle of the night.
I was convicted last night that I don’t pray nearly enough for the little guy, and when I do pray it is often very general, virtually unanswerable prayers. So today I prayed specifically for him to start getting comfortable enough to sleep on his own, and for us to be able to sleep well.
I have gone back on campus some this week, leaving Jacqueline to care for our newly high-maintenance little guy. Pray for her especially during this time.
