4: Sleep

Last night Amelia had her first run-in with the flu.  It was horrible, awful and I felt so helpless.  We were up all night because she was so uncomfortable and so sick. 

So today, I'm thankful for the sleep we do manage to get.  Both of my babies have been pretty good sleepers for the most part, and I'm thankful because I am NOT good on little sleep.  I need at least 6 hours, preferrably 8, though motherhood had definitely shown me I can function with even less than that!

She is feeling better today, so now we just wait and see who is next on the flu bug's list.
