Parenting

Last night was one of the worst with Alana...a true nightmare!  She woke up after being alseep for a few hours and was crying sooooo hard she was inconsolable.  It was almost scary because she has never done that before.  It took both of us over 2 hours to get her back to sleep and we still don't know what the deal was!  As I was sitting there with her, totally clueless, I was thinking about what it's like to be a first time mom.  I thought it's like driving in a place you've never been before, you are lost and you spilled coffee on your map.  You just pray and hope you get there safe and on time or at least not too late.  For me, however, it feels a little more like driving in Europe, in a rented car at night and it's raining...on top of the above mentioned situation!  Hoping for a better night tonight!
