before my baby wakes...

before my baby wakes up i just have to write this. she is napping on a pillow on my lap while i catch up on my blogging and do my email devos.

she normally eats every 2 hours. but it had just been one hour and i could see her making little fish lips with her mouth, rooting they call it, but she was totally asleep. so i fed her and she ate while she was sleeping. isnt that amazing! and she kept right on sleeping.

its a good thing adults can't do that, we have a hard enough time not eating when we shouldn't when we're awake, if we could eat when we're sleeping that would be crazy! you wake up and there's a blender with a some left over breakfast smoothy beside your bed...hmmm. (and of course i know that we CAN eat when we're sleeping, intravenously in the hospital, but i mean real food, like my baby eats).

Your story about feeding Diedre while she was sleeping reminded me of this verse, "In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat for while they sleep He provides for those He loves." Psalm 127:2
