O Child Of MIne

There is a prayer that I pray over him every day called O Child Of Mine.
"O child of mine
May you always know
The Savior's love
Wherever you go

His blessings and grace
Are truly divine,
Love Him always,
O child of mine.

Joey and I are trying to let Jackson fall asleep in his crib and lately he has been very clingy, not
allowing us to lay him in his crib at all. The second we try to lay him down he would start to cry. We decided
to try to let him "cry it out" a little. This was sooooo hard! The only thing I kept doing was praying that
prayer over and over and praying that he wouldn't hate me. He finally went down after about 35 minutes of
screaming, but then slept for 2 and a half hours!!!!!! He wore himself out! This was such a hard thing
for me to do. I didn't think it would be this hard, but I felt so helpless. I couldn't do anything. Sometimes in
the trials of motherhood all you can do is pray.

I remember those days. (We still have them sometimes)It's so hard because you want to do what's best for them, but you also just want to go hold them. It will get easier and will be better for all of you! We can't wait to meet that little cutie!!
