There have been times shortly after I've checked him (find no IOB) and then less than an hour later I wake to the sound of his chomping jaws! <br />Glad you were there to quickly treat and allow your son the chance to rest a bit longer :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210820513382353417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-47321821924712681532012-10-31T10:02:15.365-07:002012-10-31T10:02:15.365-07:00Justin drinks imaginary juice...

Had a similar experience last night as I woke up in panic and knew that I needed to test my son, who by the way is 21 and home from college. I am thankful for my mother's intuition that I have been blessed to have through a loving Heavenly Father. I know that you have also been blessed with this and your boys are so lucky to have you. Sending you my thoughts and prayers. <br /> Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03065230384178549359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-18277969577960219492012-10-30T10:58:12.338-07:002012-10-30T10:58:12.338-07:00Beautifully said!!!

One time he was even sitting up at the table, still asleep, as his lips searched for his next bite. He always feels let down the next morning when he realizes he didn't get to "enjoy" his snack due to not waking up.

When we have "bad" nighttime lows, I always know right away when I go into Lily's room because she's "sleep-eating" her hand! Our precious babies have no idea just how much we're willing to sacrifice for them.

I think it's the darkness. The stillness. The quiet. It makes my mind wander and my heart ache. Sending BIG hugs to you and your boys. :)kristina proffitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08787338543579881170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-14198235565511405522012-10-30T09:42:51.190-07:002012-10-30T09:42:51.190-07:00You've made treating a night time low into a t...You've made treating a night time low into a thing of beauty!
