Sleeping Angels...



As I was doing my daily reading up on everyone's blogs, I read on Rhett's blog of a wonderful giveaway contest. You can find more about it at 5 Minutes for Mom. It is a photo contest of your sleeping beauties...and the winner gets a new bedroom set!!! When I read about this contest, my heart started beating away. THIS IS PERFECT!!! As of now, Kaden is sleeping in mommy and daddy's bed. I moved him into our room, oh, maybe two years ago when I decided I did not want night nurses anymore and Nate was working night shift. It has worked out pretty well, but here lately Kaden has been talking about sleeping in his own room. However, we have a crib in there still and there is no way he is going to fit in a crib. We also are borrowing a dresser from his nana, so this is a wonderful opportunity for him. If you would like to enter the contest, visit the link above!!!

I am sure a lot of our readers have seen this photo. It is one of my favorites of Kaden sleeping. If you do not know the story...we were still at the Ronald McDonald House while our angel Ava was fighting in the hospital. Kaden at first was not allowed to go in and see his sissy due to the time of year and illness going around. He began to sleep with her picture. One night when we got back from visiting Ava in the hospital, I went in to check on Kaden sleeping and found this (the above picture). I had to snap a few pictures. He loves his sissy so much. We actually had a discussion about her today and he talked about her being in Heaven. I asked him if he knew that she still watches us and protects us and he signed "yes." What a little smartie we have in our lives!!!

Hi! I came across your blog awhile ago and have been reading ever since. My son has a chronic disease and has a central line to manage it. We arent comfortable with him sleeping alone with the IV running so he has been in our room/bed too. Recently we set up a twin bed that someone gave us in our room and made part of our room into his big boy room. He sleeps in his bed and loves it but is still only a few feet from our bed. Despite being completely unconventional (but who cares), it works really well for us!

Take Care and praying for a healthy baby and delivery!

I left you a post last night but I guess it didn't go through so here is my comment. I think that is the most precious picture ever. Kaden is going to be an awesome big brother. He has so much love in him. You don't need to worry about a thing.
