Well, I think I am becoming more comfortable with being a mom. I had a friend who gave me some really good advice. She said that babies need lots of sleep and that when they are cranky, it is time to put them down for a nap. She also told me that she nurses her baby, plays with her baby until it starts getting cranky, and then it is in bed for a nap. I have tried that this week and it has worked!!! I have figured out when she needs a nap. I also let her cry for a little bit and she fell asleep by herself! I can't believe how simple but soooooooooooo important that advice is. Makenzie and I are going to Tulsa tomorrow (sorry Feather). We had to leave that date because the flights on Saturday were all booked for frequent flyer tickets. I can't wait to see my family. It does make it hard being so far away. And, now with Makenzie, I want her to get to know her grandparents, aunt, uncles, and cousins! Hopefully, hurricane Ike will not disrupt the flights. I will keep the people on the coast in my prayers. How scary it must be!

I hope you have a great trip. I'm so glad you had a good week. It took 2 months for me to feel "normal" and have some confidence in being a mom. Do call when you get back so we can get together. Love, Laura
