Well... Presley is no longer sleeping in her swing and is now in her bassinet for all nap times and night time. She is gradually shifting her sleep schedule from 10-7 with a feeding in between to 8-6with a feeding in between. We just started supplement 2 oz. of formulas in afternoon feeding which seems to be going ok. I am trying to slowly prepare us for going back to work. For example I could totally give her a pumped bottle at night...but when I go back to work I will definitely want to breast feed for that feeding. So I am giving it to her in the afternoon because that is when she Will eventually have to take a bottle.
In church on Sunday as I was thinking about all these things in my life right now and I was asking the Lord to help little Presley nap better in the day and sleep longer at night and I really felt like the Lord was saying to ask for rest, resting in Him and not sleep. In fact I rarely feel the effects of little sleep...I think as a mom you don't need as much but it takes a while for you to realize you don't need 7-8 hours a night anymore. So that is what I am asking for, that I would rest in him.

Insightful. I think that no matter how much sleep I have, I have to be reminded to find my rest in Jesus. Love what you write, Kathleen.
