1) Childbirth and recovery ain't easy. Enough said.
2) Having a morning cup of coffee doesn't have the same meaning anymore. It really consists of trying to hold a cup of hot liquid while simultaneously holding a crying baby and trying to use one hand to soothe him as I I try to take a few sips to start the day.
3) Showers are a privilege. Shaving is a luxury.
4) Alone time is non existent. Yet, I don't really want to leave baby's side anyway.
5) Will I ever get 8 hours of sleep again? Somehow though, I'm surviving.
6) Someone else is more important than me. My needs are secondary.
7) Meals are meant to be eaten one handed and quickly, if at all.
8) When in doubt, sing. Make up words. Make up songs. Hopefully no one else besides that sweet baby is listening, but if it works, it works. Just do it.
9) My little love changes everyday. Clothes that fit yesterday don't fit today.
10) Baby cuddles really are the sweetest thing in the world.
11) Its a struggle whether or not to wake a sleeping baby to eat. He looks adorable, and it's so peaceful. Does he really need to eat right now?
12) His smiles are worthy of a celebration.
13) Tracking pees and poops become second nature.
14) Changing my own baby's diaper really isn't gross at all.
15) Going out of the house is an event. Somehow I can overpack yet still forget something.
16) Pjs are the daily work attire.
17) Chores should be done at lightning speed if I want to get them done at all.
18) God made this tiny little miracle, and He entrusted me with it. How crazy awesome is that?
19) This season may be challenging but it's ever so sweet and short. As I look down at my precious miracle, I'm reminded that it won't be like this for long & I want to soak up every moment.
20) I truly have the best job in the world!
That is sweet. You sound so happy even though you are a tired mommy. My daughter is 3 and I still love her smiles and hugs and watching her sleep. She makes my day better even when she is throwing a fit about going to bed.
ReplyDeleteAs I read I can almost hear your voice. I so much want to respond with love in my heart..."I know..."
ReplyDeleteEach moment of breathing is new and significant. True priorities, from God's perspective, are clearly defined. From PJ's to a much needed test...He has it all lined out in the Instructions Manual. The Holy Bible. One day, these writings you have blogged will serve a greater purpose . . . to "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."
Gideon will want to read these thoughts some day. Take a photo of yourself to add along to the writings.
