For all you new moms: thoughts

Dear friend!

 

I am SO TREMENDOUSLY excited for you. Becoming a mom is an amazing experience, a joy I can’t articulate. Motherhood is the greatest blessing I have literally ever experienced in my entire life. It has been so hard (especially the beginning) and the most challenging thing I have ever experienced too. I feel like becoming a mom deepens your love, your heart, your walk with Jesus in ways you can’t even imagine. I was in the process of collecting my thoughts about everything and wanted to send you some encouragement and wisdom. Totally take it or leave it – just wanted to share with you and literally zero.pressure.at.all. My sister-in-law sent me something similar when I was pregnant and it was really encouraging to me.

 

Please please please reach out to me any time. I want to be available to encourage you, pray for

New mom thoughts: 4/7/25

Oh my love, here we are on April 7th and time is flying. You are so big and fun and sweet…four months have exploded and I can’t believe you used to be so small you could fit on my chest like a little like bean. And now you are lying over my shoulder napping and we are rocking in our chair together. You are my joy. Your chubby thighs and little fingers and beautiful blue eyes and rosy cheeks are my favorite things in the entire world. My heart is desperately full of love and an anxious need to protect you from everything. I want to be able to hold you forever. You are my squishy bunny baby.
I never understood until now how mothers could and do feel about their babies. My life truly feels like it can be divided into two parts, before and after having

New mom thoughts: 12/31/24

It’s early in the morning on New Year’s Eve and I’m sitting here nursing my treasure,  My sweet baby girl. The past 3 weeks have been an absolute blur, The hardest of my entire life. I have never given more of myself. I have never felt more spent and exhausted. I have struggled emotionally and physically. I have felt so alone.
I know that I’m going to get through this. I know that it doesn’t last forever and that I will look back on these times and miss them. She is so little. So uncomplicated. So loved and she doesn’t even know it yet!   I know the Lord is with us. I feel sometimes like I am drowning. I feel like I am in a blanket of anxiety and trapped. Having a baby can make you feel claustrophobic and desperate. It’s mostly just the lack of sleep talking
