Mom thoughts: Easter
It’s the afternoon of Easter Sunday, and I nursed you to help you calm down to sleep. You rested your head on me so gently and have the most perfect, squishy, trusting face. You know you are loved and cuddled and safe with mommy. I love you so much my heart is bursting. I marvel at your smallness, I rejoice in your existence. I am in awe of all your tiny pieces and parts. I delight in your smile and hurt when you’re sad. I want to hold you in my arms forever. I want mommy to always be comforting and safe. You are my sunshine, my bunny sunshine. I praise Jesus for every moment with you and thank him every day that we can be together. Thank you Jesus for new life physically and spiritually, that death is dead and love has won, that we can have hope and joy
Mom thoughts: five months
We are approaching your five month birthday. You are my joy, Bunny. I wish I had hours to just stare into your face and smile together and laugh and play. We do this all the time but I always wish I had more. I love you, sweet girl. You are so expressive and noisy these days, learning about your voice and all the sounds you can make. Shrieking, growling, and rawring are my favorites! You wake up twice a night now, sometimes three (RIP) since you started this sleep regression a few weeks ago. The Lord helps me and sustains us. I actually feel pretty okay most of the time, usually a tired spell in the later afternoon around 3pm but pretty energized and able to manage most days. I’ve had some aches and pains here and there as you’ve gotten bigger – headaches, shoulder tension for a few days
