Thank you, Lord.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for all these beautiful days with Bunny together. For our sweet mornings when I turn off her fans and sing The Good Morning to You song and she’s so happy to be alive. For playing on the floor together and looking at books. For her little laughs when I blow kisses at her. How excited she gets when I take her clothes off her bath time. How she smiles when she sees Daddy. How she kicks and wiggles and bats at her little friends when she’s in her bouncer seat. How serious she is and curious when seeing new people and being in new environments. How much she loves crunchy paper and toys that make noise. Her beautiful round blossom peach face and beautiful blue eyes and beautiful smile and happy happy grin. Her tiny hands and tiny toes and her big fat belly and

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

Mom thoughts: six months

Dear Bunny,

How is it that I am now the mother of a 6-month-old? I’m currently lying on the floor doing my stretches because I have sciatica. I’ve had a bad flare up since you were about 4 and 1/2 months old. It’s been coming and going, and physical therapy helps, but it’s very obnoxious and at times very painful. You have really pushed me to my limits in so many ways, Bunny girl. At times, I think my heart will explode with how much I love you and how I long to be with you all the time. I miss you when you’re asleep. I look at pictures and videos of you when you are napping and at night time. I love you so so so much little one. You’ve changed my life in the best way possible and I am eternally grateful that God has given you
