motherhood – Thoughts from Blue Eyes

Sacred Moments, Halcyon Days

Dear Bunny,

You are taking your long morning nap and I’m sitting on the couch thinking about you. How you are seven months old (!!) and the light of my whole life. Your dad and I constantly talk about how sweet it is to have you in our lives – you are SO MUCH FUN, with your giggles and smiles and endless entertainment as we watch you do the simplest things. You add color and substance and fullness to our life in ways I never could have imagined.

Right now, our routine is pretty simple. You wake up around 8am. You nurse, then play, then poop, then eat breakfast, then take a bottle and nap for two hours. Then we get you up and play some more, usually trying to go on a walk or an errand together around the neighborhood. I talk a lot with family and do snatches of work

Things God Has Taught Me: Motherhood Edition 1

I was pushing Bun’s stroller down the street, walking with a friend, when she asked me a great question: “What has God taught you since becoming a mom?”

OH, so many things. Recording them here while I have the time.

I need Jesus. All the time. More than I ever thought.

Motherhood is brutally humbling. It’s not about maxing out or reaching your capacity; it’s about falling on the ground with your capacity broken. It’s about crying out to the Lord that you can’t do it anymore, that you’re overwhelmed and you can’t do it. And He gives you your daily bread to keep going. He brings you through. He enables you to do it, one hour and sometimes even just one minute at a time to love and care for this precious little person He has brought into your life.

God loves us through His people.

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
