Is it not amazing how fast time flies once you are no longer pregnant and the baby in your womb becomes the baby in your arms.
How life has changed, how much more love do I have in my heart, how much more satisfaction I have from each day, she has blessed me abundantly, I love her... LOTS!
I even enjoy the snuggles in the midst of the night whilst the house is silent, the train workers are crashing and smashing things and all are sleeping.
Avigail is awake one to two times a night for feeding and cuddles. She is now even letting me put her straight back to bed after feeding instead of making me stay up for an hour for cuddles and burping. Have I mentioned that I love her?... LOTS!
In ways I am blessed to know with experience and understanding how the newborn stages are so short that I am enjoying every moment, every cuddle, every coo, every smile, every feed, every burp, every spew, every day, every night, every baby pose, everything about her... Why? Because I lover her... LOTS!
I do not yet know if she will be my last baby or if the Lord will bless me/us with another or more but my heart rests knowing that He knows the desires of MY heart and he Loves me all the same. So I cherish the time that I have not knowing if she is my last... I love her... LOTS!
The days are free flowing and changing from peace to chaos in moments and back to peace just as quickly. The washing piles up, the dishes pile up, the sand in the carpet piles up, and the to do list grows as quickly as children. Yet at the end of the day when the fight is over I sigh my last sigh and I know that it is worth it... Because I love them all... LOTS!
[Some days being a mum to lots of little kids is overwhelming, exhausting, tiring. Sometimes it feels like you are running a race. Each step is dragging and pulling your retaliating foot from behind you and stamping it in front of you, EACH AND EVERY STEP... Why? To get to the END, to Finish The Race,... See, we spend alot of time in training, discipling, loving, teaching, to be better people and yet some of these actions won't be "SEEN" until they are old/er, until they are adults, until they mature. My Hope? Is that the decisions that I make on a day-to-day are beneficial for all involved. Just need to harvest that "Quiet & Gentle Spirit"]
5 Things I am Thankful for:
1. My Baby Avigail {Father's Joy} Shiloh {His Gifts}
2. Sister in Laws...
3. Hubby running errands with me on the weekend in his only time off for the WEEK
4. Smiles & Coos
5. Constant reminders and inner feelings - that THIS {being a mum} is rewarding and worthy
