With each pregnancy I fear what will happen to my already neurologically challenged body, I fear that I will come out on the other side, more sick, and less capable than I was when I began. But I'll tell you what, pregnancy, though a thorn in my flesh for 10 months, has proved to have some sort of healing component to it. Just 7 weeks post pardom, I feel nearly as good as I did just before I became pregnant a year ago, and for those that follow my blog, you will know that that is a miracle. I feel fantastic, I am not 100%, I doubt I ever will be, but geez I have 2 kids now and am surviving, not only surving, but enjoying it, and cherishing it, when just 3 years ago I could hardly get out of bed and used a wheel chair more often than not! We could say the bettering of my health has to do with the balancing of hormones after pregnancy, or we could just face the fact that the Lord saw fit for me to feel better in this season, and that it was nothing outside of Him that could make me feel this good. What a praise report that is right? I am also sleeping better than I ever have .... go figure ... maybe my 14 year run at insomnia is coming to a close?
We feel like we are finally getting into the swing of things. Some days though I feel like I am still drowning in the chaos, juggling a crying baby and a needy potty training toddler, who is in the "whats this momma? why momma?I want to tell you everything I've ever seen or done with you looking directly at me every second momma" stage. Oh but I love them more than anything. My patience definitely runs out quicker now, and I have for sure had my share of freak outs and dramatic moments, but really, every bit of chaos is worth it, and it is truly forcing me to cling to the Lord even tighter.
Milestones ...
- River only wakes up once a night to eat!!! Yay!
- Tatum has taken off verbally. It's like I can have normal adult conversations with her. You know, the type of conversations about Mickey and Minnie, and potties and pooping. I'll have to post a video of her telling a story soon, this stage she is in is too funny to let slip by.
- River is cooing and smiling a ton now. Oh he's so sweet, such a gentle boy.
- We are out of the, how do we go out in public with two kids without our worlds falling apart, stage. Now we just go, and deal with whatever comes our way. I'll say we have been doing pretty well at it. Most of the time ;)
Till next time, there's your update.
