I want to tell you that ...I want to give you a hug. I want to tell you that these hard days soon become better days. I want to tell you how many times I felt this way. How many journal entries I wrote to my kids, letting them know I DO love them. Telling them I hope my sad, frustrated face isn't something they remember when they're older. How many times I prayed and asked God to give me that ease and comfortable confidence in the early baby days, that so many moms I knew had. <br />But all I can really tell you (that will encourage you is) there is joy in the morning. It DOES get better. You and Nick will actually forget the aches and pains of these days (shockingly, you will!) <br />Take it one day at a time. <br />Pray OFTEN.<br />Laugh at as many moments as you can laugh at. <br />Cry when you want to cry. Don't think you have to hold it in. <br />Remember so many Moms are going through very similar things you are. You aren't alone.<br /> I'm proud of you for letting her cry it out tonight - that is SO hard!! <br /><br />Just remember God knows and understands and wants to help you carry these heavy loads. Lay them at His feet and kick your feet up with Maggie :) Take a day where you just eat and relax and smile at each other, even through the tears. <br /><br />Love to you!Stefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06314577454372964927noreply@blogger.com
