in gratitude…
Just a quick post to thank my parents and my mother-in-law for all the help they have given us recently. I have been amazed over and over again how wonderfully taken care of my children and I have been. Thank you, thank you everyone for all the helpfulness and kind thoughts. God has truly held me in His hand at every moment.
My past 2 pregnancies, I have worried constantly (and needlessly) about what to do with the boys if I needed to go to the hospital unexpectedly. Who would take care of them? What if it was in the middle of the night? Would I have to deliver without my husband beside me? Now the worries are ended. Everything has worked out beautifully.
Monday will be my first day “on my own” with the 4 kiddos, and I know we’ll have those moments where I’ll be nursing, the 1yo will be climbing up to the top bunk of the bunkbed, the 3yo will be needing his bottom wiped in the bathroom, and the 5yo will be asking me why the Native Americans were told to live on reservations… But we’ll get through this. Looking into the dark blue, wondering eyes of my little daughter makes it all worth it.
