A Good Day
I am feeling better today. I got some stuff done. I made dinner even, the first time in, well, I can't remember, but its been a while. Dan was so awesome to take care of Sarah last night and take the 4 am feeding so I got uninterrupted sleep from 10:30pm until 8:30am. Last night, I was seriously done for. I actually got down on my knees and prayed God would make her sleep. Sarah is such a good baby, but caring so intensely for another person is exhausting.
Today I felt a million times better. Sarah and I went on a walk. We saw a neighbor of mine and found out that my favorite neighborhood cat along with some others were poisoned. How awful. I am so sad about that. Anyhow, I also got a shower, did my hair and got several boxes packed. I got a headache watching Dr. Phill. It was good but I forgot that watching TV gives me a headache.
So beside the cat thing and the headache, today was great. It was good to get stuff done. It was good to talk to a neighbor. It was nice to get out of the house. It was really nice that the weather permitted me to open the windows and air out the house. Our bedroom was smelling a bit like a locker room. All is well. I must say,having a newborn in the house, my house is still clean for the most part. When Dan gets home in the evening, I am able to go tidy stuff back up again. Awesome. I feel out of control when my house is a mess. When things are tidy and the sun shines in I feel much more relaxed and content.

I can tell you the infancy stage is more about surviving day to day than anything. The first 3 months are the hardest because they are so dependant and they haven't established a pattern of sleep yet, but (IT WILL COME FRIEND!!!) Be encouraged that you are doing a very high calling.
I remember Exodus 14 14 I believe goes like this, The lord will fight for you all you have to do is be still. That is still one of my faves.
I would look of verses on parenting and be encouraged on how much God thinks of it.
But definatly, Hannalee was born in Novemeber, so we were cooped up a lot because of weather. But cheer up cause spring is coming and you will enjoy those walks with Sarah!!!
Sorry so long. But don't feel alone, everything God calls us too is going to be hard because it is a refining process.
