It sounds like a fun, hip new way to get down and boogie with a 6 lb human being. It really is, however, a state of mind many mommies go through the first month after babies arrive. This is a period of time when Mommy can't remember if she brushed her teeth that morning. And yes, the mood swings, but who doesn't during this sleepless and hormonally imbalanced time.
I have been awesomely blessed with two healthy daughters and the second one is turning out to be a breeze compared to the first go around. Annaka is only struggling with the fact that she can't play with the baby more. She is incredibly facinated with little sister. It will only be a matter of time before I find Adelyn tucked into one of Annaka's toys right next to her dolls.
Perhaps one of the ways I am able to cope with the sleeplessness and frustration with Annaka wiping my moisturizer all over the bathroom counter is focusing on the great blessing God has given us through these years. Especially now, when we are living in a beautiful house located on a most gorgeous piece of property and have a beautiful family. It is impressive to realize how faithful God has been to us. There have been many occasions when I think to myself, "I don't really deserve this." We are blessed beyond our wildest dreams.
Speaking of blessed... Adelyn is sleeping. Annaka is outside playing on the back porch with the dog's water. Haden and Lauren are on their way up to enjoy the afternoon with us and, best of all, Caleb is making dinner! Woo!
Well, I spoke too soon. Annaka is throwing the charcoal briquettes into the lawn. Time to go.
