Cold Front

It’s so cold again.  I am wearing my ski jacket- that’s how freezing it is in our house!

Apart from the sleeplessness, I am really enjoying Ash’s age at the moment- he is such a pleasure.  I love making him laugh, watching him wriggle around & hearing him babble & blow raspberries.  Being a mother really is an amazing thing.

Thank you God for giving us our beautiful, strong, healthy son.  We are grateful for each day that we see him grow & develop into the unique human being You created.  He sure is a special fella.

Flip it Around

I was going to whinge today.  I wanted to re-affirm to you all that I didn’t get much sleep again last night & I am so exhausted & motherhood is much harder than I thought it would be, & I wish A would JUST SLEEP & NOT CRY.

But I suppose all of that is boring & really not very unique anyway.

So, I am going to flip it around.

Dear God,

I am so grateful for my beautiful, healthy, strong baby boy.  I am so grateful for the opportunity You are giving me to learn & grow & become a much better person.  I am thankful that A chose me as his mother- I am so proud & honoured to be the one who carried him, birthed him, the one who will continue to love him and nurture him forever.

I am so grateful for my wonderful husband, who tag teamed with me at 4.30am this morning.

I am grateful for all my family & friends who I love &, I know they love me & accept me back.

God, thank you for today.
