In the last 2 weeks...


In the last two weeks I...
  • had a beautiful baby girl
  • turned 27
  • lost nearly 30 pounds (I think the scale might be lying.)
  • discussed at length little silly things like house temperature...along with other new parent obsessions
  • have muttered prayers of thanksgiving more times than I can count
  • have muttered prayers for sleep MANY times
  • have cringed while watching our grocery money go towards diapers (thankful for gift cards!!)
  • have cried at the drop of a hat time and time again (I'm OK.)
  • have adjusted to one schedule, only to see it change the next day. Similarly, I have discovered one way to soothe a crying (temperamental by God's design) baby, only to have it not work three hours later
  • could have started a pharmacy in my kitchen
  • have wished for more hours of daylight
  • have taken multiple naps on a daily basis
  • have let my desire for home cleanliness take a back seat
  • have struggled to find time for a shower, and have forgotten to eat until supper
  • have discovered daily pure delight in someone so small
