My 1st Mothers Day

All I can say is that today is not what I expected. In fact, it has been a miserable day. I didn't get anything done that I wanted to do this weekend. No hair appt, no pedicure, no manicure (despite my very clear request that I really wanted to get these done) my clothes don't fit, found a tick on me this morning in the shower--(What?!). Oh and Dunkin Donuts sat my apple fritter on top of Chris's chocolate frosted donut putting chocolate on the bottom of my fritter. What a way to ruin my fritter. Lol!

I've been up since 3am. Lana is making all kinds of noises in her sleep and it keeps me up at night b/c I keep thinking she wants to nurse. Lana had 2 major blow out diapers at church which went all over her clothes and socks. What a disaster! Then she wanted to nurse but my dress was more difficult to nurse in than I had planned b/c my boobs blew up this morning and I couldn't pull down the now snug and very fitted flap which exacerbated her cries when she couldn't get what she needed. We finally got that resolved but her elevated cries got me completely flustered. I missed more than half the service. I was only able to catch an hour nap again b/c of her noises. Lol! What am I gonna do with this girl if she keeps this up?

This was definitely the hardest day I've had so far as a new mommy.

Michele,
Being a mom sure has it's ups and downs. I'm praying for you. I remember my first mother's day, all I wanted to do was sleep, and Katie was going through a growth spurt, eating every 1.5 hours at 5 months. I was so disappointed, too. Stay strong. God gave you Lana, and He'll pull you through.

Thanks Shawna! It's been a great ride so far, just hit a little bump. I've really enjoyed her so much. She's amazing. I just loved every minute of being with her, nursing her, and watching her grow before my eyes. God is so good.

My brother teaches me something

I decided to write my brother a letter last week. While I sat down to write the letter, it dawned on me that there were some words he needed to hear. Chris reminded me that I might be the only person in the world that understands him because of experiencing the same childhood. First, I told him I was proud of him for working hard to stay out of trouble and keep a job. These are words that we both long to hear from our parents. Our desire to hear these words from them pushed us to act in two very different ways. Second, I told him that I admired him. That might sound strange intiailly but the last time that I saw him was at dinner at my parent's house. Before he left, he leaned down to give a hug to my father who was laying in the recliner. Dad didn't reciprocate, but I can't imagine how much courage and forgiveness had gone through Thomas's heart to be able to do that. I'm shamed to admit that I can only remember hugging my dad 2 times in my adult life. ...

Amazed again!

I was speaking to Don, the owner of the lot we purchased today and he exclaimed, I know someone that knows you! Gina Patterson! Hmmm...I know I'm pregnant and losing some brain cells slowly but the name didn't ring a bell. I told him that I had no idea who that was and then he cautiously asked, how are things with the baby? I said, Great, although, we did have a scare a few weeks ago. I told him the story but then affirmed that we had some amazing prayer warriors petitioning on behalf of Lana and I and God heard the prayers and the problem disappeared. Then he said, well, that's how I thought you know Gina. I received an email from her asking to pray for you and your baby. I was afraid to ask about the baby in fear that something bad may have happened. So somehow through a course of prayer chains, emails, and phone calls, this prayer warrior saint, Gina, received word about my situation and then turned on her list of prayer warriors to get them interceding on our behal...

Spring

It's hard to believe we've been in TN for almost 10 months. We've just about made it through all the season. I have to admit that it was quite beautiful to experience the fall leaves for more than a day that we might have seen in Charleston. The winter was a rough initiation but I made it. I'm pretty sure I made every attempt not to leave the house, but the snow pretty much helped with that. It seems that the seasons have changed once again overnight. Literally, in one day, the leaves on the tree next to our house have gone from barren to full of green. Bushes and trees are flowering everywhere. There's something so refreshing about spring. While all the seasons are beautiful, spring represents new life. What a perfect time for Lana to arrive!
