We spent the morning at The church of the Good Shepherd, where West goes to preschool now and Thomas was last year. We love it there, and enjoyed the children singing for us during the church service. Hartley is over all getting better but the weekend has been rough:( Not sure what is going on but she is having some colic like behaviour at night again, not as bad, which I am thankful for but still not fun. As I have been calling on God more and more throughout this process he keeps teaching me a few things;
When I was pregnant with Hartley, I have a couple of friends who ether lost babies or had them super early because of complications, due to that I was really worried about her and our low fluid, growth issues etc. I vocalized many times that if we could just get her out I knew "I" could take care of her, "I" knew what to do... In my moments of reflection I wonder why I thought God couldn't take care of her in the womb. Certainly was easier when he was doing it! We serve an awesome God in whom I am trusting to equip me to take care of this sweet baby now, no matter how hard it is..
I am also struggling a bit with not being the intentional person that I try to be. Hartley consumes so much of me that I find myself forgetting to ask about others, having trouble sending out baby gifts, write thank you cards, being able to visit with people at parties and get together, bonding with the other preschool mommies, etc. I believe this to be just a season so forgive me friends!! I am learning to be thankful for our baby girl and the ways in which she is stretching and growing me.
