I can empathize in a sense knowing the feelings you were having as my feelings after Caleb's birth were so complex and inconsistent with what I wanted them to be and what I knew they should be. I loved my baby, but I was lost at loving what it was to be his mother. I couldn't recognize the fleeting time of his babyhood, in fact, I couldn't wait until he grew out of it. I just really struggled with what I think were unreaslistic expectations, sleep deprivation, feelings of loneliness and depression. My friends all seemed to adjust to their newborns rather well- or at least by the time their new born was a couple of months old. I wondered what was wrong with me all the time. Alas, God has been faithful and good, sooo sooo, good. As he has ever been faithful to Israel, he has been faithful to me. It is my prayer that my relationship with Caleb is and has been restored- I am so thankful for everyday that I have to love him and to be his mother. He is indeed a precious, precious gift from God. Sweetest belssings to you and your family!Katie Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04599651123730736322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150113619623860235.post-73392127444205010902011-03-11T05:08:50.524-08:002011-03-11T05:08:50.524-08:00Wow, how amazing that you have put this all into w...Wow, how amazing that you have put this all into words. I know that little Polly will someday be able to read this and see God's goodness and be thankful she has a Momma that is chasing after God! What a great example for your little ones:) Can't wait to read Part Two, because I know how much you love your babies, and I know that God is good! .<br /><br />"And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ." Love you Lydia! Thanks for sharing.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00408752176179630634noreply@blogger.com
