Love your blog. Like your friend above...hey Jolynn! Love your blog. Like your friend above said, do NOT ever look at the time. It serves no purpose but to make you go crazy. I know exactly how you feel, I think every new mom does. I couldn't wait for Eli to get older and now he's 8 1/2 months old! After 3 months that's when it got better for me. I went out more, went for longer walks I felt more like my own person. Nursing gets easier too (way easier). In the beginning you're there for that baby and that's it, it feels like you're a milk machine;). But slowly it gets easier and then you really start to enjoy it all. Just really try to enjoy ever moment, because everyday they get a little older and change. I look forward to reading your blog. I like how honest you are about it, it's exactly how I felt and I think most people even if they don't say it.

I especially loved the part where you said, She is getting plump and learning to laugh and what it means to love, just because I hang out with her all day and try to comfort her and figure her out. You are doing a very important job. Her intelligence is being developed but even more so - her sense of security. But it is not easy...and sometimes feels like such a sacrifice. I remember being so frustrated when I had to get up at night with my babies. I would check the clock and fume inside that I was losing so much sleep. Some wise woman told me, turn the clock around. Don't even look at it. That really helped me to accept the situation and deal with it in a better way. Adjusting to caring for your baby is huge. But God is doing a wonderful work in her heart, mind and body through the love and care you are giving her. Good job, Mom! Keep it up. I am saying a prayer for you.<br />Blessings, CarrieCarrie Turanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13866179102754248664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732137385074919050.post-21092615114899562242012-08-28T19:11:12.528-07:002012-08-28T19:11:12.528-07:00This is excellent.
