Silas and I are surviving our first full week at home without Daddy. Normally he will sit in his swing or bouncy seat while I'm able to get some things done around the house. This week though, he'd rather just be in Mommy's arms. Mommy. Is. Tired.
I remember over the past 8 years thinking about how much I couldn't wait to hold my own baby in my arms. To love and cuddle.. soothe and comfort...Wondering if it would ever happen... Yesterday I was getting a bit frustrated (not really upset, just wanting to get some things done around the house) and Silas would not stay calm for very long once I put him down. When he's upset and crying I hold him close and remind him that Mommy is here "Always, Always". We rocked for awhile and he went back to sleep. I started thinking about one of my favorite Bible verses. "Be still and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10) and how God is here for us "Always, Always". When we are lost or feeling alone... when we just need someone to comfort us when we cry. Though we may not always feel him, he is always here. What a powerful love that is.

Have you tried a baby sling/carrier? That might help you and him stay close and still be able to get a few things done around the house. I'm sure everyone tells you this but they grow up so incredibly fast and before you know it he won't want to be held so treasure it while you can. Congrats again on your new family :)
ReplyDeleteI ordered a sleepy wrap and thanks to UPS, it should be here tomorrow! I'm hoping it works for us!
