Half a Year

Wow! Has it already been half a year since we were coming home from the hospital with a newborn? Somedays feel like it was yesterday, and other days feels like I've been doing this (being a mom) forever. I can't imagine life without James - he is my sunshine, my laughter, my entertainment, my SON. It would be difficult to make a list of great things about him, because I truly think he is outstandingly brilliant in every way. He is cute, smart, content, funny, happy, and getting more and more curious about life around him. My favourite times are after his naps, when he cuddles in my arms with his head on my shoulder. I also love it when I look at him, and he is staring at me and smiling. The last six months have been the hardest, the happiest, the most challenging, and the most rewarding. I have cried often, laughed harder, worried more, and thanked God daily. I have had to learn to "lean not on my own understanding", and try to rely on my God-given mother's intuition. If I had to give a new, or future mom a word of advice I would tell them not to read BOOKS! Just try and do as much as you can without others telling you what to do, and how to do it, and when. God will help you out - but sometimes it's hard to remember to rely on Him. He does care, even about how to treat a diaper rash, or how to get more sleep. I really appreciate all of your continued prayers, and readership. It is nice to know that I have a little Blogger army standing behind me in the battle for the Quest Through Motherhood. God bless you all dearly. I love you!

P.S. My plans for the Blogger Brunch fell through, but I am still in the planning mode.
