It's already been four months...Most days I can't believe it. Time has flown and my baby is no longer a newborn! Maddie isn't that small baby she used to be. She smiles more often, rolls over constantly, and has even started on the basics of what may very soon become crawling!
This morning I was just feeling sorry for myself. I keep thinking, "Poor me, always at someone else's beck and call. What was it like when I only had myself to worry about?" My thoughts continued to grow from there, "Mike's so lucky he gets to come home and relax, only taking on some of the responsibilities of Madison's needs."
But this afternoon, at exactly 11:45, I remembered why I'm so lucky! I walked into Maddie's room (after her 2 hour nap, woo-hoo) with a smile on my face! Laying in her crib, face down (I can't hardly set her down before she's flipped over) was the cutest baby I'd ever seen! I couldn't help grinning from ear to ear. I picked her up and she nuzzled up against me, I walked to the living room to feed her. God has blessed Mike and I with this precious child! She depends on me to feed her and keep her warm. This child who I love so much will no longer feel like a job (at least I hope not).I have been given the most important job in the world, and if my job description includes losing my brain and doing the not so fun tasks like changing a stinky diaper or trying (and I mean trying) to keep the house clean, or always wearing spit-up-laden clothes, I will do it with Joy. I will do it proudly, and I will be thankful God has blessed me with a family I love very much I will no longer look at everyone else's grass thinking theirs is greener.
MY GRASS IS AS GREEN AS IT CAN BE!!!
