I had a little epiphany the other day (last week?)...

I was feeling frustrated that I seemed to not be able to do anything because I have this baby constantly attached to me and I just wanted to put her down (in her bassinet) and go do stuff.

Then I remembered how much I prayed for this baby, how longed for she was. And how excited she was to come and be our daughter. My daughter.

And I mentally slapped my forehead... duh! Here I am, one month into her hopefully long life and I'm already looking for an out? Sheesh.

Not that there aren't going to be other moments where I feel frustrated with her, but I'm so glad I had that little moment of clarity early on, so that I can hold that feeling of gratitude in the moments that are more challenging.

I thought for a minute I was in the wrong blog! It's a nice new design. I like it a lot -- very pretty.

There's no date on the blog post in your new design. Just thought you'd like to know...
