We have been so blessed by friends from church who have provided meals for us, and they continue again through this week. It has saved us money from buying groceries, and time from cooking when I get home. I am truly grateful. The Lord as been SO good to take care of us in so many ways.
Natalie is perfect. Not only is she beautiful, but she is incredibly content. The only time she fusses is if she is wet, hungry or being changed! And even at that, she calms down so quickly. She is sleeping every 3 hours, sometimes 4. Brian takes the late shift and lets me get to bed on time, then I take the 2-3 am shift, and let him finish out the morning. This has really helped with the sleeping. I feel rested just enough to function nicely so far.
Mom was in town all week and she was SUCH a big help. She cleaned my tubs and showers, as well as finishing a lot of laundry. It was so nice to have her here. She also gave lots of caring for baby tips! Mom left this morning, and I knew it would be difficult for her. Thankfully, I had to go to church so I left before her. That helped us both from boo hooing like babies! I think it was also a good time for her to be forced to relax a little. I think she watched more TV this week than in her entire life! She needed the res though!
One more week and then we are off for a week, Brian and I and Natalie together. A family. Blessed times!
Murphy is finally getting close enough to snuggle with us! The dogs have been so good!
