Four Months!

Today my little man is 4 months old!  What a fun milestone.  He's doing all kinds of cute things - just started rolling over, although he doesn't always know he can do it.  He babbles a lot and giggles and coos.  We'll start solid foods soon, but so far has plumped up beautiful on mommy milk alone.  He's happy and sweet.  He's learning how to sleep better all the time.  (Thank God!)

What?  How's mommy?  At four months seems like a good postpartum check in.  Well, physically I feel good.  A little more sleep would give me more energy, but that will come.  My body has just about returned to pre-pregnancy status, although there are changes that I think may never be the same again.  I'm still not in a regular exercise routine, but that will come.  Emotionally, I'm doing well.  In spite of occasional total-meltdowns, I am happier than I've ever been.  Learning to juggle all of the things I want to do with all of the things I have to do is the hardest part.  Setting aside my personal ambitions for the work I've been called to is hard.  But I know - every day, I know - it is worth it.  Spiritually, I'm peaceful.  God has filled my life with so much love.  Not just through this baby, but through my sweetheart, friends, family, and (most of all) through Jesus.  It's a good day.  Four months ago, my life changed forever...for the better.

How are you (physically, emotionally, spiritually) today?  Take an inventory.  Be healthy!
