She's down for a good nap right now, but let me tell you she wasn't so sweet and sleepy on Tuesday. We had Matt's mom in town at the end of last week and his dad flew in on Saturday. It was so nice to have them. Barb was so good with her, I found myself taking notes as I watch the two of them together. It was sad when they left, but again it was nice to get back into 'normal' life. I told Matt, it was like a great vacation- you're sad it's over but it feels great to be home.
Matt had off on Monday for the holiday- and it was nice to just chill, but on Tuesday I felt so out of sink with Lauren's needs. I was so use to having someone else bidding for her time that when I got her back we were all out of sorts. It took her and I crying together Tuesday evening, a wonderful husband, lots of prayer, and an excellent best friend to get us back on track. I guess this is what they man when they say "it takes a village."
Yesterday went a lot more smoothly and today is even better. One piece of advice that seems to keep ringing true, lots of people have said this to me and I find it so true, is that as soon as you feel like you've figured them out they grow and change on you- putting you right back on start.
Today I re-found and opened a divisional guide that I had received from a wonderful friend at work last spring. I was looking for God and there he was on the page of this booklet. The title was "Great Expectations" and it was about the authors thoughts after she had given birth to her first baby girl. As I read, I felt like she was writing some of my own thoughts down on the page. I love when God is so in your face and you just want to hug Him! I am so thankful for Him and how He works in my life.
