Constants

Now that I'm a mother, every day brings new experiences. My growing baby girl does something new and is a different baby every week!  Amidst all this change, there are two constants - worry and lack of sleep. These "constants" didn't come as a shock.  Nine months of pregnancy prepared me quite well - I was always up during the night and during the day my mind was always on little B. 

What I was not prepared for was the heartache I would feel when watching the news, or hearing about a sick child. My heart drops and I feel sick.  I've always been tender-hearted, but having a baby took me to a whole other level!  My eyes see the world differently now - I'm intensely heartbroken over the evil and hurt in the world but overjoyed by how blessed my family is.  

On a happier note, B is now rolling from tummy to back and back to tummy easily and playing like crazy! This new mobility has baby B rolling on her tummy to sleep.  This scares me, but she has now slept through the night two nights in a row.  Ah!  More worry and lack of sleep...this face is so worth it all:
