The What Have I Done Panic

I had a flash of panic the other day. It started to really sink in that along with the amazing blessings a new baby brings, I also have another stretch of limited freedom of movement, poonamis, possible colic, entertainment unit fiddling and cupboard rummaging in my future. And us parents will be outnumbered. Am I truly prepared for what a third child means to me and to our family? Well who knows. But that's all part of the package. Lots of other people have been through it and come out the other side, and the baby years pass more quickly with each child, I think.

Also, I am praying for a baby who enjoys sleep. One who thinks sleep is just as great as learning stuff and eating and playing.

We'll see what God has in the works for us! I trust that He will help us through every challenge and I pray that I can recognize and appreciate every single blessing, even the ones that don't seem like blessings at the time.
