It is sooooo O.K not to feel like you are able to give everyone everything they neeed from you ALL at the same time. We are human and no one is perfect , but I think you do your very best to try to reach that goal and I know our Father is so very proud of you and the family that you have made. I love you honey and I am praying for you and the family. Know that God is with you always and he will listen when you talk to him.He will listen when you cry and he will listen when you scream I need help.Grandma Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115254394243294737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1881409474639520550.post-40109997273611721792012-09-17T21:41:31.966-07:002012-09-17T21:41:31.966-07:00oh my goodness, I can totally relate!

I thought two was supposed to be "easy," but I didn't leave our house for months (once we got home from NYC). And Gabriella wasn't a preemie, but she was/is still really emotionally needy so she even at 15 months still wakes up usually once during the night. All that to say, you aren't alone and I'm so sorry that you are feeling so depleted. Those feelings will level out and you will have a new normal that isn't so hard on you physically and emotionally, but in the meantime, know that I'm praying for you to rest - even if it is just emotionally and for God's grace to give you even more strength than you physically need. And that no one will give you the pep talk to "enjoy this while it lasts" because if we are honest with ourselves, the only way to get through this phase sometimes is the promise that it won't last forever. <br />love and hugs!<br />Alicia Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06081509687158539236noreply@blogger.com
