All things
considered, not too bad. For the most
part we live our lives with the joys and struggles of parenting a ten month
old. She’s crawling all over the place,
so we’re trying to keep her out of the kitchen and bathroom and sweeping our
floors like we never have before. We do
everything we can think of, and some things accidentally, to get her giggling
like crazy. Belly laughter is a daily
occurrence. Our backs hurt a bit from
carrying her around and hunching over to help her walk and we’re trying to
figure out what’s causing somewhat regular vomiting. The girl has quite a gag reflex.
But of
course, we have moments. Moments when we
think about what has happened and what is to come, and the tears come so
quickly. Thinking about the fact that
she will be here one day, with all her glorious giggles, and gone forever the
next day, fills my heart with more sadness than I want to bear. So most of the time, I don’t think about
it. Please be praying that I stay
engaged with my heart throughout this process.
In reality the depths of the pain and the heights of the joy are hand in
hand during this season of life, and I just need to embrace that.
