Although I didn't get married young, and had been a foster parent, so had even more experience handling kids and a household than you had. Should've been no sweat to get married and step into wifehood, step-motherhood,and very soon pregnancy and (biological) motherhood....right? Hmm, well some of the adjustments DID surprise me quite a bit! Surprising that after 22 babies previously in my care, I could act like a worried-sick first-time mother over my baby. Where did all that confident knowledge go? Surprising that it took some adjusting to having to cook a solid meal for a husband and 3 boys EVERY night! (When it's just yourself and little kids, you find shortcuts!) And parenting now near-teenage boys is uncharted territory.(We'll leave it at that!) Wow. Still though, I love my life and wouldn't trade it. But I do identify with you!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15841782.post-7245452438585007552008-02-14T08:28:00.000-06:002008-02-14T08:28:00.000-06:00I didn't read your blog yesterday, but my heart re...I didn't read your blog yesterday, but my heart resonates with what you say. Just a story from 1971 and our first precious baby. He was a month early, severely jaundiced and by all reasons should have been lethargic. His routine was to spend as much of the day awake and from 11 pm until close to morning, crying. We lived in an apartment with a keyhole peek thing. About 2:00am when he was just wailing, my husband sound asleep, I heard a knock on the door, and it was my black neighbor lady. A well seasoned mother. I invited her in. She just held my precious baby and suggested Cat Nip tea. I didn't have any, but her concern and soothing demeanor quieted the restless ones. Sometime the Lord sends His comfort in times, and in ways when we least expect it. I know that mothers with young kids need not only their bolster of credentials, but the Master and the Master plan. He is writing the curricula for our lives. His love is exceeding wonderful. <BR/>By the way, have a very happy anniversary. Is it today?<BR/>Love in Him, PatPat VEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13503099315290455556noreply@blogger.com
