Happy birthday to my best friend and the best daddy Kirby could ever dream of having!
Gotta make this quick before dinner, but so many are wondering what is going on. Tomorrow I go to doctor and Wednesday Kirby Rose goes for her 2 week check up, so I will sit and update details then.
As for now ...
1. I can not believe she is already 2 weeks old. I cried for about 20 minutes today while I was holding her thinking about having to go back to school at the end of October. Please, share with me any ideas you have for me to be a stay at home mother - ideas where I can work from home. All suggestions will be thought and prayed about because my heart really wants to be home and not at school.
2. Kirby scoots up my belly and holds her head up for a little bit. She is very strong. I noticed today that she has her daddy's long arms. Sometimes when she has her eyes open she looks a lot like my daddy.
3. I got to make CR a birthday cake today and even put away clothes and kitchen items from some boxes, but I mainly snuggled and loved on Kirby.
4. God reveals Himself throughout our daily lives and it excites me when I just know it is all Him.
Lauren, we'll pray for you. When I had Ella, I still worked full time. It killed me to leave her in the mornings. After she was around 4 months old, the Lord showed me a way to come home, and stay home. I never thought we could live on half the income, but He made a way. Look at your budget and cut everywhere you possibly can so that you can see the absolute minimum you need. And keep praying He show you a way to make up the difference in $$ at home w/Kirby. He will. When a Momma wants to be home with her baby, I know He hears those cries in a special way. We'll keep praying for you too!
ReplyDeleteLauren, I'm praying, too, and I completely agree about looking at your budget carefully. Also, what about working at a MDO, preschool, or gym kids room that you could bring Kirby with you? Almost all of the ladies who work at our gym's kids room have their kiddos with them, and it seems to work great.
ReplyDeleteKirby is too precious, and she is so blessed to have you for her mother!!!
