When you are juggling so much, a few balls have to fall, but everything' gets attention and balances. The fact that you care and have done research makes you a wonderful mom already. Look at your passion. And all those details? I was/am so much like you. It took having a second with such a different personality than my own (or my first borns) to really have more perspective about what makes you a good mom. Bottle or breast, co-sleeper or CIO, whatever-all moms are great when they are passionate about their kids. When your daughter is born, you will immediately see your mom in a different light-realizing how much she truly loves you and you will look at other moms with sincere appreciation. I am friends with women I never would have come across, simply because we share one thing in common....being a mother. You will be the best you can be and that is all that matters. She will feel loved-the greatest gift of all. Cant't wait for you.<br /><br />Ps if you want any info on vaccinations, please let me know. Obviously you know how I feel about them, especially with a winter baby, but since I have had so much experience with the subject, I am happy to coach:) <br />Heidi Bruchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10569200317447882234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2778746472489493778.post-86450456941221449302012-09-21T15:27:37.324-07:002012-09-21T15:27:37.324-07:00I've found so much encouragement from reading ...I've found so much encouragement from reading the stories of ladies like you who are willing to share—so thank you! There is such power in sharing how God is working in us. I'm eager to see what Jesus has for me in this new season. <br /><br />Thank you for praying. It's great to know that there are women watching over me who care and have wisdom to share. Such a blessing! xo!<br />Kelsey Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332389459836998537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2778746472489493778.post-7470631763422797602012-09-21T08:00:26.505-07:002012-09-21T08:00:26.505-07:00kelsey! this is so good. its so hard as a parent t...kelsey! this is so good. its so hard as a parent to know that your sweet precious baby is only on loan from Jesus. its hard to know what is the "best" thing to do. from my experience, all of the things that i had planned to do, that i had thought was "best" and "right" all got thrown out the window. Jesus used the first year of motherhood to really break me, to show me that all my ideas for what i thought was "right" and how i could control everything was really a sin of not letting Jesus be in the drivers seat. I had to learn to trust that Jesus and his will is better than breastfeeding, it was better than not suffering with ppd. i had to learn that what Jesus really thought was best, was to trust in him, and trust him with the big decisions and trust him with the little ones too. that i couldnt {and still cant!} do this motherhood thing without him. i am so thankful that you are learning this now, and thinking on it now. i was so caught up thinking about how to dress my cute little girl that i never thought about all of this stuff until i was in the thick of it. i am praying for you, and for all that you are allowing Jesus to do in your heart and life. you are a great mama to LB already, and i am excited to watch you blossom into that role. let me know if there is anything i can do!<br />xoxo,<br />allyallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10525282379868592949noreply@blogger.com
