Last night was
a difficult night for Anthony and I. Max had a
rough few hours, but he finally calmed down after I rocked him to sleep. We
tried everything for 2 hours; rocking, changing, feeding, playing, laying in
his crib and nothing worked. At one point I felt like an awful mother, as if
God had forgotten to give me the gift of mothering. Once we finally got him to settle
down, I definitely felt overwhelmed and cried and cried and cried. Anthony and I
prayed and I felt better, much better. Then today I received text messages from
5 wonderful women who lifted me up with such encouraging words. It really was a
blessing. So ladies, thank you for those kind words. It is hard to be here far
from all of your support, but I still felt the love thousands of miles away. I
have a lot more to type, but haven’t edited and typed some of our day today. I
will get to it tomorrow. Here are a few more pictures.
