Would you please keep me in your prayers? I am having a little trouble adjusting to my new family size. The weight change alone since delivery has been significant and has me feeling really challenged, I am physically and emotionally stretched thin and tired. It doesn't help that little Peter James is a strong and perpetual nurser and I can barely move out of my nursing chair.
I think I need to be more patient with myself and others.
thanks so much!
God love you!

Dear Donna Marie,
Please just sit down in that chair and nurse and cuddle that baby and don't think of anything else! I know just what you are saying and it will get better, just with time.Give yourself and your family time to adjust and just "be".
Big hugs!

I definitely agree with this advice... What I wouldn't give to be able to sit and nurse a baby for 3 or 4 months-- just try to relax and enjoy this time...I know that it is hard to do though...
My prayers will be with you!

I think I could have wrote your post 11 months ago after my baby was born. I definitely felt challenged. You are in my prayers. Just try to enjoy this newborn stage. It goes so fast! You are in our prayers.
