-Take it easy and not feel guilty about it.
-not worry about trying to get Isaac to sleep in his bed.
-wear that littlest blessing in my moby wrap all day long if that's what he needs to be content.
-cherish every second that I get to hold and pat his little bottom.
-remember that these days won't last long and someday in the not too distant future I will ache to hold his tiny frame against my chest.
-be thankful that God has given me the greatest privilege of being a mommy and that I am able to hold all of my little angels on this side of heaven.
-probably watch a movie or maybe even two... and not feel guilty.
Guess I should clarify. I didn't mean that I was going to watch a movie. I knew today was going to be a really rough day and that I would let the big two watch a movie and not feel guilty about it. Not living a life of luxury here people! :)
-will pray for friends who would give anything to be walking in my exhausted shoes today.
-will pray for all the little bottoms who don't have a mommy to cuddle them today.
-stare at the two cutest dimples I've ever seen!
Haven't seen these dimples much today because there has been lots of crying. :(
Thank you Jesus for adjusting my perspective this morning. Despite my exhaustion, I am abundantly blessed. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I wore Benjamin in the woby wrap all the time! That thing saved my life and my sanity. And B would only sleep at night if he was laying on my chest, so I let him just so I could get some much needed sleep. You gotta do what you gotta do girl.
aSniff sniff. How precious. You are truly blessed. So sweet that you can still recognize your blessings amidst the exhaustion. You are doing an amazing job. While Skyping you told me you had bags under your eyes--but I didn't see them. You still looked beautiful. And you have a wonderful husband and three precious little ones who love you. "Her sons rise up and call her blessed. Her husband also praises her: 'Many women are capable, but you surpass them all!' Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised."
I love you!

I'm not sure how that "a" popped up before the "Sniff, sniff!"

love you, dear friend. you are an inspiration to me as a mama.
I loved this post. What a blessing our sweet kids are to us. I feel like the Lord really showed me how to slow down and appreciate this time with our #3. Sounds like He is doing the same with you. :)
I love this, and I take all the snuggles and cuddles I can get...even though mine are both 40lbs now. Andrew still lets me rock him to sleep some days, and I never regret wearing him all day...wish I could have done it with Kaitlyn. You are so blessed and such a special person to recognize it through all the exhaustion. Love you!
I am so proud to have you as my daughter-in-law and the mother of my grandbabies! You are a blessing to all of us.
I love you - Mimi
