One of the things they don't tell you about new motherhood is that when, after five and a half months of being woken up every two to three hours by a hungry baby, when the little muffin finally sleeps through the night, your body is trained not to.
So you end up buying vegetable steamers on Amazon.com in the wee hours of the morning. And sorting socks. And reading blogs. And trying not to wake your sweetly sleeping husband. And forgetting that prepositions are not something to end sentences with.
Ah, me.
Good thing he is so cute.
I just read your piece on breastfeeding and coming closer to God on the Her.meneutics site. Beautiful, beautiful piece and I could totally relate as I was also nursing my daughter when I was working as a pastor. My experience was that it was a wonderful time to rest with her, but it was also tough as I felt torn between feeding her and caring for the needs of the church. I should have taken more of that time to pray, as you did!:-) Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
