Baby Baby

Ah, the joys of teething. Martha is going through another gum-related challenging phase and it's definitely causing us all a bit of stress.

Co-sleeping and breastfeeding help alot. After all, no one wants to be getting out of bed to pick up their crying baby at 4am...not to mention again at 5am, 6am and 7am.

But still, a few broken night's sleep can really play havoc with your body, mind and sadly, your patience.

So I'm writing this little post for Martha. As a reminder to myself of all the wonderful things about motherhood and just how much she has enriched and completed my life.

For every angry scream, there is a gurgling grin. For every clenched fist, there is a gentle stroke. For every red face, there is a calm smile.

In the midst of the tiredness, the screaming, the biting and the tears I hope she knows just how much I love her.

I can't wait for the day that I can tell her and she will understand.


"Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven".

Matthew 10:18
