• Newborns

  We saw a cute, adorable, heart-melting little newborn on Sunday at church, and I was reminded of what I’ll end up with when these 40 weeks are over. 

  That cute little newborn on Sunday and was reminded of the little newborn foster baby that we had for a short time in our care.  He was the cutest little helpless little premature baby.  I keep being reminded today of that Friday afternoon when he was dropped off at our house.  Sam was not home from work yet and there I was all alone with this little baby.  It didn’t take him long to start crying and crying, and there was nothing I could do to comfort him.  He felt helpless.  I felt helpless.  I had to shut the window because he was screaming his little head off so loudly, I thought the neighbors would think I was abusing him!  Looking back, I just don’t think he was ready to be in the cold world yet, for his colic stayed with him all the days we had him.  Sam and I always say that it was the most difficult ten days of our entire lives, but we always say it with a smile.  We always still think of him and his precious little life and are glad that we had ten days to love on him.  

  Newborns – so cute, so helpless and so much work!  I’m looking forward to our little newborn.  A new little life.  Plus, an end at last to this difficult season in my life called pregnancy.
