Feeling Blah

I'm not sure why I feel blah, but I do. I have a slight headache, neck pain, and some weird shoulder/arm/back pain and I'm not sure why. I have not spent more than just a few hours with Daniel this week and will not be able to until Saturday afternoon. I apparently do not feel well or am in a good mood when I do not get to spend time with Daniel. And to make it an even better day, Cameron has given me a hard time each time I have tried to feed him today which makes nursing hard.

Oh well, I should not complain as I have many many reasons to be grateful. Some of the many blessings God has given me.
      I get to stay at home with Cameron.
      I have an amazing husband who is my best friend.
      I have the most amazing sisters who have kept me company with Daniel's busy schedule.
      My God is continuously giving me grace, patience, and many others things to get me through the rough days like today.

Here is a few pictures to remind me of God's goodness.

Staying At Home is Hard Work

I always knew in my head how hard it would be to be a parent and stay at home. I was told by many people how hard it will be, but somehow I am still overwhelmed with how hard it is. Cameron is such a joy and I am truly blessed having Cameron. But it is a challenge. I go from an extremely detail oriented and high pace job to staying at home where getting simple things done such as washing dishes, cleaning, doing laundry, getting paperwork done, and cooking dinner can be challenging. Some days, it feels like I do not get anything done. It is so hard, yet rewarding. I will continue to pray for patience, efficiency, grace, wisdom, and the many other things that I need to have in order to take care of Cameron, Daniel and our home.
