Run Down Week

[Mayflower1]

Perhaps I am a little run down? I am a new mom. I am just tired a lot lately, just getting over bronchitis, no time to clean house, because I can't seem to get comfortable wearing my baby and she is not happy if I put her down right now. I guess I am just feeling a bit down from being run down. Not sleeping well, because I get so afraid since I am a deep sleeper, I won't hear my daughter if she needs me at night (6 months old). I just laid her down like a half hour ago. She has had a bad cough too, so it wakes her up, so I gave her some zarbees and baby Vicks. My hubby works thirds, so he is at work tonight. And his day is his night, so that can be tough. He is helpful on days off though. Eh. I am counting my blessings, but hard to see positive when feeling crummy at times.

When I was raising my kids I would also do the same, its normal, and yes, you do get use to it.

God bless you.

As an old g/pa with four grown daughters, I know what you are feeling, Lily. It can be hard. As God says in Philippians 4:7 He truly understands, and is ever seeking to encourage those who stay in communion with Him (note also John 14). Just give thanks to the Lord Jesus for His sacrifice and suffering for us, and thank the Father for giving the saints His Spirit to sustain faithful ones. We are living in a fallen world and need God's strength and care ...right? Look up always for strength and peace, and for eternal hope. That communion is precious, I have found over many years. I will pray for you.
