3 Months and Stares Sep 11
Yesterday marked 3 months of Aubrey's sweet blue eyes looking up at us! Happy 3 months, Ms. Aubrey! She's a precious, precious little girl to us!
So after 3 months of having two, you think I would have gotten used to the stares I get from people. Stares accompanied with words and phrases such as: Wow! ; Oh my, you've got TWO babies! ; You sure do have your hands full! ; Do you ever get any sleep? and...You sure are brave.
To the Wow! I say too~Wow! I never would have imagined that the Lord would bless me with two little girls! Two years ago from this day (or round about) I was groping through my first trimester of pregnancy with Savannah. Groping not because I was so sick but because I was so nervous about carrying a sweet life inside of me. Again, I am reminded that children are a blessing from the Lord.
To the Oh my, you've got TWO babies I say too~Oh my, I have got TWO babies! One may look like a baby to some but she sure is a sweet and great big sister. The other really is a baby and a very precious one at that.
To the You sure do have your hands full! I say too~I do have my hands full! I must admit it.
To the Do you ever get any sleep? I say~Well, not as much as I'd like, but I do get sleep. Prior to having Savannah, sleep really was not only one of my favorite activities but one that I needed to get at least 8-9 hours of per night in addition to my naps (no, not every day...just every other day). That stopped for awhile after having Savannah but thankfully picked back up within a few months. Hasn't quite picked back up yet this time around, but I'm hoping it's just around the corner. Today I did lay down for nap but couldn't sleep because of thinking of all I needed to be doing.
To the You sure are brave I say~No I am not...just ask Aaron!

I hear you on the stares and comments, sister! I get the "wow, you have your hands, full!" comment about every time i go out. One lady in Target even went so far as to say "where's your help these days?" in which i kindly replied "oh, you must mean my husband...well he's working so I can be with these two!" It is a lot of work, and our hands are full, but as you so beautifully put it...they are full of God's precious blessings. love you!
