Thanks for the Prayers
For those of you who read the last post and said even the smallest prayer for us–Thank you! We had a good day yesterday. We managed to keep the harmony until nap time. God must be showering extra grace on us since we had such a rough week last week!
At this point I’ve totally broken down on the TV issue. I’ve decided that it’s not the devil incarnate, especially when I need to feed Fulton and Therese needs a little distraction. She’s almost 2 anyway, I think I did a good job for the first 23 months of her life.
Therese is on the mend but still coughing a little. Adam is coming down with something. So unfortunately he has been banned from holding Fulton which means I get all the diaper changes. When I wake in the mornings my throat is itchy. I’m pumping myself up wtih Vitamin C, Calcium and my prenatal supplements.
Fulton is doing well at night. I’m trying my best to keep him up as long as possible in the evening so we can get a realatively good night’s sleep. I’m also learning that only the diapers that wake him up really need to be changed. I used to joke with Adam that when we’re 90 years old in our depends undergarments that our kids would get us back by taking their sweet time to change us too. I’ve decided that I’ll take my chances!
Tomorrow Adam goes back to work for the whole day. That’ll be the true test. But I think we’ll be able to manage. Please keep praying for us.
Sharon, bless your heart. Danielle Bean doesn’t think that TV is the devil incarnate either, so you’re in good company!
You and Adam are in my prayers.
The question is, how much longer can we tolerate “Elmo’s Learning to Share” and “Holy Baby”?!?
The Praise Baby collection and the Baby Einstein videos are very good as well. Therese might really like them. We loved talking about the objects, animals, toys and babies on the screen with Gabriel.
Being parents of two, you’ll do what you have to do. Most situations you find yourself in will be far from ideal, but you will have peace in knowing that you are doing God’s will by raising your sweet little ones to be holy children. It’s just not easy sometimes. Hang in there and lean on our Blessed Mother!
