It's been 1 week since Mandy's birth. I am not quite sure what was longer, the week Mandy was over-due, or this last one with her here! The days and nights are full of challenges. James 1 is a huge encouragement to me and I think of this verse often: 'If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.' Of course, I replace the "he" with "she." This verse is profoundly encouraging whether my life's struggles are big or small. My God wants to help me out, pouring His peace over me when it feels like I don't have no clue.
Mandy is doing good and together we are getting better at nursing. She is a pretty lazy eater and left to her own devises, she would snack all day and all night. I would prefer full feedings every 3 hours or so and I think it is better for both of us in the long run. Whether you agree with demand feeding or not, it is exhausting and can be painful for a new mommy! Last night she went 3 hours straight and then 2 1/2 the next time. I'm still tired, but at least I am making progress and Mandy is no longer in our bed (she sleeps in her crib in the room she shares with Emma now).
