Thankful: Day 8

November 8th: Today I thankful that tomorrow is a new day and I have the ability to not let today effect tomorrow.

I must have woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. I have not felt in the mood to keep up with my duties as a mother. I have not cherished my time with my baby girl. Today has been frustrating. When my baby is sick I should be cuddling and comforting her... instead I find myself getting frustrated and fed up with her fussiness. She did not want to cuddle, instead she wanted to throw fits, not eat, not take her nap, and squirm no matter what position we sat in. She was demanding milk. 'Well sweetheart, mom doesn't really have any milk left and you refuse to drink any other kind of milk. Let's save what little bit is there for bed time and the middle of the night so we can both get a little sleep'. I may have been more inclined to nurse if she did not pull off every 20 seconds.

Yay for bath time! 

The day is ending on a better note. Grandma was able to get her to eat a good amount for dinner. We did some goofing off upstairs before putting Olivia down. As I was nursing her I found myself praying to God to help me rid my mind of all these negative thoughts and to be grateful for what I have.

Everyday I have to drain out Olivia's saliva out of my phone case

I am thankful that Jesus us my Lord and Savior and will always be with me. I am thankful that my in laws are letting us stay at their house. I am thankful for a healthy baby girl who has the best smile. I am thankful for my husband who goes to work everyday. I am thankful for my health. I am thankful for the opportunity to stay home with our daughter. I am thankful for my kitties who enjoy to cuddle. I am thankful for a loving family.
