Today's Bliss: Three Months of Mommyhood

Lily Grace is now three months old! What a wonderful blessing these three months have been for me and our family. I am so grateful for the gift of this little girl and the joy that she has given us. As I look at her sweet face, I am overwhelmed with elation and love. Never before have I felt such deep emotion and adoration...God has blessed me more than I could have ever imagined!

These three months have also had some challenges...being a Mom is hard! Making decisions, troubleshooting problems, keeping a calm attitude when you are sleep deprived, and endless other daily issues have really taught me a lot about myself, about N, and about Lily Grace.

I have prayed more deep, emotional prayers in the past three months than I have for a while, too. Seeing the face of God in a little bundle of baby has been an experience that I could never prepared myself for. God's grace, faithfulness, and love have truly been felt in my heart and my life in a new way and I am so thankful for that. Without Him I do not think I could have made it through so many sleepless nights and endless days!

So, here I am with a happy, growing baby. She is learning new things and changing every single day...and that is true, pure bliss!
