I am tired. I was impatient with my son today. I cried. I had a headache. My neck hurts for some weird reason from my surgery. I ignored phone calls from people who love me. I am totally isolating myself and can't think of anyone else but me right now. Just being honest.
I am feeling some major spiritual warfare going on right now. I feel like the enemy is really beating me up right now and I am just taking it. For those of you who are praying people out there...if you would say one for me I would greatly appreciate it.
Meanwhile here is my sweet daughter with her duck hair...


and my wonderful son who lights up a room...and his baby sister's face.

I am blessed Lord...help me not forget that in the midst of my trials.
Bless my heart!
ReplyDeleteConsider yourself prayed over. Pick up the phone and let those loved ones shower you with love, help and prayers. It always conquers the isolation.
Love ya.
It will get better -- just keep that in mind. It will!! I said a little prayer for you. I wish I knew the right thing to say. ;) I had to tell you my son has the exact same Mickey ride-on and it's been his favorite pretty much his whole life. I bought it for him before he could even roll over. Isn't it the coolest??
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you're feeling this way. Do you feel like it is more than the baby blues? If so, call your OB first thing in the morning. I was in denial about this after the birth of my first child and lost so many precious moments because I was convinced I could "handle it" on my own. As it turns out, I couldn't. Hugs for you. Lots of them.

PS Your babies are GORGEOUS--but I'm sure you already know that. :)
I too am praying for you friend!
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine the physical drain your body is going through, trying to heal up from having a baby, kidney stones and grieving over it's lost appendix :)Not to mention, producing enough food for another whole person!
Emotionally, spiritually, hormonally...those only add to the mix! don't believe the enemy's big ol' lies. The Lord alone will sustain you... and he'll use others who love you to do it.
Hang in there...it will get better! Much Love...Eryn
I'm so sorry you're having a rough time. If I were anywhere near you, I'd come over and give you a big hug. Here's an internet hug instead. (((HUG)))
ReplyDeleteDon't give up! It's hard in the beginning... but it does get better. Just look at those beautiful babies the Lord has blessed you with. (And remember, a little T.V. for a day doesn't hurt anybody.) : ) Sending prayers your way!
ReplyDeleteI had to have emergency surgery when my baby was 4 days old so I understand your pain right now. I was so drained, in every respect. I don't know what I would have done if my Mom hadn't been such a huge help to me. Do you have enough help? Don't be afraid to ask for help. If you've ever needed lots of reinforcements, it's now. I'm praying for a quick physical healing and a deep emotional healing for you today. ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteThe beginning is rough. It really is much more than just adding another child to the mix, but it does get easier with time. We would love to come over, bring lunch and occupy Isaac for a while so you can rest or just hang out and chat!! Praying for you and thinking about you.
ReplyDeleteSounds like your having a rough time.. Praying things will get better soon. Precious children!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely praying for you...
ReplyDeleteI am praying for you.
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for you. I just had a baby girl 6 weeks ago, and I can totally relate to how you are feeling. I had to have a c-section, so since then I have been sore, cranky and feeling the enemy laugh about my pitiful state! Thank goodness the Lord is with us always, even when we are walking in these valleys. Be encouraged, there are great things ahead, His word promises us that!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, your kids are super cute!!
Prayers coming from Arkansas. Talk to your loved ones. :)Lisa HUGS
ReplyDeleteyou are really on my heart, beck. please don't keep isolating yourself.
ReplyDeletelife will return to 'normal'..probably sooner than you expect. until then, it's ok to be weak and let others take care of you.
i love you.
Lord, I pray for my friend. That You would cover her with Your presence - that she would feel Your arms wrapped around her and protecting her from the enemy! Help her to rise as the warrior princess You have created her to be. Thank You for blessing her and loving her more than she knows! Amen
ReplyDeleteHi Doll...all you're feeling is perfectly normal. Believe me, things will get better soon. Your little people are sweeties, that's for sure. I stopped after reading your post and prayed right then and there. Keep looking up and give those babies a cuddle for me.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Amy
tag, you're it!
ReplyDeletePrayed for you! Hope you feel better soon...it is hard with a new baby and another little "helper" around. And your poor little body has been through a lot lately! Don't be too hard on yourself!!
ReplyDeleteWow, Beckie - you have had quite a time. I will be praying - please don't hesitate to call your doctor, though if things don't seem better soon. Sometimes the hormones get off track and can't get back on without a little help - and yes, the enemy will take full advantage. Praying! By the way, I am very impressed with your website! I have been crocheting all kinds of little things for my granddaughter, Genesis, and I wanted to make some hair ribbons. I am excited to use your instructions to make the stretch lace head band. Keep up the good work! (But for now just take care of yourself. . .)

Oh Beckie! Praying for you!
ReplyDeleteAsk for a neck massage, reminding them they will get nothing in return....it may be just the treat you need!
ReplyDeletemay god give you strength to overcome and heal from all you've been through........hugs and love
ReplyDeleteSending you prayers and lots of love. It will get easier, I have 3 children and the last two were 16mo apart. I remember those days:)
ReplyDeletePraying for you beckie.
ReplyDeletethinking and praying for you tonight....Love ya friend!
ReplyDeleteAGH!!! I'm so sorry blog-friend! That is NO fun to go through. I hope you're feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteYour kiddos are adorable! And there is grace for impatient mommies...I promise!
Hey Beck,
ReplyDeleteI definitely had the baby blues for about 3 weeks. I cried a river--BIG hot tears just kept coming--mostly over the breast feeding not working out. Your hormones just need time to swing back to normal. But you'll get there!!! Just keep nibblin on Kayla--that's what got me through!
Love ya
Cinney
