A tougher day...

After being a mom for almost 3 weeks, I'm slowly learning that some days are better than others. Yesterday was a pretty easy day when things went as planned & Kent cooperated with the schedule I wanted to do for the day. Today was another story. It all started last night when he screamed for over 2 hours until after midnight with bad gas, then woke up at 1:30am, then again at 5am, then again at 8am. I was worn out from the start of the day today based on how the night went! Please don't get me wrong, I am so thankful for the blessing of Kent. However, today is a day I felt like I needed to pull my hair out. (Actually, I did end up getting my hair cut instead!) Even though there are moments of frustration I'm having right now, there are also precious moments like the one in this photo of Kyle & Kent this morning after I got Kent settled down.

Kyle also had the chance to feed Kent today! I have been pumping extra breastmilk & storing it, and decided to introduce Kent to the bottle of pumped breastmilk today. He enjoyed it & gobbled it down in no time flat! I have a really good eater of a boy!

Kyle was also really excited to take part in the feeding experience of Kent, instead of having to watch from the sidelines. He is doing a great job as a new dad!

Here is a quick pic of my new haircut. Yep, I cut most of it off. It feels so much better & lighter! I just hope I'll be able to style it quickly most days, especially on a day like today, when I don't have much alone time & have a screaming baby to comfort.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers. This is definitely the hardest job I've ever done in my life, harder than college, than any new job that I've been paid for. Nothing could have prepared me for motherhood. I love it, but am definitely being streched & challenged each new day.

Blessings to all of you moms out there!
