Inspirations 

I think we have enough material to pull us out of the Word and into the world, so any reflections found here will be sporadic. This is not a blog. I pray that the words found here are always true and kind. I will always try my best to be both. I am human and will likely disappoint you. Luckily we have Jesus! I do not claim in any way whatsoever to have everything right about faith or the Church. The scariest thing about writing for an audience is the published tattoo. I will make mistakes, I will be wrong, I will grow and change my mind and be sharpened by the Lord and by you. And praise God for that! Praise God that we can never have Him all figured out, all at once, nice and neat. But let’s never quit trying. Come try beside me. And let’s count on changing together.

Some Fun Facts:

*I feed him breakfast til he barfs. I’m sure we’ll eventually figure it out. 
*When he goes to sleep, he means it. I have to wake him up.
*He’s an easy baby— sweet, gentle, laughing more than he does anything else, going with the flow even when a day consists of DMV type errands where I want to cry.
*But he is just that— a baby. He seems like a 7 month old to me.
*He’s a cuddler.
*He likes Justin Bieber and shimmies to Despacito.
*He has the tiniest butt I ever did see.
*There is not one thing about him that is familiar -- not the shape of his face, the sound of his baby noises, the feel of his hair, the angles of his body. 
*But we are figuring each other out. 
*We smile and laugh a lot when we do. He loves my nose. 
*He hardly ever cries.
*But when he does, any ordinary infant sorrow is magnified by me attributing it to his many losses.
*I am a different kind of mom with him. I can see now how confident I was with my other babies. This mothering feels completely different.
*I’m still not sleeping. So that part’s the same. 
*He loves windows.

*He snores like Blaise.

*He prefers Seth over me.

*He sounds like Curious George when he laughs.

*He fits right in.
​
*And we could have missed it.
