Becoming Mommy

When you become a parent there comes a day when it suddenly hits you...you are the mommy. You are the one that makes the owies go away, you are the one that stops the tears, you are the one that has to figure out what's going wrong, when your baby can't tell you whats wrong. I mean, you always know those things, but I think there is a time when it suddenly becomes a reality. Mine came today.

Ohlen hasn't been feeling too good. He's thrown up a couple of times, has diarrhea, has a slight temperature, and is not quite his normal ultra smiley self. It's the first time he's been sick, and it's so frustrating. He can't tell me what hurts. But it's not all bad. He isn't fussy, or grumpy, just not as smiley. There hasn't been a whole lot of crying. And his temperature is going down and down. And he kept his last meal down! :) I think it's been harder on me than on him. It's really made me think about all that being a mom involves, and I wouldn't trade this job for the world! :)

I really have so much respect for all the parents that have gone through sickness, injuries, anything hard. It's killing me and he's only a little sick. But I know that God's got His eye on him, and it's a much better eye than mine. :) I've really been trying to lean more on Him, and not try and think that I have to do it all on my own, because doing it on my own just doesn't work so well. :)

Oh, and welcome to Blogger. :-)
