Don't lift heavy things....

How does a mother of 3 under 4 NOT lift heavy things?

I have a hernia. Thankfully, it is small enough not to be a consideration for surgery and may correct itself as my postpartum body heals. I am not supposed to lift heavy things, that is anything heavier than my infant in his car seat carrier.

I ask again, how does a mother of 3 under 4 NOT lift heavy things?

I hope you heal quickly. Maybe you can sit down a lot with the kiddos or maybe cuddle with them more in your bed. I know you are in a trying season right now.For that I pray that the Lord sends peace,strength and sleep for you and your littles. maybe just maybe The Lord sees that you need rest. Maybe you are sweating the small stuff or trying to go back to a what you consider a normal routine. I know after I had my third baby I thought easy smeasy. I got this. I am superwomen. Watch me roar and work. Well, the Lord had different plans. I was blindsided with postpartum depression. I had never experienced anything like. it was during that time when I truly learned to rest and depend on God. I started seeing everything in a different light when the stubborn side of me was refined. I learned so much from the Lord during this time that I'm not sorry for going through it. I am a better person to the Lord and my family for it also. Can you imagine I must have been a very stubborn and prideful person before because after this season these two things I no longer struggle with.

She's Here!

Our daughter was born at 7:17 pm, May 27th after only 2 1/2 hours of labor and 10 minutes of pushing! She weighed in at 6lbs 5 ounces and measured at 19 inches long....another little peanut! It was all-natural, baby! No induction, no pitocin, no pain relievers, no episiotomy! All prayers have been answered by the Lord except for her nursing ability. She's not a very good nurser, though she was a champ just after she was born. She's getting better, though and I continue in prayer that she improves. I pray that when my milk comes in, she'll be a great nurser. I'm also in prayer about her jaundice. Right now, it's not bad at all, but I learned with Bubby how quickly that can change, especially with her not being a good nurser. The picture above was taken yesterday. That's me and my son and daughter. Poor hubby's not in the picture because he wasn't at the hospital at that time. He was there earlier, but I sent him home to get some rest and some

I'm sorry, but I just have to gripe...

What is it with this trend of calling women "Miss" and their first name? I really dislike being called "Miss Kate." First of all, I am NOT a "Miss" and secondly, Kate is my familiar nickname. I am very proudly Mrs. Scott. Calling me Mrs. Scott does not make me feel old or detached. On the other hand, "Miss Kate" makes me sound like a child and lowered in societal and respectable standards rather than the married mother that I am. I don't want to be called Miss Kate, nor do I want my children to address adult women in that manner. Which brings up another point; men don't receive that kind of watered down respect. They get addressed properly as Mr. Smith, not Mr. John. Unfortunately, the three greatest offenders are a close friend, my sister-in-law, and my church. My close friend, I allow her daughter to call me Kate. We've known each other for so long and she's growing into a young lady, so I have no problem with the fam
