So many factors played into my great day today 😀 It was so amazing how many things seemed to line up as well as they did. Almost unbelievable!!
For starters, Ro slept through the night!! It doesn’t happen too often, but goodness me, when it does, I feel fantastic!! I woke to him silently talking around 8:00am. It was glorious. I gave him his medicine and he then drank a full bottle without complaint. Dekker and Laela were SO giggly when I went into their room to get them shortly thereafter, and the mood stuck. It seemed like everyone had just slept well and felt good.
The day was smooth. I’ve been feeling really crampy recently, and while I’ve always been decently crampy when I’m pregnant, these cramps are a bit different and I’m keeping a very sharp eye on them. But I can say that I didn’t feel any cramps or discomfort all morning or afternoon! The kids played very well with each other and I barely had to remind them to be polite to each other or play nicely. They just did it. When I put Rowan down for his nap, the kids tidied up all of the instruments from around the basement and stayed very quiet. Its actually a really cute system they have set up without any guidance from me. They just know to be quiet when the baby sleeps, so all the noisy things get loaded into the spare room.
Today was also exciting, as I thought more about the inevitable move and how our 2016 is looking. We have a lead on a potential rental situation that would be pretty much perfect, so we pray as we pursue it that is it where we are meant to be in our uncertain interim between homelessness and being in our ideal home. Ok, that was dramatic. Don’t worry, I’m just being animated.
Exciting days, exciting times! Prayerful days, prayerful times.
