I’m feeling a little bit like Rip Van Winkle post-nap these days.
A little over a year ago I went into pregnancy hibernation. Morning sickness left me queasy all day with exhaustion I can’t even describe. And as I eventually moved past the icky feeling, I had what many women come to experience - a full-blown case of baby brain. Naturally, everything revolved around the growing little girl in my belly and few other things in the turning world mattered to me.
Much like my buddy Rip, it seems that I too am slowly waking out of a slumber, realizing that things are different! It’s taken a while, but I’ve grown accustomed to this smiling, eating, pooping, sleeping bundle of joy added to our home. Perhaps it’s that I’m actually getting consecutive full nights of sleep that I’m actually able to have clarity of mind. No less, I feel a little more awake these days.
So like I said, I’m waking up. And wow, things are so different! When did I have a baby? I mean, wasn’t I just pregnant? I feel like my life is flashing before my eyes. And I really feel like there’s no time to catch up on the moments that have past as I try to come up to speed on what’s happening in the now. So my prayer for today is that God would miraculously slow things down a bit because I really feel like the world is spinning faster than I can keep up with.
