New Year New Perspective

So my last entry I wrote about some struggles I had been having trying to adjust to post pregnancy life and the presence of a baby in the home. Things have gradually gotten better. As I mentioned in my last post, I'm trying to feel more gratitude in my life and that seems to help a bunch. Also, never underestimate the power of prayer. I feel that sometimes during difficult days, prayer is the only thing that gets me through. It's also nice that Haven is older now. I know, he's only a mere 2 months now, but it seems like he's changed so much since his birth. He is hefty and growing out of his clothes like crazy. He has started to lose that newborn look and he is awake and alert more often during the day. He is smiling, cooing, and even laughing now. I'm amazed at how much these little things lift my spirits. He is sleeping very well at night and I am getting a bit more sleep which helps my mood. We have gotten into a routine and that has eliminated a good portion of my anxiety. Haven is very predictable and I know when he's going to be hungry and sleepy and I know why he's upset when he fusses and I can usually find the solution to calming him down. I have him all figured out and that definitely makes me feel more confident as a mother.
