I was totally a mindless mother today for a split second and it could have had horrible consequences. Thank the Lord and Joseph's guardian angels that he is perfectly fine. It was clearly the most scary moment that I have ever lived through and I consider my lesson learned.
All I can say is that kid is FAST and I cannot take my eyes off of him for a milisecond.
I can't say more because my heart is still in shock.

50 First Things
We are starting some itty bitty amounts of cereal (made very thin with his milk) and it is downright funny.
Today was the first time he actually took the spoon and food and accepted it. Our household has been filled with lots of giggles. The faces he makes are hilarious! We love, love, love every single second!
We tried a bit on Tuesday and a bit on Wednesday, but today he did so much better. Like I said earlier, it is just a bit (a few drops, really) but he is doing so well accepting the spoon, he just doesn't know what is on his tongue and it makes him a bit horrified :)

What can I do for you?
Mother's Day is fast approaching and while I still feel a bit odd about it, like I am still a foreigner in a distant land, I want to do something for you, my dear readers.
While many in our IF circle have recently been given a new child to love, there are still some precious hearts in amazing women still holding onto God's promises of a growing family. I want to do something special for all of you ladies who may be experiencing strong feelings of desire, longing, and a true and holy desire to be fulfilled in your vocation.
I know there will still be tears in my eyes this mother's day. Mostly, for God's promise being fulfilled in Joseph . A few tears are bound to fall because of what I now know what I have lost in not being able to nurture Sam and Nicky in the way I get the opportunity to nurture Joseph.
I have realized that all of the hills and valleys that have led us to Joseph were necessary. Yet, the truth is that the journey to him was hard, sad, and long. All of this is being said to let you all know that I do wish to join you all in prayer in a special way this mother's day. All of you have a mother's heart and nurture little souls in this world and I want to nurture your soul by praying for you and your special intentions.
So please send me you special intentions by email or in the commment section, whichever you feel comfortable with and know that you are being held in love and prayer, all ways.
