I've been gone a bit..

[MochaMel]

and i've missed you all!! I don't seem to have the time for my MB's like i did before baby was here.. :lol2 My RR friends were on my mind this evening..

Been fighting a bit of late post partum possibly the last 2 days and maybe a bit of flu too.. SO weepy today -- but so thankful to God too!!!!! I can't even describe this feeling of gratitude for my life that He has seen fit to give me. My beautiful husband and my wonderful 5 baby dolls -- :heythere

Some of you know of my 3 surgeries after my recent darling daughter was born.... I feel like i'm only in the last week not in pain anymore and my life is going on into a new step of Motherhood and life with God.. After that big scare in my life, it's put something in my heart for God. He SAVED my life literally here and it's almost overwhelming to know He would do that for me. It feels in a way like a 2nd chance.. I don't quite understand this feeling i'm having right now --

I've certainly never done anything to deserve His Magnanimous love, but oh did i need Him!!!! I'm listening to "Take my hand" By Shawn McDonald -- It's a beautiful song; and another i am really loving "Song of Hope" by Robby Seay Band....

Just wanted to drop a quick note; i love you all so much that i have come to know in the last many months, it's been a HUGE blessing... And for prayer too, a little nostalgia is okay -- but too much weepy is not so good.

Blessings,
Mel--

i can't say i know 100% what you are feeling, but i have an inkling... i have learned a lot myself in the past pair of months and what you are saying is similar to what i feel, different circumstances but a resonant note.

Welcome back! :hug

Welcome back! Praising that you are doing better and praying for continued healing. We would love to see baby pics.

Thanks you Icebear!! :hug Just sometimes knowing you're not alone in this is good. I told hubby last night i feel mind crazy -- he laughed and said i'm not mind crazy -- it's just been a crazy couple of months! It's just all those hormones trying to get back into proper order.

I found myself weepy just thinking about moving the baby into her room yesterday evening -- :hehee Needless to say i decided that she could stay with us a while longer.. Her and I have a REALLY close connection and i'm not ready to break that bond just yet I suppose.. :) Her room can wait for her a month or so longer....

It's the same today -- It's an unsettling feeling in my emotions; but at the same time it brings me EVEN closer to God.... Depending on Him in the unknown. :heythere

I will PM pics to anyone that didn't see Gracie yet.. Just drop me a note. :) I had to delete out the pics I had here a few weeks ago b/c of an athiest site getting some of our posts here and didn't want my pics going somewhere crazy..

[MochaMel]

I am finally realizing what some of these emotions were/are.... Overcome with emotion for God's great love for me and my family.. It was such a big deal after all the surgeries after her birth and kindof scary too.

But then just the joy of having a new life in the house, WOW it makes you praise and focus rightly on God. This whole experience has actually made me closer to God in a new season.

It's such a joy that we have such a BEAUTIFUL God that bestows on us SO much love -- and to give us the gift of feeling even a trinkle of that in our heart can be overwhelming but truly wonderful as well!!!!

Love you all!!
Mel

Praying for you, Mel.
I had a C-Section with my last baby(who is now 15). I know how crazy emotions can get. I also felt SO tired. I had fullblown Post Partum Depression with the last one(a girl). Not fun. But, I can also attest to the Lord's presence with me through everything. I couldn't have gotten through that very difficult period without Him!
She was (and still is) a special addition to our little family.
