October is my favorite month. I love the weather, pumpkin patch going, decorating for Halloween; all of it.
This October has just stunk though. It’s kind of frustrating.
Scott and I are still in a waiting period. We’re trying to praise in the hallway, but after 6 months or more of hanging in the hallway, it’s starting to feel like the walls are closing in. Frustration is mounting. Exhausting is setting in.
October 1st Harper had her finger slammed in a bedroom door by one of her big sisters. Not a big deal, right? Not usually, but this time it cut a big chunk of her pinky off. Thankfully, no bone was broken, and it is healing as well as it can. Her finger is going to be deformed, but she is going to be just fine. Her chunky legs have been getting caught in the slats of her crib. Yesterday, it got stuck really badly and her leg is now black and blue. We’ve ordered some Wonder Bumpers to see if they help. If not, back they go. I’m also going to get some sleep sacks to put her in. I don’t know what else to do. For now, she is sleeping in the pack and play.
We just keep getting more and more bad news in our family.. like, seriously, just STOP. Yes, I work with teenagers and that is exactly how they speak. But, I am so tired. I am TIRED of bad news. I am tired of heartache and hurt. I am just trying to lean on God’s promises. We all need to.
