Two things today for which no one prepared me.
While carrying a baby in a baby carrier, it is immensely difficult to manage:
- Blowing my nose.
- The sudden onset of imminent poop.
- The baby deciding to practice standing (on my thighs) while in the carrier as I sat on the toilet, handling that imminent poop.
None was easy to manage. All felt absurd in the moment and still seem so now. The last one was muscularly very difficult.
Thank you, God, for getting me successfully through another day of it all. Help me to find greater success and bonding and trust going forward, please. Thank you for my family. Please, make us well and keep us safe. Thank you for our home. Help me to manage it well. In your name, I pray. Amen.
