As we have all found out the day that our children entered our lives is that they didn't come with instructions. If any of you are like me you experienced your first "mess up" quickly after meeting your children. I nursed and nursed my son and then found out, after he had lost some weight, that I had dried up and he wasn't getting any thing from me. Wow!! You want to talk about feeling like a failure, my body couldn't function in the way God intended it to. I soon found out that this wouldn't be the first time that I would "mess up" in his life. Needless to say G man is perfectly healthy today.
I know that I have a long list of mess ups and I am sure that list isn't completed yet. I think... ok I know it is important to forgive yourself when these moments happen but I also know how hard that can be. We are our worst critic. I find myself trying to justify myself to others, in reality the only people I need to justify myself to call me Mommy! My children know how much I love them and at the end of the day I get kisses anyway!! I promise to remember to forgive myself and create more memories then regrets. I hope you will do the same.
We will make mistakes as parents but they will know that they are loved!
