When I found out I was having a baby my life changed in so many ways, not all at once but a huge gradual change occurred. I thought the biggest life change in my adult life I had ever had was getting married. Well, all can change with a little stick followed by a visit to a doctor with a small image on a screen.
From the time I found out Lola was coming I prayed for a baby that God wanted me to have, no matter what. I wasn't concerned about having the healthiest baby ever but just what the Lord wanted to bless us with.
As time progressed I prayed the Lord would bless us with a good baby, one that slept well, happy, laughed often, played well, and had a positive attitude. From the day Lola was born we could tell our prayers had been answered. We praised the Lord for our blessing.
When Lola was a few months old (3-4 maybe) we wanted her to start sleeping on a schedule where we could tell what was going on in our day as well as hers. I prayed and prayed, spending many nights, nap times, and various other times during the day praying for her sleep schedule. One day, maybe two after I started praying, all clicked with all 3 of us.
Just this week Lola started going through the changing of appetite, decrease in what she wanted to eat and when she wanted to eat. In our house we try to eat breakfast together as a family, and I fix lunch for Lola and the kids I babysit (so she needs to eat then), we also eat dinner together as a family each evening. My trouble began when Lola decided she didn't want to eat what was given to her at lunch time. Since I said I was not going to be one of the mothers that made different meals per kid or member of house she is stuck eating what I fix or get nothing at all.
She has adjusted well and started eating what is presented. Again the prayers of mother is the most powerful tool available. No matter how BIG or little your concern, God is always there to listen and give you wisdom to overcome the problem.
