Although it doesn't hold a candle to baby G, I am proud of my ever-increasing sewing skills. I have made a few nursing covers now despite the fights my sewing machine puts up. It is nice to put your mind to use doing something unrelated to baby.
Inspired by meal enjoyed during a recent trip to visit family in Colorado, we attempted to make our own portabello burgers. They turned out pretty good, although the texture is something to get used to. First, coat the mushroom with olive oil and italian seasonings and grill. Then add pepperjack cheese and fresh red pepper to a broiled kaiser roll with fresh spinach. Yum!
As we have passed the milestone of 3 months, the usual time when working mothers decide to "get back to it" I feel so blessed to have been able to be at home for each precious moment with my little one. I feel in my heart that I am not ready to leave her in someone else's care full time, and I've also learned that a peace of mind is a priceless gift. I pray that the Lord would open doors to provide a flexible part time job for me as a pharmacist; one that allows me to be the kind of wife and mother I aspire to be but that also challenges me professionally and helps me to grow. I am thankful that this little girl has stolen my heart and made it easy for me to see the investment which pays the highest returns.
