What I learned this morning and stood with me all day is:
God is with us to support us. He intends us to find fulfillment in the work of Life we were created to accomplish.
No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way. (Hebrews 12:11 NLT)
What I took from that is God is my Life Coach...especially in this season I'm in. He's guiding me so I can make sure all my days of rest are being fulfilled with JOY, LOVE and PEACE. I truly believe my csection recovery is going well due to the fact I've surrendered my ways and desires. My home is a diaster, I'm literally glued to my bed, non stop nursing or pumping! Sure I can find a million things to complain about but I'm taking one day at a time and seeing it all as a blessing. I see Alex relaxed, spending quality time with Max, taking time to honor his temple and most importantly enjoying our time as a family. So I truly believe God is training me for my next season of motherhood.
We spent time outside as a family. Had my first walk - about half a mile. Enjoyed the sunshine, laughter from Max and snores from Noah. Again, happy moments as a family.
Unfortunately when I came inside my lower back was aching. Partly due to the spinal tap I got for my surgery and partly because my body is super tight. Thankfully I wore my Bao Bei belly band for the support. Really helped keep my core compressed. {Mamas you need this band especially if you're expecting}.
In terms of my food intake I did pretty good. Lots of fruit, water, protein and carbs. I'm always hungry after I feed Noah so it feels like I'm ALWAYS eating. But doing my best!
Here's what I had for dinner:
Apple - Purple Container {Not shown}
Chicken - Red Container
Whole wheat pasta - Yellow Container
Lots of water!!! So important when breastfeeding !
Other than that today was GREAT! Lots of smiles, laughter, resting and just being THANKFUL for another day with my boys.
