Okay, I lied. That was not the biggest accomplishment in the Robinson house lately. I have officially stopped biting my nails!! Ooo! Ahhh!! Yes, yes, I know...It's a miracle! I am amazing! How'd I do it?!
Alright, alright! I know it's not that big of deal, but where Rylie only had to break herself of a habit she had had for two years. I have been biting my nails for probably over 20!! It has definitely been over 60 days now and I think that is what they say you have to do to completely break the habit.
Harper is cuter than ever! Starting to do happy baby (grabbing her toes and rocking from side to side). And she laughs a lot! Everyday she gets more comfortable with her hands. She can occasionally pull down on the ladybug that makes music in her bouncy seat. You can tell she is working hard though!! We are quickly entering into my favorite stage. (Any stage after newborn!) She no longer sleeps through the night but I am not bothered. I know the days of snuggling her in the peaceful quiet will soon be over. In fact, as tired as I am, I kind of love those middle of the night moments with her.
Rylie is recovering from a bad cold in which she almost lost her voice. Kids are hilarious and very pathetic when this happens. She would make all these weird sounds just to hear what her voice sounded like. She keeps playing the sick card even though she is pretty much better because she discovered she loves Vicks Vapor Rub. (A child after my own heart!) Last night Rylie woke up once because there was a "frog" in her bed and then again later to tell me Harper was crying. (Like I couldn't hear!) At 3:30 Rylie was determined to get up and play! Bad dreams have been the cause of many middle of the night wake ups lately.
Adam started Newborn Nursery last week and therefore is getting home pretty early every day - usually between 1-5. He has the weekend off coming up but that is after over 2 weeks with no day off. We are going to attempt to go camping but the forecast looks grim so we will see if we actually end up going.
3 weeks ago I started a Beth Moore bible study "A Woman's Heart". We also join a house group and started a class on Sunday mornings. Funny, it all started the same week! We probably will not stick with the house group...weird dynamics. But I love my study and the people we have connected with in the class. There are a lot of people who are "desperate for community" and that includes us. I am excited and honestly a bit nervous because this is definitely a new stage in which our friends are going to be from all walks of life. No more same-age, same-stage, same-circumstances friends like we had in Blacksburg. The majority of women I have met here are single or my grandma's age but that is reality and I am loving it.
Okay, this is getting long but I do want to ask for prayer too. I have been having lots of anxiety attacks lately which have led to me feeling depressed. I don't think I have ever felt this "blue" before. I have definitely had my moments of being down but never like this. I finally made the connection that it all pretty much started when I began the class, group and study. I have come to the conclusion that this is a spiritual attack and therefore would really appreciate prayers. James 5:16 - "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." Thanks!!
