Does another word exist? Not lately. Not in my house.
Abby's been sick on her stomach since yesterday morning. Two days of a sick, fevery, pukey kid. Emily's still sick and congested too.
I'm just plain tired.
Abby's holding her own, so I guess that's good news. I'm not sure how she's not sicker with how little she's been able to take in. She has to turn around tomorrow, or I'm sure she'll need some IV fluids. I don't think she'd be admitted based on what I can see. But who knows?
This is when twins are sooooo hard. Oh my gosh, they are so hard. They need so much. Their lives depend on vigilance. My arms actually ache from holding Abby all day today. She chokes on throw up and I have to physically hold her head forward because she instinctively throws it back. Beyond physically needing me, she just needs me. She needs her Momma. I want to be there because she needs me, but I really want to put her down. She's 13 and 65 pounds. It makes for a long 48 hours.
This is just unglamorous motherhood. When it's 10:44 at night, I just finished the dishes, turned Emily and will check Abby's temp one more time before I try to get some sleep. The words to this song are fill my mind and as I sleep I pray they fill my heart.
It is no secret
I can't imagine what tomorrow will bring.
The chimes of time ring out the news
Another day is through
Someone slipped and fell
Was that someone you?
You may have longed for added strength
Your courage to renew
Do not be disheartened
For I have news for you
It is no secret what God can do
What He's done for others, He'll do for you
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do
There is no night for in His light
You never walk alone
Always feel at home
Wherever you may go
There is no power can conquer you
While God is on your side
Take Him at His promise
Don't run away and hide
It is no secret what God can do
What He's done for others, He'll do for you
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do
