Time goes by so fast. Today Zora is three weeks old; next sunday she will be a month! All moms I've talked have told me to enjoy this time because babies grow so quickly. I am seeing how right they are. Its crazy to imagine that one day she won't fit in my arms anymore.
I am debating whether or not to go to church next week. I really want to. Nubmer one, I miss going-I need to hear the sermon and fellowship with my church members. Number two, next sunday is Resurrection Sunday(AKA Easter). Easter is such a time for bonding in my family and I don't want to miss out. The only thing is that in my family it is a tradition for all newborns and their moms to stay home until the baby is six weeks old. My mom is like, "It's just an old wives tale; don't worry about it". However she observed this tradition each time she had a child, as have all the mothers in my family. When my Grandma was alive, she made sure that all women did this. If she were still alive, I know I wouldn't even have the option; she'd simply command me to stay home & that would be the end of it. Maybe I'll just stay home; after all, there's always next year. Plus we will have people over for dinner after church, so its not as if though we will miss out on everything.
