I can relate to the OCD level of a clean house! I was, too.

Was.

I had to really learn to accept tidy, not clean. It took a while and I knew eventually the babies would be old enough that I could go back to OCD level cleaning later. I had to constantly tell myself that if anyone didn’t think my house met their clean standards, they were welcome to clean it all they wanted.

It’s temporary. Your rest and sanity is MUCH more important right now.

Take the naps!
 
I remember! Were you the one who had doctors trying to scare you into an abortion because of medical risks of pregnancy at your age?

I’m thrilled you proved them wrong. 😎 Congratulations, mama!
 
Please bless this baby, Lord. Place a shield of protection around his little body and guard him as he grows. Keep the baby safe and healthy, Lord. Help this dear one to know he is deeply and wholly and forever loved – first by You, and then by so many of us. Bless this baby, Lord, and bless his parents.
 
Congratulations! I’ve been praying for you and your little one and I’m so glad to gave us an update. What a blessing.
 
Thank you so much for the GREAT up-date on you and your little man Matthew! It was such a privilege to pray for you both. May God richly bless you, little Matthew and your whole family. Don’t worry about the dust (Jesus wrote with His finger in it once), just take care of yourself, your little guy, and the rest of your beautiful family… the house can wait. God bless you Martha.

PS- Sleepness nights may be easier in your twenties, wow I wasn’t ready for that again! I slept great for 15 years oh boy. He’s also a bit of a fussy one…but I hear that goes away in a few month

At least this time around there IS Netflix or Audible 🙂

👍 When my first was born a fussy baby in the 1990’s Australia was airing the first seasons of both Seinfeld and Mr Bean in the early hours. Possibly not realising how popular they would become. I can definitely see signs of Mr Bean and Kramer in that child. 😁
 
Congratulations! May your little one bring you as much joy as my little midlife surprise has brought me. ( I was almost 46 when she was born.)

Life is always exciting, but I am so tired.
 
Congratulations and blessings! The best advice on here: nap when he naps.

I was 52 when our daughter came to live with us as an infant. Now she’s 23 and a beautiful woman. You’ll make it.
 
Dear MarthaSo,

Thanks be to God for your little son’s safe delivery and for your and your husband’s “Yes” to God at a time when so many choose not to say “Yes” as our Mother Mary said “Yes” to God and to Life!

By God’s Grace, may we all join with you in prayer this Holy Week, thanking God for loving us so much He sent His Son Jesus, through Mary to save us. May we by His Grace, return love for love, learning from Him – again through Mary our Mother and Model – how to love as He loves.

May your motherhood be as Mary’s, in a spiritual way, so that when you look upon your son you see by Faith, the Wonderful Work of God. Since you wrote this post when he was only 8 days old, he probably is not yet baptized. After his Baptism you will see the Wonder of His re-birth into Christ and you will rejoice even more!

May you and your husband and family all grow in wisdom, age, and grace as Jesus did on this earth. Blessings to all during this Holy Week, looking toward the Glory of this Easter Sunday and the Glory of Eternity beyond.
 
Congratulations!!!

My youngest was born when I was 43, and he is fine and we all survived!

One thing I wish I had done was to expose him more to younger children over periods of time so he could watch them grow. As the youngest in a house full of more-competent people, he had difficulty realizing he would get there.
 
Hi! I want to thank everyone again. my goodness you all lift my spirits! My son is colicky,… which I’ve always heard the term but never knew what that meant. None of my other children had that. I’d take sleep deprivation any day over this, but both it’s tough. Any of you all that have experienced this terrible time when they scream non stop seemingly in pain where as a mom you feel helpless and cry along with them (we’ve done Malecon drops, gripe water, vacuum noise…) Pediatrician said in 3 months it should be over.

To be honest the days are great but when evening approaches I get nervous because I know it will begin. As I try to calm him down in his screaming fits I plan what I will do when he’s a few months old and family vacations and his baby drawings to his momma… just to get my mind to remember this is temporary.

He’s my sweet blessing but I wanted to mention this in case any of you have experience dealing with this and can offer any sanity saving tips.

Thanks so much again everyone. I appreciate you very much.

Does he settle down when he lays on your chest “belly to belly”?
 
Hi. Sometimes he will after he eats but when in colic mode nothing settles him except loud white noise unfortunately. My vacuum worked great but it’s battery powered so when i heard the battery die so did a part of me 🙂
 
Walmart for a fan to run on HIGH?

New batteries?

If I were close by I’d bring you all the noisy things.

One of your teens can likely find something.

OH Turn the TV to a channel where there is no channel and crank up the volume.
