I have been connecting to many blogs from mom's who have seemingly normal lives, until you find out that their daily routine involves a sick child of some sort.
I can sometimes get lost and upset in my daily routine of diapers, sidewalk chalk, sippy cups, laundry and dishes, but I am so thankful that those are the only trials facing me every day.
Take for instance MckMama, a mom 4 who's baby boy Stellan wasn't even supposed to make it to birth and he is now 5 months old!! well you can read about it here.
I can't imagine having to deal with that, the worst moment of my life with any of my kids was in August of 2005, when my oldest son fell out of a second story window. I am so thankful he was okay.
I also read about baby Soli. She was born at 25 weeks and weighed only 25oz..she was due around the same time Julianna was. Can you imagine!!??
That mom has other children, too, who she calls differently-abled..both moms are really setting a fine example of the challenges facing moms today. I pray for their babies, for them and I thank God for what he has dealt me. He really does know our own personal limits and I believe that he never gives us more than we can handle.

I have truly been blessed to have children with all their parts, very few health problems, and I am so glad that I don't have more on my plate, but I think about these other moms all the time, it keeps my life in perspective.
Maybe you can go check out their stories, and find a little perspective of your own.
If not,that's fine too, it's all relative,isn't it?
