Thankful Thursday: Baby edition

Our baby girl was born last Wednesday! Her sisters adore her and her big brother has grown up overnight and has become a proud and protective oppa.(Korean word for older brother) My mom is here providing nourishing traditional seaweed soup, postpartum pumpkin tonic, darning our family's accumulated ripped and holey clothes and making many cups of tea. Most of all, she is loving my children as only a grandmother can. They've made mandu together and take long treks in the snow. I was surprised to hear that the boy who always needed to be carried walked a mile in the snow. 

I look forward to the return of normalcy--being able to carry my big boy and make my children their favorite meals. But in the meantime, I am asking God to deal with habitual sin that I've coddled during my pregnancy (the unholy raised voice, for one) homeschooling during stolen and intentional moments, and gazing at my newborn who has already surpassed her birth weight.
