Re: Good news, but it makes me nervous
I take it this is her first? Sometimes people 'talk' a parenting philosphy before they have children that they would never impliment after they are handed that beautiful baby. I saw this on the Ezzo debate board from time to time - an expectant mom who had all the answers. One in particular was so 'superior' and hard hearted. It was such a blessing when she poped in for just one message three months after her baby came to tell us that 'she understands now'.
A dear friend of mine had a signiture block on her e-mails that said something like "before I had children I had five theories of childrearing, now I have five children and no theories".
Pray for her heart to be opened to her child, be there for support and modeling and rest in the ability of God to 'make all things new'
