God Induced Amnesia??

I remember when Danielle came to visit me right after Jackson was born. First of all it was immensely helpful (THANK YOU DANIELLE!) and secondly I recall waking up and sitting on the sofa talking with her and having her say that she had totally forgotten just how tired you are with a new infant. At the time I thought she must be either crazy or trying to let me know that it does get better and that in the future my bed would go back to being a place where I would dream instead of the place I would just day dream of visiting.
Well, as happens often in my life. . .I now understand. Being with Carolyn and Cora this weekend has been so wonderful! Cora is precious and Carolyn not only looks fantastic but is a fabulous mother. But I have to notice that getting up every two hours with an almost 4 month old baby is pretty darn tiring. With Jackson only 14 months old I have already forgotten not only how not pleasant the process of bringing him into the world was but also how sleep deprived I was in the beginning. The only plausible explanation for me being able to recount (verbatim) conversations I had with Jay (much to his dismay) at 19 years old yet forget a period of my life that lasted for months only months ago is that God gives us temporary amnesia so that we'll talk ourselves into doing it again. Either that or just the nature of being sleep deprived makes our brains unable of committing anything to long term memory. . .

Anyway, the weekend has been great so far and here are some adorable pictures of sweet baby Cora!
