I don't think anything in life has made me realize how inadequate I am as being a mom. Every time Micah falls asleep, it hits me.

All day long, I'm there for his every need, and even before his needs a lot of the time, like when it's been 3 hours and I know he's probably hungry. Or when he starts to fuss after he's been awake for a couple hours and I swaddle him up quickly before it turns into an all-out cry fest.

Then I put him down at night, and this huge understanding of how not-enough I am rushes into me. There are some things mommies can't do. That only God can take care of. And laying him in his crib knowing that I won't see him again for about 5-6 hours just makes that so real.
