I held the small baby in my arms, only ten weeks old at the time. Sitting on the edge of the bed in my son’s nursery on that fateful night, I asked God for advice. I was returning to work the next morning and I knew nothing would be the same again. What am I to do? I am sure every new mother has asked that question at least once.
