God gave me a new gift when He gave us Liam. It's called Mother's Intuition.
It's developing within me more and more each day. Sometimes it's a gut feeling or a silent understanding, even when my child can't express himself with words.
A moment ago, it was a feeling I just couldn't ignore. I was in the basement, doing laundry, when suddenly I had a compelling reason to check on Liam in his bassinet.
I dropped everything that I was doing and ran upstairs. As I breezed past a sleeping Macy in the living room, her calm demeanor began to suggest that I was probably being overly protective and worrisome.
But, when I walked into the bedroom and saw that Liam had inadvertently brought the blanket covers up over half of his face (including his mouth and nose), I immediately fixed the problem and thanked God for my new mommy superpowers.
