the 5 senses

I find it amusing that while my heightened sense of smell/taste from pregnancy days is lessened (although somehow I still am the only one who still smells all the dirty diapers! :) ), I have picked up the mother's heightened sense of hearing. I can hear my daughter's cry across the house, upstairs, below a loud ceiling fan and behind a closed door. I am also hearing the music from my children's toys even when they are not on...but that is another story. Can you tell I have been subjected to too much noise recently??? And everyone knows that moms have eyes in the back of their heads. As for touch? A mother's touch is often the only soothing one. God must place these five senses on high alert in moms knowing we would need them.
