“In Blessings, New Mom, author Ellie Hunja invites new mothers into the safe, loving arms of Jesus as she honestly addresses every wave of emotion, challenge, and exhaustion during the trying yet beautiful postpartum time. You will feel seen as you navigate the equally blissful and troubled waters of sleep deprivation, late-night feedings, and overanalyzing your baby’s every whimper with this devotional. You will also be gently reminded that you get to rest in the arms of Jesus and let Him lead you through every high and low that new motherhood brings. Blessings is not only a must-read for every new mother, but every mother, no matter what motherhood stage you are in.”

“Ellie Hunja gets it. She understands two opposite emotions can coexist in motherhood at any given moment. She gets that you can wonder if God could get any better or if he’s left the nursery for you to fend for yourself in the late night when your newborn just won’t settle. Joy and sorrow. Empowered and insufficient. Her words coupled with the sweet promises of God are a gift for both new and old mamas alike.”

—Meg Raby, writer at ScaryMommy.com and children’s author of the My Brother Otto picture book series
 
“Early days with a newborn can be such an emotional roller coaster of love, joy, doubt, overwhelm, and exhaustion. Thankfully, Blessings, New Mom offers mommas much-needed hope, encouragement, and eternal perspective—all in beautifully written, bite-sized devotions perfect for those blurry years.”
