Also I spent my first night away from Koze last night...I was feeling totally exhausted and no matter how many naps I tried to take I felt like I couldn't get caught up on my sleep. I was starting to feel a little nuts and it was beginning to take very little to make me cry. So I decided it was time for a good nights sleep in a real bed. I called my aunt Marcy and asked if I could sleep in their guest room and then arranged for my friend Becky to give me a ride out there. (I'd like to mention that Becky is an amazing friend - she has a way of being there and showering a person in love in a way that is very nurturing and not at all draining. I am so happy that I got to spend some time with her while she's been here visiting from North Carolina.) When I got to my aunt and uncle's I was greeted by my 2 cousins, Brendon and Arria - 2 of the coolest individuals you could ever meet. Then after they left for their Christmas play rehearsal I sat down with my gma. We talked for a while and enjoyed some hot tea. I showered, put on some hillsong and had some amazing prayer time - for Koze and myself. I slept well and despite having to get up in the night to pump I woke up feeling refreshed and eager to get back to my little one.
Today has been a good one. Hopefully Koze will be going home within a week but if not I think I will take one night a week to sleep at my aunt and uncles and let myself recup.
Here's a pic of Koze from yesterday. He's growing so fast - gaining, somedays, twice as much weight as they expect a baby his age to pack on. So proud. :)
