Home and Away

This week, has been a very busy week, I have been away from home for a few days on work related assignments.

I was worried because it was going to be the first time to leave the little boy – Mnara behind. And most of all leaving Chris with three kids. This was one of the fears I had before when we were thinking about a having  third baby, I kept wondering how my hubby will deal with three kids because I tend to travel a lot. 

Of course the fears that I will come back and the baby will refuse to breastfeed.

The fears that he will be very cranky at night and my hubby will have sleepless nights. 

How will they cope? You know, just the mother hen syndrome!

I thank God

They all did just fine. The kids were great, they slept well, ate well, we talked over the phone and Chris assured me that our family was in order and I should just concentrate on my assignment. 

I was so relieved and I was able to work even better. Mnara slept so well, there was one night when he did not wake up at all. Oh my goodness! He slept from 8pm- 5am and Chris was so thrilled. I think the boy figured out, what the use of waking up – there is no breastfeeding after all!!!!

I was thankful to God that Chris had a good time with the kids.

I carried the breast pump with me, so that helped a big deal to ensure the milk keeps flowing. The boy is back to breastfeeding!

Thank you Lord, for everything! It may seem not much, but you have no idea the AGONY I went through when I learn that I was going to be away from home for a few days!

Thank you Lord, for your grace and mercy. That carries me through.

On my way to the venue of the meeting. I met a herd of giraffes. I think it was an awesome site! And a good reminder that the God who takes care of them in the wilderness, will take extremely good care of me and my family.

The herd.

 I think I need to invest in a good camera so that I can be getting good shots!

Have a thankful Thursday!
