It really surprises me at how much I slept today. I was only awake for about an hour and a half this morning before I had to lie back down. When I woke up again, it was almost 3pm. A good friend shared with me that, “sleep is one of God’s greatest and most important gifts for our health.” I find great comfort in that. I do believe the flu is almost all gone from my system, just waiting for this cough to pass. My biggest struggles are weakness, exhaustion, and a racing heart. All of these issues are due to my very low blood levels, coupled with the fact that I just gave birth 11 days ago, of course. I asked my Mom if she would be ready to go home this weekend and she told me she doesn’t think I’m ready to be on my own. I agree with her, but just feel bad she’s been “stuck” here for almost two weeks already. I wonder when I’ll be able to get up and care for my babies on my own? My OB said it will take months until the levels rise, so I try not to get too discouraged. Typically I am able to play with Jase for about half an hour or so before I am just wiped out. I am thankful that each day I’ve been able to spend quality time with each baby, even if it’s not for super long. 

(I still look this bad though, haha!)
