Flying Solo!

Hello, friends!

Today is a big day at La Casa Leong. Well, I guess what I really mean is that TONIGHT is a big NIGHT at La Casa Leong. Why? Because tonight will be the first ever, Leong family Boy's Night!!!

Megan will be going to a woman's retreat with our church this weekend. It's just a quick 24 hour thing and the retreat site is less than 2 hours from CoMO but it will be the first night since Ezra's been born that Meg will be out of the house without him. What does that mean? It mean's Boy's Night! =0).

God has already shown us so much grace in preparation for this weekend. Ezra and I have spent extended hours together before and I'm no stranger to the Mr. Mom thing. However, my one concern was the overnight feeding. See, biologically speaking, I can't feed him as quickly as Meg can if he gets up hungry in the middle of the night. It's just not possible. My fear coming into this weekend was that I was going to wake up in the middle of the night, he was going to be screaming because he was hungry, and it would take me too much time to get him a bottle. Then he'd be so wired from all the crying that he wouldn't be able to fall back asleep. That would lead to a long day for both of us, and eventually Meg would come home to two crabby Leongs.

Well, thankfully, for about the past week or so, Ezra has been sleeping through the night! He's getting up a little bit earlier than he used to get up but he's not getting up at 2 or 3 like he was before so everyone wakes up much better rested and considerably happier. Praise Jesus for development!

Now, the concern is the weather. See, the plan was to go on lots of walks, visit a swing set or two at a park, and generally enjoy the Spring weather. Unfortunately, the forecast calls for rain on both Friday and Saturday, which means we risk 2 things: cabin fever and migraines.

So, friends, if you think of me between 5pm Friday and 5pm Saturday, please say a prayer for us Leong Boys. Pray that this will be a good time of connection for the two of us. Pray that Meg will be fully present at the retreat. Please pray for good weather. And if it rains, pray against migraines for me.

Have an excellent day!
