I have cried many, many tears in the night (and day for that matter). Can you guess why?
On a good note, though, I will probably be able to meet April Jo!
My kids and grandbabies are supposed to move next Friday. Andrew has accepted a position in another county that is an hour and a half away (if you are driving fast). They now live around five minutes away. With all the other stress in my life, this feels unbearable. Andrew is living out of a hotel while Nikki is by herself with a newborn and toddler. She has done an awesome, amazing job. Andrew left the week before Mason was born. He was able to be home three days when he was born and then had to go back. Nikki came home from the hospital (after a c-section) and stayed that night and every night since by herself with the babies (well, they are both babies to me). She is packing up the house too.
Sometimes at night when I go to bed, I feel like I need to be up pacing the floors. I am praying for them and everything constantly. I know I am all gloomy and sad, but I do thank God it is not farther away. Andrew and I had a good laugh the other night when I told him I was the only one sad. But really, Martha’s family is devastated. Nikki is happy and sad. She is leaving her mom when her mom is having health problems. It is going to be a lot harder for her than Andrew, of course. Haley loves her home now, so I hope she can adjust easily. Mason will be fine as long as his mommy is right there. 
As for me, I am already falling apart. lol Mark is happy for Andrew, but I tell Andrew (he hates hearing it so much I know), if he is not doing right and being the husband and father he needs to be, it means nothing to me. It is a blessing for him to be able to provide for his family and Nikki be home with the kids, but it will not be a blessing if Andrew does not uphold his responsibilities as a dad and husband.
Wednesday I stayed with the babies so Nikki could go help Andrew find a place for them to live. Nikki was so upset to be leaving Mason so little (not even three weeks old). I love that she wants to be with her kids!! Anyway, I got to spend some wonderful time with my grandbabies. Haley loves Mason, and she loves being able to use some of his stuff. 
She looks like such a big girl now. I gave her a bath and had to quickly run back and forth from the bedroom checking on Mason.
She is my little sweetheart!!!
Mason is the best baby I have ever seen in my life!! He is such a darling! I layed beside him as he and Haley took a nap and probably took 15 pictures of him on my phone. It is so precious to see his different expressions as he sleeps.
Ahhh, I am so in love with this little guy!! He has already captured our hearts!!! God has greatly and wonderfully blessed us with wonderful grandkids.
When Nikki got home that evening, I told her I had great respect for her after keeping the babies all day. I don’t know how she does it day after day. I was totally exhausted but it was worth every minute!!
Please keep us in your prayers.
