My me time.

There is about 20 min of each day where I don't miss James and enjoy being by myself. Usually Zoe wakes up between 4:30-6:00 to eat, before going back to bed for a couple more hours (because I want to sleep more!). I usually feed her in my bed, and then put her back in her crib.

I climb back into bed and enjoy stretching out and having the whole bed to myself. I can lay in the middle, I can sleep diagonally, I can stretch like I'm doing a jumping jack. It's great. I just enjoy the feeling of the sheets against my skin as I drift back off to sleep. At night I'm used to him being there, so its not the same even though I have just as much space. In the morning James always got up for work early, so it feels normal not to have him there as it's starting to get light again. And I know one more sleep has gone by, and I'm that much closer to seeing him.
