Marijo has been going to see the babies every chance she gets. I’ve been keeping Lew and working on the house or going in to work when I can. It’s so very hard to be at home with Lew, at the hospital with the kids, at work and with Marijo at the same time. I now see why even God is three persons! Aiden is eating very well and taking to the bottle like a champ. He’s actually eating too much too quickly and forgetting to breathe so his heart stops. That’s my boy. Audrey hasn’t mastered the suckling thing down yet but is getting close. She tries but still pushes forward a bit too much pushing the nipple out of her mouth. Aiden is doing so well that he may get his NG tube out today. They didn’t gavage him any in the last 24 hours. Both have lost weight back to where they were when they were born but are both putting it back on quickly. Marijo has been keeping them BOTH in full supply of breast milk (hallelujah).
Lewis got his new bed put together last night and couldn’t wait to go lay in it (with Dad of course). I can’t tell you how both uncomfortable and comforted I was last night when my 3 year old asked me to lay with him in a twin bed (I’m still sore). Lewis played on his Kindle with me, and when I said it was time, he reached up, turned his lamp off, shut his Kindle down, reached over and kissed me goodnight and went straight to sleep. Me being the pessimist, I picked him up and put him in our bed later last evening. When he woke up, he was angry he wasn’t still in his bed. Go figure.
Marijo is worried about going back to school already even though it isn’t until March. I’m sure leaving the kids is tough even if it’s for an hour much less 8 a day but you know what they say…
