Survival

This day is dedicated to my lifetime friend and cousin in California who is "surviving" her first few weeks with her newborn son.  I frequently borrow one of the songs played at their wedding reception "I will survive" to try to get through days like today.

No nurse came at all today, one delay after another with the back up plan.  Still some compromised immune systems and coping mechanisms over here for the little people, but we're moving in the right direction and Ellie is still very well.

A bath at the end of the day got us both in the right frame of mind.

Thanks Mom, that feels good. 

 

No, thank you Ellie!

The awesome news is that tomorrow is our first ever 12 hour shift due to the loss of hours today.  The nurse will be here 8:00-8:00!
