Simple Pleasures

It’s nice to share some joy for a change.

Last night I talked them into letting Zen Baby return to breastfeeding, which made everyone’s night better. And honestly, I understand about not wanting to tax her poor little digestive system, but apple juice over breast milk??? Come on!!!!

This morning, they took her off of the morphine drip (which had been very speedily weaned to a negligible level) and removed the iv! Yay!

So now she’s totally mobile again Gramma will be giving her a spongebath today while I’m at work as she’s also very grubby. And then she’ll wear her own clothes for the first time in almost a week. Milestones abound today!

Diva Girl came up last night and had a lovely visit. I thought Zen Baby was going to pull some stiches, she was so excited to see her. Diva Girl was, in true 6 year old fashion, more concerned with acquiring sharing rights to her sister’s new Care Bear –the fact that she already has several of her own was apparently irrelevant .

Oh! And ask me where I’m typing this from!!!!

Go on, ask!!!

HOME!!!!!

Sorry, that’s a bit of a tease. We haven’t been released yet–Zen Baby is still at the hospital with my mom. But my freshly showered butt is sitting in the comfy rocking chair in my parents’ livingroom typing away on the laptop.

Ahhhh.

Have I mentioned that we’re learning to enjoy the simple pleasures?
