Our 1st day!!

Today was the 1st full day home with Grace and it was not so easy. The day started out hectic with Gavin getting up early and Grace deciding not to stick to her schedule of eating every 3-4 hours. She instead decided to eat smaller more frequent meals today. This would not have been such an issue if she had better timing. She would decide to eat at the same time Gavin was earting or needing changing. Poor Gavin ended up walking around in his diaper for 1 and 1/2 hours while I calmed Grace down because if I set her down to go get his pants she would have continued to scream. This is going to take some better planning like making sure I have Gavin's PJs ready to go downstairs for when Grace decides that she is discontent.

Since Grace is not as easy to move around the house due to being connected to oxygen and monitors it is not as easy to do everyday tasks. If your holding Grace and you need something on the other side of the room, you have to make the choice of putting her down to cry....ordeciding how badly you need the object that is not within 2 feet of you. This will definitley make me better at planning out the simplest tasks of the day.

So far we have made it through day 1.....just many more years to go.....
