Kurt went to the hospital alone today. Dorian and Faith went to playgroup without me, so I had a very restful day.

Kurt reports that Quinn is his old vigorous self again. Apparently he nearly flopped himself out of his bed. Kurt got to kangaroo him today, so things are looking up. He is STILL NPO, and I'm so frustrated by that, but they are hearing gut sounds now, which they hadn't before, so maybe soon. I think I will decrease my milk supply. I've done that before and brought it back up to full force, so I know it's possible. I'm just having a hard time picturing Quinn ever consuming as much as I've produced, when hopefully someday soon he'll be taking it directly from me. And in the mean time, I'm really running out of freezer space. It's amazing how people can subsist on IV nutrition. Yesterday the nurse told us Quinn is a little over a kilo now, so about 2.2 pounds. And we're coming up on three weeks now. In some ways it seems like an eternity. But occasionally I wonder where the last 10 years or so have gone. Aren't I still 17? And if so, where did all these kids come from? Time is a funny thing.

Today's list:
1. I'm grateful Quinn is acting like his old self again.
2. I'm grateful I got a long rest today.
3. I'm grateful Kurt has a good job that allows him flexible hours so that he can take the time he needs for our family.
4. I'm grateful I can stay connected with people through the internet.
5. I'm grateful for the beautiful spring weather and the flowering trees. We really do live in a pretty place.
