The best part of my day

7am - Josie's food pump lets out the most shrill beep when it's done administering the continuous overnight drip.  It makes the pulse ox alarm sound like Mozart's most eloquent concerto in comparison.  I stumble into the kitchen, searching for three syringes and I fill one with Lasix, another with Prilosec, and a third with water.  I stare longingly at my Keurig knowing that it will have to wait, because I am a mother now and the baby comes first.  I think about that first morning diaper that frequently requires an immediate bath and the pajamas and sheets that may require immediate laundering (the joys of Lasix).  The cup of coffee will have to wait a little longer.  Then I see this face...
...and I can't wait to do it again tomorrow.

    What a neat sleeper she is. My son pulls his sheet over his head and wriggles until he is blanket free.
