20th Day Post Surgery – Sunday September 28, 10:00 PM
Today was pretty uneventful. My mom took the day shift so that Afton and I could go to church with the kids but as soon as I got home to change I realized I have not given much thought to laundry and literally everything I own is dirty. So I began doing some laundry using cold water (it will be nice when we get the warm water back).
When the family came back from church we ate dinner. It was nice to have that moment together where things felt like our normal family. After dinner we packed the kids into the car and came over to the hospital to relieve my mom and to let the kids hold Lilee. Up to this point all I have posted have been nice staged shots of the family in the room - however it is rarely like that. In fact the visits are more like a semi-controlled chaos. Despite that I still LOVE to see my kids hold their new sister. I absolutely melt when they are so gentle and whisper to her - its almost like for a brief moment in time they understand what is going on.
