Kathy's complications are still serious enough for her to second-guess whether or not to come home today around noon - but, by 5:00 or so we decided to ditch the joint. About 7:00 I made my white-knuckle drive home. We dropped off Kathy's prescription on the way home, then after dropping everyone off I went back to get her meds. Kathy fed Kole while I was gone, and by the time I got back I burped him and he started going nuts. Crying and crying and crying - which has actually not been characteristic. Unless he's hungry, he's been very chilled out and content. But he went on and on, we changed a diaper, put a new onesie on him, still crying and crying. Finally I just tried putting him in his little swing. Still squirmy and crying, I turned on the sound - sounds of rushing water, or sounds of the womb, or something like that. Instant silence. Content as can be, silently rubbing his face.
What a wild last few days. Looking forward to finding some sort of sense of normalcy around the house.
Normalcy, that's a good one. Your life will be normal again when Kole goes to college. He is so cute, I wish I was home to sniff his head. I will give y'all a break when I get home.
