The Plan

When I woke up this morning I had a plan. Get the three older children to school, take Merlin breakfast at the hospital, bring Baby Girl home, vote, try to catch up on Mondays missed day at work, homework, clean, meeting...basically go back to normal.

Everything was going according to plan up until I came to the bring baby home step. When I got to the hospital Merlin informed me that Baby Girl did not do well during the night and the doctor wanted her to stay another night. Merlin and I did the changing of the guard so he could go to work. Bye-bye plan. I stayed at the hospital with my baby for the next 12 hours. I didn't get to vote. I didn't catch up on any work. I didn't help with homework. I missed my meeting and by the time I got home Big Sister, Little Sister and Brother were asleep. But I did clean. (I'm tired)

Tonight is Merlin and Baby Girl's second night at the hospital. I am hopeful that tomorrow Baby Girl will be able to come home. I think she will. By the time I left tonight she was only having breathing treatments every 4 hours instead of every 2, and she was completely off the oxygen.
