Well, I'm home for a few hours to spend some time with Hannah (and Jenna when she gets home from school) and I thought I would do a quick post because Hannah's been sleeping since I got here (of course!).
Cohen had a G-Tube placed in his tummy yesterday. He is finally waking up from the anesthesia/pain meds and is recovering nicely. He opened his eyes earlier today and I realized how much I missed those baby blues! Seeing them again was really reassuring. We fed him his first feeding by tube this afternoon and he went back to sleep immediately after his belly was full :) It felt so great to satisfy his hunger after so many days of struggle. Hopefully he can come home tomorrow if all goes well today. In the meantime, I am on hiatus this afternoon to see my girls while daddy sits with his son. I've really missed them. It's so darn difficult to divvy up time so all three kiddos get quality mommy attention! But I guess it's always that way when you're the mom of multiple children, right? *sigh* I thank God for my mother-in-law! If it wasn't for her presence, things would be so overwhelming right now. She's made a huge difference just by being here and by helping with the girls.
I will post more as soon as we get home and are settled in - maybe Saturday? Hope you all are doing well.

I'm glad you guys have extra support there with you. I didn't realize Cohen was back in the hospital but I'm glad he is doing well. Don't feel bad about dividing your time between the kids it is, like you said, the norm when you have more than one child. Hope things continue to go well.
Thanks for takin a few minutes and updating on the status at Watkins Manor. I am so sorry that things are not calming down yet but at least you have a GREAT ma-in-law to help you out! I am so glad she can be there for you guys. It's about TIME that someone's MIL comes in handy! ;-) Now we'll have to live vicariously through you for having a helpful, useful, interested MIL! Hope things start getting better and you guys get some much needed down time. Lemme know if you need me to talk or anything!
