Today the NP on duty (not our usual NP) called and said to plan on bringing Kimball home on Thursday. I don’t know if I believe that. Our usual NP is back tomorrow, and she is the calm voice of reason. These others who rarely see our children are the ones who do this crazy kind of stuff. We’ll see what she has to say. Last Sunday she said not to plan on it before the weekend. Their charts say not to discharge them until they go 5 days without an episode. Well, they each have about 1 a day. Kimball had one tonight. The other option is to send them home on monitors.

/Tomorrow I’m supposed to go do what they call nesting. I basically go play mommy all day. I take care of them all day in the nursery. Diaper, feed, burp, nap/pump, rinse and repeat. Of course tomorrow is when the boys are supposed to get circumcised. I don’t know if I can stand to be there when they take them away. I’ll probably cry. I feel physically ill when I think about it, but my OB assured me she’d be very gentle. They usually do it in the evening after all of the deliveries and things. Maybe I won’t be there. If it does happen before I leave, that will make things interesting when I’m nesting. I guess it will be practice for days they get their shots. I just hate to know they are in pain.

/This rollercoaster of “They’re coming home. No they’re not. Yes they are. No they’re not.” is becoming tiresome.
