Wednesday, 6/22
Today was a good day, or a good half day for me! Martin went in early and I stayed home and packed for a while. A little role reversal that I think did us both some good. When I got there Dinky was fast asleep in his daddy's arms.
The highlight of the day is something that got everyone in our room laughing. Martin was changing Dinky's diaper and, those of you know Martin know he likes to take his own sweet time with things. Well, Dinky was having none of that. He was in the middle of changing him when Dinky pooped in a very projectile fashion! It was the shot heard 'round the NICU. We were all laughing so hard even the charge nurse peeked in to see what was going on. Unfortunately (or fortunately) Martin caught much of it in his hand. The rest went on the bedside cart at the foot of Dinky's bed. And I do mean top....to bottom! Our poor nurse had to give up her drink for fear it had also been hit. Needless to say Dinky was very content after that and fell into a deep sleep.
Driving home from the hospital (in the rain) we saw a beautiful full rainbow. What's so special about this is that I saw it. A month ago I'm not sure I would have noticed or taken the time to admire it. The fog is definitely lifting.

What a funny story! Poor Dinky and poor Dinky's dad will forever have to listen to the story of that time in NICU when....! We heard it first here, and I'll bet no one reads it without laughing out loud!
And I'm so happy that the fog is lifting for you, sweet J-Pooh. I could see it in your face in the recent pictures. love...

"Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it,
And look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me."
You two dreamers deserve a rainbow, and so does Dinky. You have earned it. It's amazing and keeps us stargazing. Don't stop.
Love ya,
Pa
I love you so much, honey!
