Normality

Today was a normal day in the NICU. Claire is feeding well. The new nurse shared a new idea about how to care for the baby. I ran an errand between one set of feedings and napped between another. They talked of moving Claire to the Santa Monica hospital again.
They talked about letting Claire out in a few weeks.
We got a quote from a subcontractor about remodeling the nursery. Life is good. I worry a bit about going back to work next week. That will be a short phase of of pseudo-normalcy before the baby comes home. Then the long haul sets in. Though as one friend said while congratulating me upon hearing of our pregnancy a few months ago: "Get ready for non-stop action!"
