Aunt Jill Is Coming



Today was an exciting day for both Paxton and Susanne. They could not wait until Aunt Jill arrived. Jill was pretty excited too. She had been anxiously awaiting the day that she could finally meet the little guy. Jill was a very important part of the family. She was like a fourth sister to Susanne. They had known each other for almost fifteen years, and during five of those years they were roommates. They had been through so many ups and downs together. They were there for each other through thick and thin. This was for sure going to be a special moment in their lives. Now if she could just get here already!

Susanne spent the day trying to tidy up the house and do some household chores. This was of course with the emphasis on try because it definitely did not work out as planned. Susanne continued to be a slave to the pumping and feeding schedule. It was a vicious cycle that always made the day fly by without allowing for any time to do much of anything else. The only positive side to it all was that it was all for the sake of precious Paxton.

Moppy picked up Jill from the Metro station and brought her to Susanne's house. After a warm welcome from both dogs, Jill finally got to meet baby Paxton. She was so filled with joy and seemed like she couldn't get enough of him. Jill came ready to work and insisted that she be shown how to disassemble Paxon's NG feeding when it was completed. She offered to take on that responsibility overnight just like Aunt Leenie and Gigi had before in order to give Susanne a little bit more time to catch up on sleep.

Susanne decided that it might be a good idea for Moppy to come over every night this week to learn how to set up and disconnect Paxton's NG feedings. This was because Moppy was going to be watching Paxton, for the short term, when Susanne starts work next week.

Jill and Susanne stayed up late into the evening catching up on lost time. Being at a loss for words had never been a problem for those two.
