Even though Susanne and Colleen didn't have to wake up to feed Paxton at 3:00 am, Paxton decided he wanted to spend time with them anyway. Susanne woke up to him crying incessantly. This was not a common thing for him at all. It seemed that he could not get comfortable and that his stomach was upset. Susanne changed his diaper and performed a little gastric massage. Colleen sat with Susanne for moral support. After a short time, he appeared to be feeling much better. The girls finally got to go back to bed.
When Susanne got up to take care of Paxton later that morning, she saw the remnants of what was causing him issues all night. He was much happier and greeted Susanne with a smile. It was moments like these that were priceless.
The rest of the day was spent going through their normal routine...NG feeding, therapy, playtime, nap. Rewind. Repeat. Susanne was able to complete some more items on her to do list, but was unable to finish it.
Susanne got creative with dinner and made a homemade sauce to go over some linguine. It turned out to be pretty tasty. It always made Susanne laugh when all of the animals would come out of the woodwork when she was eating.

Susanne~ I just read every single post from January until now over the course of a few days. I am 36.5 weeks pregnant with our first kiddo, a boy, and he has Ebstein's Anomaly. It was diagnosed at 19weeks. Your blog has been such a source of positive inspiration and energy for us. As the time gets closer, we know it is still a "wait and see" game. My family and I have really all enjoyed reading your blog and have similar things in common: we love our temperpedic bed, as well as rescuing animals, especially dogs! We are over on the west coast but have been rooting for Team Paxton since following your blog. I have been off the blogging scene for about a year but this just may be the best way to keep family and friends updated. Anyway, your strength to continue pumping, changing your diet, working, as well as loving your baby, husband, family, and friends is honestly amazing! You are doing something right, girl!
