Rainbow Bright...What a Sight!

There was another thunderstorm last night as Susanne was getting ready for bed. It had been a long time since she had remembered this many thunderstorms in such a short time. She was used to the rain, but the thunder and lightening added a whole other element.

Susanne had a hard time sleeping last night because her brain was on overdrive with things she needed to finish. At around 4:00am she got a text from Scott because he couldn't sleep either. They ended up talking on the phone for about thirty minutes before they forced themselves to try to get some shut eye. Susanne had to be up again at 6:00am to feed Paxton so she really needed to try hard.

Susanne was successful. She was awakened by her alarm clock long before she was ready to get up. If it weren't for Paxton, she would have definitely hit the snooze button.

Paxton and Susanne started the day off together. Paxton did well during playtime. Susanne was trying to push him a little more and more each day. For some reason, he was extra tired today, even more so than he had been in the recent past. He took much longer naps than he usually did. Susanne continued to let him dictate his own schedule somewhat because of his medical condition. If he wanted to sleep more, than he probably needed it. It was also a perfect opportunity for Susanne to catch up on a few things, including sleep.

Later in the day, Susanne was able to syringe feed a small amount of breast milk to Paxton while he suckled on her finger. He was always unsure whenever something new was introduced, but he seemed to handle it okay.

There was another thunderstorm this evening. It was pretty remarkable because the sun was still shining and the sky looked clear, but there was a tremendous amount of rainfall. The thunder and lightening decided to join the party again as well. Susanne knew that if she waited long enough, there would be a rainbow. Sure enough there was and it was a magnificent sight.

Susanne was counting down the days until Scott would be home. It had been two weeks since she saw him last. He would finally be coming home this weekend for a visit. They only had a total of three weeks left until he would be finished with his internship and moving back home for good. This was very exciting and a reason to celebrate.
