This has been a tough day, being confronted with the medical community's bleak outlook on Sammy's future.

The babies woke up earlier than usual again, but we waited till 8 am before getting up and making their breakfast.

Last night I went to bed earlier than usual, but I couldn't tell the difference today. The little ones needed milk at 6 am - during Randy's time slot - and then already woke up at 7:30, half an hour earlier than usual. But we waited till 8 am to get up and get started. When I fed them, they hardly wanted to eat.

Last night I went to bed at 3 am, only to get up half an hour later or so, just when I was about to fall asleep, to give them milk. In the morning they woke up at their regular time of 8 am, we fed them, cleaned them, dressed them, and Randy took them downstairs, while I went back to bed.
