Before 8 am

6:30 am - Wake up to Ky fussing and boobs about to explode because I am too lazy to pump in the middle of the night

6:33 am - Ky starts eating - eats less than one ounce

6:36 am - Ky burps up half an ounce that she tried so hard to suck down and is now wailing because not only is she still empty but she is burning

6:40 am - Give AM round of meds (3 different syringes) This requires you to hold her down and gag her while blowing in her face to get her to suck it down or it all comes back out.

6:55 am - Ky is still screaming and empty

6:57 am - Try to get her to eat more- unsucessfully of course

6:59 am - hold her head and administer an additional 2 ounces of milk like medicine

(yes this whole process seems very inhumane... and she cries, then I cry, then I call troy and have a breakdown... and two hours later we start all over again)

7:00 am - Owen is peeking out of his room ready for breakfast... I give him something and tell him to go watch a movie until I get done feeding KY and PLEASE be quiet and don't wake Ross

7:02 am - Ky still fussing... try again with food- nada, passy nada, swing nada

7:05 am - Go empty her colostomy bag and change diaper- REALLY screaming now!!

7: 15 am - Ky has screamed herself out during the change and Ross is now talking in his bed- so much for him sleeping in

7:18 am - Ky passes out in her seat under the kitchen heat lamps

7:19 am- cut up fruit for Ross' breakfast- get him up- cahnge his entire bed because of course we need to take off our diaper in teh middle of the night...

7:25 am - Breakfast for all except Ky- who refuses to eat

7: 30 am - Ky has now succesfully taken 2 ounces and only spit up 1/2 ounce and is sleeping.. time to check email...

7:31 am - sit down to check email- Ky screaming- still hungry

7:33 am - Ky attacks the bottle... manages to down a whopping 1/2 ounce... needs to burp- thus we come to the end of this portion of the feeding... she won't suck on that bottle anymore!

7:37 am - put Ky back in swing with passy.. she is resting...

7:42 am - Owen is now beating Ross because Ross is turning OFF the TV... seperate boys and send to respective rooms

7:43 am - Owen screaming... Ross wandering down the hallway- yeah he TOTALLY understands the "go to your room" punishment- NOT

8:00 am - Ky still napping thank god- try to get laundry done... dryer- full... washer- full and soured... Ky now screaming again... time for round 3.
