Steady

Today was steady.  Nothing much was new.  Henrik is a bit constipated, but otherwise his breathing is steady as is everything else.  His color is good.  He continues to look just like Anders.  He was woken up by his nurse to rearrange him and all of his business, and he subsequently held my hand for a while.  I did a duet with Brother Bear, a Muppet-style number that Henrik seemed to enjoy so much that he was asleep by the time Anna returned from pumping. 
Henrik seems a lot more mellow and sleepy than Anders at this point.  Again, Anders wasn't out at this point.  He is smaller, his color seems better, he's more laid back, and he looks just like Anders.  That's what we know so far.  I jumped into the rabbit hole of comparing Anders and Henrik last night by checking information that I'd posted on this blog four years ago, which led to a nasty little bout of insomnia, so I won't be doing that again for a while. 
I believe we are supposed to see the sun again tomorrow for the first time in over a week.  That must be some kind of record because it's always sunny down here, even on cloudy days.  Also, there were snow flakes spotted in the NW suburbs.  I'm hoping the projected Thanksgiving freeze turns into a killing frost because it would be nice to do in the bugs for a couple of months.
As you can tell, the visit was uneventful today, but in a good way.
