Bells and Whistles

Last night as Tom was hooking Tru up to his feeding tube the pump would not stop beeping. To back up a little bit...when we put Truman to bed at night we attach his feeding tube to him so we do not interupt his sleep when we plug him in to the pump nightly. Tom came in to our room after hooking him and made a comment about how the pump continually beeps an error alarm sometimes ( after two years of nightly feeding tube hook ups we still havent mastered the pump)...during the beeping Truman continues to sleep peacefully as if there were no interuptions or outside world. He is not disturbed in the least. I thought to myself...I am immediately awakened at the slightest noise anywhere. I am not sure if that is my motherly instinct or tghe fact that I am a light sleeper....the two could be connected and probably are. Anyway, back to the point...I also thought to myself that little Truman has been sleeping through alarms and pumps and noise since he was born. I often wonder how sad and abnormal it is for a child to be so used to alrams and pumps and rustling that he can sleep right through it. Maybe it is "normal" for him and I should stop worrying myself about things I can not change. (the funny part is...he can't seem to stay asleep when I want to take a nap) Is that divine intervention or just motherhood in general? I am going to step out on a limb and guess that it is motherhood.
