Midweek Check-in

[penguin129]

How's your week so far? What are you plans for the tail end of the week?

Monday was really hard for me being away from AG on Halloween. I discovered they were doing Trick or Treat at the Hospital and asked if I could go Trick or Treating for AG. They let me and I Trick or Treated on 3 floors of the hospital. AG made out like a bandit.

Late Tuesday morning I got word HL was being discharged. I had to pack up my entire room at the Ronald McDonald House and complete their cleaning checklist before driving the hour back home to meet AG and H. I spent a little over an hour resetting the house and getting it ready for HL's arrival. We left the hospital at 9 pm last night. H's parents came over for awhile. H and I stayed up until 4 am. I think we were just so happy to have both girls and the two of us in one location we didn't want it to stop when we went to sleep.

Today I'm cleaning and washing all the things. The girls' pedi confirmed they have to be separate so I am moving things around accordingly. I think H's brother's family is coming over tonight to visit.

Tomorrow is HL's first appointment with her Pedi. So far there are no plans for Friday.

You've had a busy and stressful time penguin129. Hope the girls don't need to be kept apart too long!

I feel like I have a million things to do in the next few days. I have to pick my in laws up at the air port tomorrow. Friday morning a repairman is coming to fix our dryer. Friday night my friend is coming over to take 6 month photos.

Im glad she's home penguin129 but I can't imagine the stress of keeping them separated. Hope your week goes smoothly!

Before I said to DS we could play outside but first I needed to change the LO's diaper. I ran upstairs to get some diapers really quickly and DS went outside while I was up there and left the back door partially open! I could not believe it. LO did not go outside but probably could have. Ugh. I totally flipped out him and he was so upset.

Anyway, we've been listening to Christmas music on pandora and I'm getting super excited even though it's 75 degrees today!

She's doing really well. My MIL tells me she is sure it was a mild case because AG had less than 10 or so blisters on her. We put a baby gate across our room/nursery and also made a day nursery in another area of the house that is fenced off. AG can see HL, but not touch her. We have to wait until the blisters are completely clear before AG can hold HL.

Oh, penguin129, that sounds really hard! It will only get easier.

Kids got their flu shots and DS had his 2 year appt. His BMI is off the charts, but the pedi says not to worry...but I feel like we must get on top of it and consume less and exercise more.

Everyone is feeling healthy after our long cold, although DS apparently has an ear infection. Nevertheless, we've been super busy. DD's Preschool, a playdate for DS, and miles of trick or treating on Monday. Tuesday was DS's preschool, outdoor playgroup for DD, a balance bike playdate for both kids, pedi, and then DD went to the library with the baby-sitter. Today I took Stroller Strides with DS while DD was at preschool and then we all went to the nature center to play and picnic. Tonight DS starts gymnastics. It's madness.

Last nice weekend, so might go camping, but there are a lot of kid events and our grown-up project list is long so we may just stay in town.

That's got to make things so tricky for you guys hopefully it doesn't last long

penguin129 I'm glad to hear you are all home! FX the girls can be together soon!

I know it is still early but we are going to our first Christmas thing tonight and I think it's going to be a lot of fun.

No real big plans for the weekend as it's my husbands weekend to work. If the weather is good tomorrow I think we are going to go to the zoo.

We have been in Virginia this week. Spent all day Tuesday driving and we were planning on leave sometime today. Found out last night that they are releasing my fil into hospice care tomorrow, and fil wants to see everyone tomorrow night. I guess we're going to leave on Sunday now.
