Nothing new or exciting to report from last week. We continue to be stuck in the house and I'm not going to lie, it can get pretty boring. With just the kids and I, there is no mental stimulation for me, no socializing, no sunlight! I don't think I realized how hard being housebound was going to be. I was SO looking forward to getting out of the house with the kids for their doctor's appointment on Friday....and then I totally screwed it up! We always go at 2pm (the newborn slot so that there are no sick kids coming in) and I had in my head that that was when our appointment was. We got up at 6 am, did our morning feed, played and they both went back to sleep. I was feeling so fortunate that they were both actually napping at the same time that I decided to lay down for another hour or two. When I woke up, I had missed an alarm on my Blackberry. What was it for? My appointment that was at 9am!!! I called and rescheduled, but our pediatrician was leaving for the day at lunchtime and wasn't going to be back in the office until this Wednesday. I was so mad at myself for missing it - one, because I really wanted to talk to her, get them weighed and adjust their feeds. But two, because it was our ONE outing of the week! And they haven't gotten to leave the house since our last appointment, which was over two weeks ago! I cannot tell you how ready I am for warm weather and the end of Flu season! Only problem is that when that time comes, I will be headed back to work and Jack will be starting his paternity leave with the kids... Can you tell I'm bitter???:)
I cannot wait to see what they weight and how we are progressing. I was so upset about missing that opportunity on Friday, that I weighed them on my own scale...by getting on with and without them and subtracting the weight:) The kids probably think I'm crazy. And I won't report those weights since they are "unofficial." You'll just have to wait for the news on Wednesday!
We did bend the rules a little on Sunday to head to a friend's Superbowl party. It was only 7 people, including us, and we felt they needed a little change of scenery. This was their first social outing and they finally got to wear their snow suits - totally made my week!
