First day alone!

Well I survived my first day at home with both of the boys! Ryan went back to work today, and I am sure he was so excited. It went well for me and the little boys. Granted we had nothing going on and didn't leave the house (we couldn't actually leave the house as my car died this morning and it was raining all morning so we were stuck inside). But it was a pretty good day.

Last night was not a good night and Eli didn't want to go to sleep EVER, so I was tired. I was nervous as to how this day was going to go. But it went great, Eli slept today so I did some laundry and played with Caleb. Then we all took LONG naps this afternoon. Well, I took a long nap, the boys took normal naps. But essentially that means we all woke up at the same time and I didn't get much else done today which I am fine with.

Tomorrow will be a different day. We have an Anticoagulation appointment at Seattle Children's at 9:15. I have no idea why we have to go to it as he got a blood draw last week and his Heprin levels are fine. But oh well. So we will be up and at um bright and early tomorrow morning. But I figure it will be a good practice run for us trying to get out of the house. The other thing that annoys me about this Anticoagulation apointment is that I didn't even know it was scheduled until last Wednesday when I was at my Cardiologist appointment and it printed out with that next appontment on it. And why does it have to be so early in the morning? I obviously didn't make that appointment. Then when I talked to the guy today about Eli's last blood draw and levels he said I will need to go back to the lab sometime this week and have another one done. No one told me that! Apparently I will have to do that every week for awhile, also no one told me that! So I either have to go to Bellevue Children's or Seattle Children's to have that done and I have to do it at noon every time. How annoying. That is lunch/nap time for all three of us! But that is just my rant for that day. Really everything else is going great!

Another fun thing, we were also able to go to church for the first time in 5 weeks yesterday. That was great feeling like we were getting back into a bit of our normal routine. We made sure only healthy people got close to us and people seemed to respect that! But it was really great to get out of the house as a family that wasn't just to a hospital. Caleb was really excited to go to Sunday school and didn't even want to finish singing with us, which is usually his favorite part of church. I guess he was really excited to show off his brother because apparently he kept telling everyone that "Eli is here"! So cute!

So we are on the road to normal life, and I am pretty excited!
