• We're home!

  Michelle spent her 72 hours in the hospital after the c-sect so I picked her up in the late afternoon.  After a day of running around.  She wanted some more outfits for the hospital pics (which she then didn't use), Kaden had an appointment at the doctors because his pnemonia sounding cough is back and we had to check that out, that then required a trip to the radiologist for x-rays (the doctor doesn't really think he has pnemonia again, just bad post nasal drip, but she has to be sure), then more driving back and forth - I feel like an unpaid taxi driver.  But they are all here tonight - Michelle in the main floor bedroom with Skyler, Sam and Kaden sharing a bed upstairs, Grandma great sleeping in one of Ken's twin beds (Ken's in Illinois), and Wilma and I are sharing the master bedroom.  Today is my husband's 53rd birthday but he's still in New Hampshire.  He's coming home to see his new grandson tomorrow.  I'll make a birthday cake for him for tomorrow's dinner.

  
  

  God bless my mil.  She cooked her heart out today - made pot roast, like only she can make.  Honestly, I've tried to make it her way and it just doesn't turn out half as good.  She has the magic touch.  Then she made sloppy joes for Michelle and Sam to have this weekend.  Tomorrow she's making them baked spaghetti, mac and cheese and I'll make bbq chicken for Dave's dinner.   My kitchen is getting a workout.  Oh yeah - she also did my laundry.  She wanted to come and help and did she ever!

  
  

  

  
  

  Grandma great (aka my mil) and Skyler, her 4th great grandson.  No girls yet.

  
  

  

  
  

  Michelle heading out of the hospital with Skyler.  She can't drive for at least 2 weeks and can't lift anything heavier than Skyler.  This is frustrating Kaden - poor little tyke.  He really doesn't understand this at all.

  
  

  She had to have the csect because the baby's head wasn't right for delivery and he was stressing with each contraction.  The OBGyn said he was all twisted and Michelle would have needed a birth canal the size of the Holland Tunnel in order for him to fit through the way he was situated. 

  
  

  Another move Michelle can't do and I was demonstrating for her - can you all guess what I'm acting out?

  
  

  

  
  

  Prize goes out to the correct guesser!

  They both take care of their babies.  Did I tell you that Kaden's baby is a boy?  Um, it's anatomically correct.  Made in France.  I should read toy labels better.  Who knew?

  
  

  I'm tired.  Dave is supposed to call at 11:30 p.m. since I was at the doctors when he called at 2:30.  So I may as well stay up and talk to you guys even though I'm falling down tired!

  
  

  I think the happy family is going to sleep at their house tomorrow.  We'll see.

  
  

  Hugs.
