I may only have a few minutes to write, but I won't try and catch up the past 4 months. Right now it's Saturday evening, 6pm, Javier is sleeping on the couch with Declan sleeping on top of him, and Jack is just waking up from his nap. Needless to say, we haven't quite adjusted to day lights saving time yet. I'm a little sad because it's too bad we're not on an earlier schedule. I'd be pretty psyched to be putting the boys down to bed at 7pm, but looks like it will more likely be 9pm. The boys are napping later and going to bed later... it's nice because they see more of Javier when he gets home from work, but it also means there's no down time in the evenings.
This past week Declan has been sick with an ear infection - had to go to the doctor 3 times this week - Mon, Wed, and Fri, but finally he seems to be getting better. At least the fever is gone, but now the antibiotics he's on are screwing up his digestive system enough, that we're dealing with diaper rash. Boo. Fortunately I've been getting a lot of help this week from Mom (and Dad!) - went down to EW on Monday after the doctor, spent the night, and then back on Wednesday - Friday, so I could spend Thursday in NYC.
Thursday was great - I haven't been away from the boys for that length of time since Declan was born - left at 8:45am, and arrived back home at 7:15pm. I must admit, by the time I was leaving the city, I was so so ready to see the boys, it was like a weight in my heart. The whole drive home I could only think of how much I wanted to see them. Crazy. It's just that I'm not used to being away from them. I know that people can get used to anything (afterall, this is what it would be like if I went to work everyday and that I would get used to it) - but it made me appreciate the time with the boys, challenges, ear infections, no personal space and all. I had a great day though - got my hair cut and highlighted and I feel like the old me - it's so nice not to have to defer to the default pony tail. Today I got out of the shower and my hair was done. Hooray!
Today we went to Ikea - a full day and we could have spent more time there if the boys were game. We had lunch and strolled around for awhile, buying shelves for the laundry room, checking out the kids furnature. Jack fell asleep on the way home (around 2:30) woke up when we transferred him from the car to the bed, and went down til just about now. Going up to get him now, it'll be nice to spend some quiet time with him while Jav has Declan, since when Declan's awake, he's pretty commanding for my time.
