grams is home from the hospital and settling in at home. she has a modified walker for her wrist and now a potty chair. already she feels better at home.
on the other hand, MIL is having a horrible time with her chemo. she was really sick yesterday and today has to be admitted for iv fluids as she is dehydrated. i hope she feels better soon. i wish someone would come up with a cancer treatment where the cure doesn't feel worse than the disease.
we got a nice baby card and gift cert to our favorite chinese restaurant from one of hubby's bosses. that will come in really handy in the future!
yesterday the boy was the student of the day in his class. he got a sticker for having good behavior and came home with a booklet made up of pictures from the other kids, who also practiced writing his name.
saw my own doc yesterday - incision looks good but has a bit of a raw spot (the same area that has been giving me problems for about a week). i assumed it was a spot of HS but he said he saw nothing there except the lip of the incision. i go back in 3 weeks for another wound check, and (i surmise) they may be monitoring me for PPD as well. i had to fill out a PPD quiz, and i feel fine with the occasional cry. i chalked it up to the perfect storm of emotions last week - my hormones, boy going to school, grams falling, MIL's chemo. i was lucky to not have PPD with the boy and i really hope i'm okay with the twins. my supports have changed becos mom will be taking care of grams for the next few weeks, so i really need to buck up and learn to deal with the babies on my own.
i came up with my own solution to taking the boy to school in the morning. i was really dreading bundling the babies up to walk him to the bus stop. i was also worrying about how i would get some exercise in - i'd been planning on going back to swimming in october - but that might not happen if mom's not around. last night the solution came to me - provided that it's not raining or snowing, i can put the babies in the stroller and after the boy gets on the bus, take the babies for a walk. i do like exercising in the morning than any time of day, the babies get stimulated outside, i get exercise, the boy gets to school, it's a win times 3 solution!
i grocery shopped yesterday, time to roast the chicken.
