Since being home from the hospital it's been non-stop. Of course, our new non-stop is a lot less than what it used to be without baby. Tyler and I came home Saturday, June 16th after a quick trip into Walmart to get my prescriptions filled. Because from that point on, at least for two weeks, it's everyone or no one when it comes to getting out of the house. First off, I can't drive. Which stinks. Jerry has to be my taxi driver. Second of all, I'm not suppose to lift anything weighing more than the baby, Which means that leaving Jaxen with me is hard. I can't pick him up. I can't put him in his chair. I can't really change his diaper - because he kicks. I can't be the jungle gym that Jaxen wants me to be. So either we all stay home or we pack up all 6 of us and head out. And going out is exhausting! :-)
Sunday, June 17th - Father's Day - we stayed home and relaxed. I made my lists of everyone I have to call on Monday morning. The farthest we went was outside. The animals all needed a little TLC and the kids got to play and run around like crazy. Jerry played t-ball with the older two while Jaxen did his own thing. It was a nice evening outside with the family. A family friend stopped by to see the baby and chat - she even brought us some Panara Soup and Bread for dinner. It was delicious!!
Monday, June 18th - After calling everyone I needed to and filling up our schedule for the week. We had to get everyone ready and get out the door. Jerry and Tyler had doctors appointments. Tyler's was his newborn checkup - to get him established at our doctor's office. Mr. Tyler weighed in at 8 pounds 3 ounces and 20 inches long. We have to bring him back next Monday because his color was a little off - not a huge deal, since he was early, but they want to make sure we don't have to run blood tests, especially if we don't have to. Jerry's appointment was to get him vaccinated with the DTaP shot. He's the only one in the household who is not vaccinated with that shot and there is a lot of whooping cough going around. In order for him to get the shot, I had to get him established with the doctors office too. So now, the only two not established with our new doctor is Jacob and I.
Grandma and Grandpa stopped by to see us. They were out shopping for fireworks. Kids were happy to see them. After they left, we had another visit from a friend and another dinner delivered to us. This time it was fried chicken with potato & macaroni salad.
Tuesday, June 19th - Not too much happened around here. Jerry and Chloe took a good part of the day to volunteer at the KC Pet Project Animal Shelter. They took our foster dog Begonia back so that she can get adopted and they came back with another round of foster dogs. But because of their age, these foster dogs go back in a week to get adopted out, they just aren't old enough yet.
That evening we all got to watch Chloe's last ballgame of the season. It was a lot of fun and she is already looking forward to next year!
Wednesday, June 20th - Tyler and I had an appointment at 10:30am in Harrisonville. We under estimated the time that it would take to get everyone ready and in the car - and ended up being a little late to the appointment. However, they weren't busy an were still able to see us right away and get us back out the door.
We went to the bank to deposit my check and to Walmart - had to fix some things that we were over charged for, pick up some baby formula for Tyler, and some thicker material for Jacob and Jaxen's bedroom curtains. . . we are tired of them getting up before 7am because the sun comes up!
On the way home, we stopped by the Distribution Center to verify Jerry is getting his pay for this pay period and to show off Mr. Tyler. We got to see a few of Jerry's managers and the General Manager over the DC. However, it was a quick visit because we needed to get home to feed the kids.
We got home with enough time to eat lunch and get naps in, then we were off to the ball fields for Chloe's Coach's Pitch Pictures. Which I got to preview and they look awesome! :-)
Thursday, June 21st - Today we have done nothing! It's been great. . . just bummed around the house. Played outside. Watched movies. Relaxed. = )
Friday, June 22nd - Tomorrow is cleaning day. Our lovely neighbor has insisted in making us and bring us dinner tomorrow evening. So what better excuse than that to have everyone help clean house! There is plenty of vacuuming and laundry to do!!
No big plans for Saturday or Sunday - just bumming around the house getting things done. It's suppose to be a hot weekend for us, so staying in the AC sounds good to me!!
