Just fed him and took a shower. He looked so pathetic in the incubator. The pedi said he would be in there for at least a day, maybe more. Such a bummer.
Shower was ok. Too much painful parts and sticky residue from bandages to really enjoy it. But I am in my own comfy clothes and I just called for more pain meds. So that's a win.

Cher, sorry he's in the NICU and that your shower wasn't as amazing as you'd hoped. But yey to your own clothes! That always helps a bit!!

Job updates: It turns out I was asked for an in person interview by another company that I interviewed with. So now I am interviewing at three places. I have one tomorrow, Friday, then Tuesday. Both Friday and Tuesday are final interviews, although I don't necessarily want the Friday job. This new one that came up is tomorrow and I'm not sure what their process is apart from tomorrow's interview. But this is a company that I said 6 months ago that I wanted to work for. So we'll see. Hopefully I'll end up with a job soon!

Cher I've never had a C/S but I can just imagine the pain. Enjoy your pain meds and rest. You deserve it. F/X C2 is out of the incubator soon.

At drop off this morning a car pulled into the parking lot slowly and then turned around. It was an older man who I thought was maybe just lost but seemed a little shady. When I left, his was sitting in his parked car by the mailbox on the street. It's a very quiet road so it seemed really odd. I noticed he had Oregon license plates and there have been several instances in our town this summer of vehicles with Oregon license plates going door to door "selling" things but then acting really strange and driving away. So I called daycare to let them know and to keep and eye on it. I hope I'm overreacting my my mom instincts made me want to call the cops.

Cher I hope that C2 starts showing improvement and breaks out of the NICU soon! Is the NICU close to where you are? When I had S she was in the Childrens hospital NICU, which was another building. It was quite the trek to go there each day. Took about 10 minutes and quite the maze of elevators and walk bridges. I went back to my room for pain meds and food a couple times a day. My poor H got a workout pushing me in the wheelchair the first few days. yummeecookee glad you got that over with. Sounds like they will miss you! Happy birthday wineallthetime and dapostrophe. jewels lol at grilled children! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He could be waiting for women to take their kids inside and break into the car for their purse. That happened at our daycare.

Sorry C2 will be in the NICU a bit longer, Cher. I hope you're at least able to rest up. Going home after Chase was born was so exhausting! I mean it was amazing because I was excited to get life as a family of 4 started, but oh man... Try to take advantage and get some extra rest, if that's possible!!

He could be waiting for women to take their kids inside and break into the car for their purse. That happened at our daycare. I didn't catch the license #, but I did leave my car running with purse inside (oops). Our daycare would be such an easy target because that seems to be what everyone does. I should probably be more careful.

Hi! Life's been hectic but productive so that's something. My cousin is coming this weekend so we can discuss our renovation plans and get started with blueprints and such, it's nice to finally feel like we're starting something.
N has to have a tooth extracted on Friday, im super nervous as it's one of the ones he had the stainless steel cap put on. Hopefully this doesn't traumatized him for life... this kid remembers everything.

Oh yay, new runner likes essential oils, my office smells like an old lady right now. Not pleased. (this is not to say all essential oils smell like old lady, just this particular one the runner felt it would be ok to rub on herself and stink up the room with)

It's Houston restaurant month and I just spent entirely way too much time browsing all the different movies to narrow down where we'll eat this month.

Happy birthday, dapostrophe! We ran out to Michael's to buy the stuff to make slime. Right now we're snacking on pretzels and watching Blaze (I am not a fan)
