Hermit life

We/I have attempted to be hermits with sweet Ara. I have left the house now for 4 doctors appointments, and 2 other outings. I didn't drive for 10 days... That's pretty hermit like!

Ara has had a weird infection on multiple hangnails. She had it drained once and checked on 2 other times.. In the sche of things this is technically minor but a random skin infection in a newborn had us concerned! We were using a topical antibiotic but after a few days her pediatrician recommended oral antibiotics:(. Better safe than sorry... And it looks better after 3 doses, so that's good!

We have had 1-2 visitors daily except yesterday. We hit the exhausted wall just in time to look like zombies for Halloween! We needed to alternate naps and we did, so that felt great.

I took Owen and Ara to Owens speech therapy yesterday. My first outing solo with 2 kids:). It's a mile away but I still had a sense of accomplishment! It's like starting all over again, establishing a new normal. 

Owen has been 1:1 with Chris most of the time, and has informed me that "daddy is a better player than you mom." Although that made me cry (darn hormones!) the boys are having fun. More  tantrums and a little snarkiness coming out of O but he's doing pretty well.

Ara continues to eat and grow. She's back up to her hefty birthweight-still can't believe she was so huge- and Breastfeeding like a pro. So fun to have this opportunity versus all the other challenges we went through with Owen.

Looking forward to our first fun family outing to Main Street tomorrow for some trick or treating.
