Carl started what is probably the worst rotation in Pathology. Granted, it pales in comparison to other specialties, but it's still pretty rough. This also came at a time when Carl somehow re-injured his back in a major way, and I have been sick with a cold combined with all-day nausea (and of course throwing up) and complete exhaustion from the pregnancy. The perfect storm. But we have been managing. Big thanks to both Ingrid & Ryan and my mom & dad who have taken the kids on various days which has been immensely helpful. And, Lily has a girls' weekend with Aunt Angela starting tomorrow. Lily started packing for this weekend on Wednesday and has talked about it every day since she found out about it. Needless to say, she's a little excited.
While Lily attended the birthday party, I got to hang out with William at the Magic House. He loves exploring and figuring out how things work. I very much have visions of him taking apart our phones and such in the future - inquiring minds want to know!
This recipe clearly called for a double-boiler.
Oh captain, my captain
At 17 months, William still is not being close to being able to give up the two naps per day. Any time I try to skip the morning nap (which is very, very rarely), this happens. He is not one for falling asleep in the car (unlike his sister who still falls asleep every time we take a drive in the afternoon), but he drifts off quickly when he sits still for a moment at home. Even though I appreciate the quiet time these naps allow (like right now), it makes it very difficult to ever get together with friends. His awake time is from about 7:30-10:00 am, 12-3 pm, and 5-7:00 pm. The first and last times are not convenient for going out, and most people we know have children who take naps from 1-3. Since his need for sleep is far more important than my need to get together with others, we will just have to remain isolated a little bit longer.
Looking so big in the play structure
