This week in review

What a crazy week! First our dryer broke. We currently have 5 adults and 4 children living in this house. And the twins go through 100 outfits a day it seems like! So the dryer breaking was a minor disaster. Robbie diagnosed the problem and ordered the parts.

Tuesday morning Gage had a follow up appointment from last week when he had that virus and his white blood cells had been really low. Retested a week later and back to normal. 

On Tuesday night, I was breastfeeding the twins at the same time and Kason had an episode where he kinda drowned in my breast milk. He couldn't breathe for like 15 seconds and it scared us both to death. Stupid forceful letdown and oversupply. Anyway, on Wednesday he couldn't breathe through his nose. It got worse and worse until as I was pulling out of the driveway for Jaden's OT with both of the big boys, Grandma flagged me down and said Kason wasn't breathing right and she didn't feel comfortable for me to leave. I called the doctor and they told me to bring him in. I ended up having to take everyone except Kyler because the big boys were already in the car and it would've been drama to get them out. I thought the breastfeeding episode had caused this and the nurse practitioner did an exam and said he was fine.

Thursday I went to my aunt Terri's to do laundry since the dryer was still broken. I brought all 4 boys and her grandson (who is 3) was there. It was a crazy day because the big boys were really wild all day and there was really no where to put the twins except on the floor which was dangerous with the kids running around. That day Kason's nose was really stopped up. He wasn't eating well or sleeping well. Then Kyler started acting stuffy.

Friday- the parts for the dryer came in and Robbie worked forever and was finally able to fix it- HOORAY! So proud of him! Kason's nose was not any better at all and I was afraid to go into the weekend with him like that. Back to the doctor we went. They examined him again and said there's nothing they can do about it, it's a cold virus (probably the same that Jaden and Gage had last week) and just keep doing what I'm doing.

Saturday was the best day of all. On Saturday afternoons, my mom always takes Jaden and Gage out to eat and to the grocery store and back to her house for the evening. I pumped some milk and Kyler went next door with my mother in law and Kason stayed home with Nanny. Robbie and I went out! He got a haircut and I got my first pedicure ever. It was the most amazing experience! I can't wait to go back! We walked to Kohls and Famous Footwear because I was looking for a new pair of flip flops. I didn't get any because I couldn't find any under $20. I'm not paying $35 for a pair of flip flops! Then we went to dinner at Chilis. 

Today we just had church which is always fun. The van was acting like it wasn't going to start after church so hopefully Robbie can look at that and it's something simple. Kasons nose is finally getting better today. Kyler is struggling a lot with gas and fussiness. Mylicon only helps a little. I think the oversupply is contributing to that some. 

So its been a long crazy week, and I haven't even gone back to work yet! I also haven't started school and the school year hasn't started for the boys! Yikes! I'm hoping we will be able to settle into a routine fairly quickly.

Thanks everyone for reading! I will update again soon, for the twins are about to be 6 weeks old!
