Home Sweet Home

I was wrong when I said in my last post that life doesn't get better than that. It does. And it definitely got better today!

Zoe is home. Home. Sweet. Home.

Her discharge from the hospital was unremarkable, aside from the fact that her team ordered a few final tests in the Nth hour, which prolonged her discharge until almost 3pm. Considering I had been up since 3am, I was more than a "little" ready! Apparently Zoe was ready as well, because her eyes were as big as saucers and she was so curious about the whole process!




Vanessa came over with Oliver and watched Silas for us while we picked up Zoe, so she snapped a few pics of us settling in.



Serena seemed unphased by the addition of baby #2.


Derek and Zoe got some father-daughter time.


And before I knew it, he was holding down the entire fort!


We decided it was bath night so that was quite the whirlwind of activity giving baths x2! Whew. It will be awhile before either of us can do that alone! After baths and feeding, Silas and Zoe promptly fell asleep, again looking as cute as can be.



We surely have a few exciting days ahead of us!

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe

Sickness Update

We saw the pediatrician again this morning - it was our 4th visit in as many weeks. Both kids have an antibiotic-resistant sinus infection. Zoe also still has an ear infection after 5 days of meds; thankfully Silas' double ear infection is finally gone after the 10-day round of amoxicillin. While in the waiting room, we noticed that a rash had appeared on Silas' arms and trunk. Since this coincided with being on meds, Dr. Rundquist had to assume it might have been related to the amoxicillin. Silas was going to get a non-amox antibiotic for the continued sinus infection, and because it's easier to have them on the same meds they were both prescribed Suprax. Silas' O2 saturation was also down a little and he was wheezing during the exam. Apparently he also has broncholitis and he'll be treated with albuterol. He was given a nebulizer treatment in the doctor's office that he tolerated amazingly well at the end of a very long doctor's visit (we were there for 2
