Exciting day around here
After being driven to Cardinal Cadette’s first appointment at the pediatrician yesterday (Sadly, we learned it was the last day there for the pediatrician we have seen the most. Glad we got to see her one last time. She’s being replaced by another woman, starting today, so I guess we may meet her next time.), as of today, I’m officially able to drive again. So Cardinal Cadette and I loaded into the car and went to the drive-thru ATM and the McDonald’s drive-thru for a chocolate shake (for me, not her), then to Walmart for a couple of miscellaneous items. (We love the stroller frame for the infant car seat. Great find, Aunty N.!) It all felt very exciting to me. The Cadette slept through all of it.
So I consider that my “dry run.” Cardinal Cadette has a pre-op appointment with the ophthalmologist first thing in the morning, and then we have to swing by Scottish Rite for an anesthesiology consult. I didn’t want that to be my first time driving in two months, while also sleep deprived.
And, yes, that means I’m settling into a largely sleepless (okay, spurts here and there) routine with the Cadette. And that’s with nearly full-time help this week. We’ll see how I do next week with only part-time help. And then after that I should be on my own with both kiddos. Yikes!
