3 weeks later ...
Auntie Kelsey urged me that an update was due ... so here it goes (rather briefly!)
On the way to pick up my mom from the airport the Thursday before Christmas, I made a few phone calls and FINALLY heard that I received permission to take ALL THREE children home with me for Christmas. That evening, we discovered that Nina had gunky eyes, so our trip was delayed a few hours so that I could take her to the doctor. I took her Friday morning, to find that she had one or two blocked tear duct(s) which isn't a serious problem and she'll grow out if it (and may have already done so.)
We had a wonderful trip home, a wonderful Christmas, and a wonderful time "relaxing" with my family. One of the best parts was Nina's crib in my parents' room, so I didn't do any middle-of-the-night feedings for a while. (Actually, I was sick when we came back, so Katie had her for the first couple of nights back, too.)
Last week, Nina ended up in the E.R. Turns out it was an ear infection, but she's also quite congested. Christian woke up from a nap in nursery this morning and seems to have something that LOOKS like pink eye. There are three scheduled doctor's appointments already this week, and there may be one tomorrow. Plus, we have speech, special instruction, caseworker visit, and I have a huge observation at school on Wednesday. I sort of dread starting weeks like this.
I started a new grad school class on School Law and it's quite difficult. Most of the time, the difficulty lies more in the fact that my computer is terribly infected with a virus than the course material being difficult. I'm hoping Katie's brother can help us out this week, so I can get back to normal grad school schedule.
For now, I'm going to fold laundry until the basement is clear and start the week off with it all done (yea!) How exciting is my life. It looks like I'll have all three children at least through July. Nothing's ever definite, but that was encouraging! Thanks for reading. :)
