Here’s the randomness of my world today:
- I just finished a note to some people from my church that I’ve never met, but they had twins last week. And both of them were over SEVEN pounds! Yikes!!!
- Alex sort of gave up sleeping this weekend. Between our running around and his own issues, he hardly napped…which meant he did a lot more waking up at night than normal.
- So that makes for a tired Mommy today.
- So that means naps are the highest priority today!
- Except of course that my MIL called last night to see if it’d be okay if she, her sister and her mom stopped by for a bit this afternoon while they were out shopping. Um…I guess so. But I’m still putting the babies down for naps even if they’re here!
- And Eric’s grandmother has shingles right now. Please pray that the babies don’t get chickenpox. It should be fine as long as they don’t come in contact with the shingles rash. But I think I’m going to ask that she not hold them today, which will be hard for her. But understandable, I hope…
- I got a ton of housekeeping done on Saturday morning. I have no idea where the energy/motivation came from.
- We bought a used double stroller on Friday evening for $100. We took a walk with it yesterday afternoon, and it’s fantastic! Yay!
- We went out to eat twice this weekend (Friday night – Chinese, Saturday night – BBQ) and then to a small group picnic last night. I hardly had to cook all weekend. Nice!
- I woke up last night, in the middle of the night, suddenly very ill. I literally woke up from a dream realizing that I might be sick. Thankfully, I wasn’t (at least not that way), but I did spend 15 minutes or so in the bathroom taking care of “other” business. And this morning I was fine. Weird…
- This week is already shaping up to be super-busy. Good thing I don’t have much cleaning or laundry to do (since I got it all done on the weekend)!
Okay, I think that’s all my randomness for now…I may have pictures to share later…if I get them taken! Happy Monday!
Girl, you have a lot going on! Hope the naps, visit, and your health all go well today.
@BoureeMusique – Definitely NOT pregnant!
@FlyingCAB – Shingles isn’t really dangerous for infants (thankfully). It’s just caused by the chickenpox virus, so the babies could get chickenpox from contact with the rash. I’d just rather not have to deal with 5 month old babies with chickenpox!
@Airdee26 – How sad for you to be quarantined like that! For some reason, they treat shingles like the plague, even though it’s not transmitted by air like chickenpox is. You have to actually touch the open sores to get the virus, and thankfully, Grandma has been on meds for a week now. So it’s unlikely she’s still contagious. However, not having her hold them is probably just the wisest choice!
Praying you feel better soon!!
Grandma should understand not holding the wee ones for a little while. It’s better for their health
. I’m sorry you got sick!! (Are you pregnant?) 
Ya folks with shingles should not be holding babies. I don’t even know that I would want her coming over. I had shingles in high school and they made me stay away from anyone and everyone for a whole week…till I was not contagious anymore.
Yipes! About shingles and being sick in the night. NO FUN on either count. I do hope they understand about your sensitivity to the shingles… it’s dangerous for babies that small, isn’t it!?
