Thanks to the Grandparents

An unexpected flu bug arrived to the Nelson household, which derailed Chad and I a bit. My mom fell ill first, and then Chad and I got hit with it (although different symptoms) about 24 hrs later. I'm still in recovery, with a bad cough, headache, and lack of energy (could be sleep deprivation too). We literally survived the last 10 days because of Chad parents and my mom being with us. We had laundry done, kids cared for, dinners cooked, you name it.
All parents are now gone - reality is setting in. The evening started with Kyle throwing his plastic play cell phone into the swing and hitting Sean in the head. That's just 1 example of how difficult juggling 2 is. Kyle and Sean can't be in a room alone together - Kyle is so excited about him, I think he'd drag him across the room by 1 arm if he could.
We visited Dr. Safir our pediatrician today (both kids had an appt). Kyle, with a quivering lip, was very brave and did his best not to cry - except when he got his shot. Sean was a trooper too. Only disappointment was finding out Sean only gained 3 ounces and isn't back at his birth weight yet, so we're back to Dr's next week. In the meantime I need to get him up more at night and feed him every couple hours. I was enjoying his tendency to sleep 5-6 hrs at night and letting him do so (guess that wasn't such a good idea).
Kyle cracks me up when he says to me "no baby don't cry" and calls my breast pump machine a "boo boo cup." He likes to try and jam the binky into Sean's mouth, but also tries to constantly take it out and suck on it himself.
I'm finding that getting out of the house with 2 kids (especially when not feeling well) is an undertaking - between getting us all ready, feeding, naps, etc.
It's all worth it though, just a lot of work - as everyone warned it would be. Chad and I couldn't be happier with our two boys, and bazillions of diaper changes (ok we could do without those).
