So the plan for the day was for me to take Jacob into work, to work a little late, then run a couple of errands, then Jacob’s Dr. appt at 4:30, then home, take the girls to YW, and home for the evening. Yea right.
I got to work at 11. That’s right , 11. It took me forever. I didn’t even have a diaper bag packed for him. I hadn’t even thought of what to put in one. And I wasn’t showered or anything. Overnight I’d washed my clothes, but I was really tired and not thinking too straight. Since I was going to be gone so long, I wanted enough oxygen and enough blankets and enough…and I didn’t know how much was enough. Besides, I wanted to get the tape off his face and get the dots on. Even with adhesive remover, it took a while to get his face cleaned up and get a sponge bath and get the dots on and the tubing back on.
Good news was he wasn’t needing the oxygen all night or all morning. But in the afternoon at the office he needed some.
Errands took forever, and I didn’t get a couple of them done. The doctor’s appointment went well. Dr. O’dell said to shut the oxygen off unless he needs it. I had to stop and feed Jacob before we could load up to go home. Afterwards I took Dave Morrill the checks I was supposed to get done before the doc appt. I got to show Jacob off to him and his wife. They wrote one of our letters of recommendation. Then since I couldn’t be home before the girls left for YW, I decided to take Jacob to see the Whites. Mom White was SO excited. And she held him for two hours before I could get out of there. Then a quick stop at Walmart for a baby monitor and a few other things. But by then Jacob was hungry again. I pulled into the Kohl’s parking lot and stopped and fed him again. Then went home.
Nat had geometry homework. I sent her to get help from Grandpa. I was too tired.
But determined to get to work on time the next morning.
