13 days old

This post will be quick because I am barely awake enough to see the keyboard.

There has been no change with Charlotte's condition and her labs still aren't back yet so there is no update on what her infection is. Hopefully tomorrow.... She gets a PICC line in this evening since she'll rely on IV fluids and vitamins for at least the next 7 days and traditional hand IVs aren't tough enough to withstand that timeframe.

I donned a robe and gloves and held Charlotte for about an hour and she was a little restless but still content to cuddle with me. I held Lilah skin to skin for over an hour and she was alert and wide-eyed in her adorable way for half the time and sound asleep for the rest. These girls are so super cute.

Today I drove myself to the hospital so Sean could have a well-deserved low-key afternoon. It was the first time I've driven a car in over 2 months! It felt good to be behind the wheel, although my errands didn't pan out well. I went to the bank to deposit some checks and when I saw that there was an 8 person wait and only one very slow teller, I got the bright idea to go through the drive-through. I put the checks and form in the cannister and watched it get vacuumed up the tube - only it didn't come out on the other side. After the teller tried over and over to retrieve it, she ended up telling me that it was stuck until they could get someone out on Monday. Then I went to Babies R Us looking for something in particular and they were all out. 520 was closed for the weekend, so I took I-5 and got off at 45th, which was down to one lane due to construction. *sigh* At least I made it in the end and got some girl time in!
