Wednesday I was alone almost all day with the 2 kids. It went very smoothly! I even got (get this!) 8 loads of laundry done and folded!! I know, I know... 8 loads? I hadn't done any since we had been in the hospital! I also got us packed to go up north and the house picked up. Success!
Thursday we headed up north to Ryan's parents for an extended weekend (Ryan joined us Friday). Aidan slept then entire 3 hour trip, besides lunch at McD's for his big sister. Olivia can't reach him in his carseat so it's smooth sailing traveling so far!!
Friday morning Olivia decided to grace me with her wide awake presence at 4:30 am. Thank you sweetie, I was so happy to see you! :) Thankfully we were with family so I had a ton of help and was able to rest too!
Olivia played endlessly with her cousins all weekend. Unfortunately her cousin, Maren, ended up with strep throat...hopefully Livi doesn't get it...all she has so far is a cold. As far as I know, babies can't get strep so we should be good to go with Aidan.
Aidan slept 5 hours last night! Yes! He's been typically going a good 4 hour stretch, but 5 hours last night was pure bliss (even though I was up with Livi earlier due to her cold).
We're back home this afternoon and enjoying being back in our routine. We haven't had any days that were totally JUST US (not that today counts b/c we were traveling) and I am excited to get in our routine!!

So good to see you and meet Aidan!
I'm behind in the blogging world... beautiful baby Aidan, and Olivia looks like such a grown up little girl! Congrats!
Glad things are going well!!
Sounds like you're adjusting to two pretty well! I always think travelling with two youngsters can be more exhausting (even when you have the help!) then just being in your own routine!
I can't wait to come and meet your new little bundle, let's figure out a time we can come up!
