FAQs for Delhi Bound IPs
I've been promising to add it for the past 3 months "just as soon I finish unpacking from India," but alas, it's beginning to look like that might never occur... so I went ahead and posted it anyways. I'll continue to update it as I continue to find random dirt concealed business cards emblazoned with Hindi-like characters in the
strangest of places-- like Carlos' toy basket. Perhaps somebody's planning an emergency escape plan should His house get any more crowded.
Lucky for Carlos, however, any plans for an MC homecoming this week have been cancelled, as he unfortunately seems to be making himself at Home... in the PICU.
Even more unfortunate is that for the first time in America, he's made his siPAP (close cousin of the C-PAP) debut-- none of which was caused by my Friday night snafu when I accidentally unplugged his oxygen with the intention of unplugging my laptop. (Yes, it's probably good that Mommy and Daddy have been given some additional time to master their Home Nursing skills.)
Anyways, with the PICU comes a 2 Visitor at a Time/No Princesses Rule, and since my parents were up for visiting on Sunday morning, we took the opportunity to take Princess to the pumpkin patch.
After agonizing for an hour over whether she would wear the super fun giant pumpkin costume that we inherited from my niece, we ultimately decided on "just a fall outfit," as Duane was concerned that the former screamed Pumpkin Patch Newbies.
Not to worry, as I'm sure that even without the outfit it was readily apparent when I proceeded to snap 500+ photos of our little pumpkin "enthusiastically" posing in the bins.

| Seriously, mom? |

| I'll just look distracted and pretend I'm not with them. |
 |
| Maybe if I give 'em a smile we can put an end to this nonsense. |
 |
| I swear I just met this lady. |
 |
| Shows over people. It's time for a bottle. |
With love from a Baltimore PICU,
Mommy, Princess and Master Cheeks
one word for the princess- aaahhhh! Sending prayers for MC! That is one tough little kid!
ReplyDeleteBless princess such a cutie! Strength and warm hugs to MC x
ReplyDeleteWhat great pics she looks so happy to be with you guys. MC is a strong boy I believe he will over come this
ReplyDeleteBeen thinking about you guys! MC looking good, and Princess looks like she's somewhat concerned that these pumpkins are not turning into Stagecoaches.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the pumpkin and stage coach comment LOL that girl just has the look of a princess! Hope MC is getting a bit stronger and you are a step closer to that christmas card family portrait! PS are you on instagram? I love your pics...would love to follow if you are

ReplyDeletekathy,david,ellie and amy
Ms Princess looks annoyed that she is excluded from seeing MC and pumpkins are not adequate substitutions. Hope they can be back together soon and Very glad you 3 got a change of pace outing. Hugs at a tough time!
ReplyDeleteI love how you balance the kids. It's hard enough to have twins and here you have your sweet boy in the hospital and still manage to get your girly to the pumpkin patch. I'm so impressed not just by your strength but by your attitude. It's inspiring.
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry to read that MC is back on sipap. Come on, little guy, breathing on your own is cool! You can do it!
ReplyDeleteHopefully Princess can cuddle with MC soon, though, and he can move back to peds. As always, so many thoughts and prayers to you and yours.
Those pumpkin patch pictures are adorable. And your captions are priceless.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOODNESS!! Those pictures,.... THOSE PICTURES!! They are sooo cute!!
