Springbreak

LA and I didn't think everything out very well about having her mother come and stay with her during the day after Wyatt was born. We thought we had it figured out but we realized Palm Sunday (Spring Break started on the next day) that we had made a colossal error. After Aubrey was born Nana came and stayed the first week with us during the day and helped out LA around the house and with Aubrey. I was there for part of that time and we had decided that if we were blessed with number 2 we would do it different. So weeks before Wyatt showed up, Nana planned to take the second week off (which turned out to be the third week because he was a week early) that way I would be back at work full time and LA would need the help. LA and Nana had a good week and it worked out because it was the Flowertown Festival weekend and they both were there to set up early on Thursday. So like I said earlier on Sunday while recovering from the Festival, we realized that Aubrey didn't have day care the next day or all week because of Spring Break and it hit LA that she was going to be at home with both kids all week. Now, I realize we got ourselves in this boat but I will go on recorded and say that everyone who said your not a parent until you have two or more kids was right. Let's be honest two on one isn't fair but two on two is another ballgame and anything more than two requires a zone and lots of fences (indoors and outdoors) or doors that can be locked to contain the masses. And if you have been around Aubrey she can be a handful for both of us most days without adding Wyatt into the mix (Anyone that wants to experience what I am talking about or doesn't believe us let me know when you want to keep her. She is good but see the earlier post about busy, curious..etc) If we would have thought this plan out a little further, we would have had Nana take Spring Break off to help with both kids...talk about poor planning.

So Monday morning arrives and we have decided to take Wyatt to the doctor because he has been congested for 10+ days and want to make sure it's not in his lungs. Shortly after LA telling me when the appointment is, I get a text message from her telling me "I need you to come home quickly, I have hurt my neck" which was followed up with another text minutes later "Come quickly, I am in bad shape". To make a long story short ---fast forward--- We ended up taking Wyatt to the doctor and LA looking at the doctor with crooked head and then taking LA to the doctor and found out she had pulled a muscle in her neck and she would be on muscle relaxers and anti inflammatory medicine. the rest of the week. She was going to be out of commission for a few days.

--rewind--My first thoughts after getting the page were how convenient, 1st day of Spring Break and she's at home saying "My neck, my neck" and "call in the reinforcements". I know Aubrey is a handful but she hadn't even made it 2 hours with her being awake before she had enough...It seemed kind of fishy until I actually saw her and she could hardly look at me and if I moved she had to turn her whole body to follow me. If her neck wasn't really hurt, then she missed her calling because she should have been an actress.

LA survived Spring Break and her neck is doing better. Better planning on our part next time (if there is a next time).
