A Castellano Road Trip

Today marked the first official "Castellano Family Road Trip." Honestly, I wish I could report that the destination was some posh, swank Kansas City stop... but that was far from the case!

Alas, we packed up the Castellano Roadster for a jaunt to the pediatrician. And the term "packed" encompasses it perfectly. It's funny because it doesn't sound like much... but two car seats and a full diaper bag actually take up a lot of room in our little Hyundai, not to mention numerous trips to and from the car for packing prior to departure.

The good news on our trip is that Gwen aced her visit with flying colors. In fact, those early morning feedings these initial days home must have done her body well. She gained two ounces in her first two days since being discharged from CMH.

Braelyn reminded rather indifferent to the whole experience as she slept through the majority of the trip. Of course, that might have something to do with the fact that "The Peanut" started off her day with the first "real bath" of her brief young life. After that, she apparently was just spent, hence the extra nap time!




Poor Gwen's cord "stump" is still hanging on. The combination of that and the six week additional heal time on her surgical wounds means she's still on a moratorium from such endeavors herself. Instead, she's still on a steady diet of sponge baths.

After the doctor's appointment, Dad spent the majority of the day back in the office toiling away. So, today also marked the first time that Mom spent the majority of the day home with the girls without my intervention.

The good news, is that Heather was still talking to me when I came home from work so she must have made it though just fine without dear old dad!

=P

Well, so much for another busy day with the Castellanos. At least the weekend is just around the corner!
