Shea is lucky enough to be able to work from home, so 4 adults and 2 kids are here together. I&#8217;m so grateful my parents have taken us in. Though I miss the city and my life there&#8230;the life I had is pretty much gone. Walking to stores and restaurants with two babies during a pandemic is no longer an adventure, it is just stressful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marguerite made it out of the NICU in 2 weeks post-birth, thank God, and while I was a little concerned about her (she was 5 weeks early), she has gained weight like a champ and nurses&#8230;a lot. I&#8217;m exhausted but happy with her reaching her 3 month birthday so healthy. She is smiling a lot and starting to make noises in response to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marzieh at 16 months loves her little sister and gives her kisses and hugs at every opportunity. She doesn&#8217;t know her own strength so I have to watch them constantly. She says &#8220;shh shh&#8221; and brings burp cloths and pacifiers to baby sister. This week she started calling her &#8220;Mar&#8221;, instead of &#8220;shh shh&#8221;, so that is an improvement. She will put her hands up in a questioning pose if she can&#8217;t find something or someone, or if she hides a toy under a cloth as a game. She also plays hide and seek with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/sholeh.calmstorm.net\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SholehMunion_2020-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3662\" srcset=\"http:\/\/sholeh.calmstorm.net\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SholehMunion_2020-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/sholeh.calmstorm.net\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SholehMunion_2020-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/sholeh.calmstorm.net\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SholehMunion_2020-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/sholeh.calmstorm.net\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SholehMunion_2020-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/sholeh.calmstorm.net\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SholehMunion_2020-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>This sums up their personalities so far.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We bought a house last week (4 blocks from my parents, out in the suburbs of Chicago), and over the course of 4 days Shea did demo work on the first floor so we can have our contractor come in and build everything up from scratch. I am the project manager of this remodel, and it&#8217;s nice to be doing something that engages my brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only reason I could sit down to write this post is that both of my children have been sleeping for 2 hours (by some miracle). I find it challenging to type on the phone in a way that is satisfying for writing my thoughts. Talk to text just ends up frustrating me. Most of the times that I&#8217;m sitting, I&#8217;m nursing, so it doesn&#8217;t lend itself well to writing blog posts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So we&#8217;re 6 months (182 days) into this pandemic, and have been staying at my parent&#8217;s place this whole time.
