My sales have dropped since ebay removed the bots

In the past majority of my traffic was generated with eBay. After IS it switched to external.

That was the promise wasn't it? that IS would be seen by Google and other search engines?

Which would mean a surge in the number of Bot Views.

Bots are robots. They have been set to Search the web for certain words and eBay's Item Specifics (IS) were meant to give them something to find, since independent sellers, like any herd of cats, are bound and determined to do it our way not their way.

closed me store down for a month (April 8th to May 5th-ish) since we had a newborn.

Yes.

When you have a slowdown in sales, or take a vacation, or as in your case welcome a baby (and congratulations Best wishes for a long and healthy life.)

It's related to having a sale to Colorado and suddenly getting two or three sales there which never happened before.
