Had fun hanging with kellykinns and her boys. So sad for them to go 😔 but we're going to visit them! She said I could share this, look how handsome her boys are! This is the least blurry picture lol.  |

I'm feeling weird. I'm home for the night and L only wanted MH for everything and bedtime. C snuggled with me and showed me every toy as if I've never been here before, then said he only wanted MH for bed. I feel like they've just kinda moved on without me here. So tonight I feel like I'm almost a guest here, yet feeling guilty for not being with A even though I still can't feed him or do most of his care. I feel like I was kinda cruising through on adrenaline and now I'm just at a weird standstill where I can't fully be anywhere and just feel like crap.

wineallthetime that sounds so hard but normal for this stage. It's good they are adjusting to your H doing more care but not feeling wanted is so tough. You're doing your best for everyone. Be easy on yourself (easier said than done, I know).

wineallthetime I'm sorry you are struggling. You are in a very unexpected, difficult situation. There is no right or wrong way to split up your time... you are doing the best you can. I'm sure it's hard. No doubt it is hard. And you're doing a great job! Before you know it you'll all be home together and life will go on as normal.  I wonder if there is a premie board or group you could join for support from people are in or have been in your situation?

wineallthetime big hugs. It's tough. I'm sure once A comes home everything will go back to normal. L and C love you and they know that you love them. It's hard but it will go back to normal soon.

All the hugs, wineallthetime. Just remember that this is a stage, it's all temporary. You'll all be home together eventually and L and C won't even remember you being gone. And I can't even imagine the situation with A, needing to rely on the NICU staff for so much. But you're his Mom and you'll feel the full brunt of newborn life before you know it. Sending wine and love. |

Thanks. S never did it. Suddenly the past few days Ben can’t stop, so I was curious about it Do things like marching and squatting with flat feet to pick up toys. You might be able to prevent it from continuing. Thank you for the tips. I’ll start doing this with him tomorrow |

Just got back from Pinballz. Cadence loves my brother. We got a bunch of tickets and Cadence got a Shopkins candy bar plush for her prize.
Mh was disappointed my brother wanted to go back to his hotel instead of coming back to the house, but he was tired. He'll come by tomorrow before he heads back to Houston.

I need a new show to watch. Preferably with more than one season. Have you seen The Americans? The sixth and final season is about to start. We've been binging trying to finish so we can watch in 'real time'. It is excellent. |

All your posts have me really wanting to catch up. |

I’m sorry wineallthetime. Your kids still love you and need you, right now they are asking your H to do more but maybe it’s because they know you’re still healing. Just give them all your love and snuggles for now. |

Thanks for all the love for J today, she slept in this morning and had a good nap. Her breathing has been better so hopefully she has a good sleep tonight and wakes up even better.

cagoldi he is so cute! nam2013 I feel like the layers are pretty distinct but maybe they will blend a bit after a wash and brush? I didn’t ask for layers, I asked her to keep the long hair look and to cut off about an inch... she cut of 3inch with the top layer. She was really unfriendly to ds. I’m going to make a complaint on Monday. ETA a wash and a brush didn’t really help. |

Everyone went to bed super late but the kids couldn’t get enough of each other. It was too cute! I’ve never heard H giggle that much.
I had to con M into sleeping with the girls. I really didn’t want her in my bed. Hopefully she stays put.

wineallthetime that sounds really really hard and that would make me feel awful too. You’re an amazing mom and you’re doing everything you can to navigate through this difficult, challenging time. hopefully not to long from now you’ll all be together again an things will return to normal as a family of five. I wish I could give you a real hug.
