Infant Check-in (8/23)

[wittylittle]

Hiiiii! I'm checking in for the first time since the latest migration Sorry I lost track of everyone. Things haven't been very easy with Z but luckily they've calmed down a LOT now.

Age: 11 1/2 months!

Milestones: Walks when holding on with one hand. Can climb the bloody stairs, though...

Challenges: Multiple allergies, malabsorption, complications from reflux, highly temperamental, whatever the baby version of insomnia is... This kid seriously hardly sleeps.

Funny/cute stories: She's started winking now. We taught her how to wink last weekend, but now she'll randomly wink at strangers. Such a flirt!

How are you? Better, thanks. It was really rough while we were struggling with her diagnosis. She was hospitalised for a while due to failure to thrive and just generally being miserable all day every day... but now that we have her on the right nutrition plan and medicines.

Anything else? Just happy to find you guys again! I hope there's still some activity on this board

QOTW: On the daily, is your hair up or down? If I don't have a headache it's definitely up. Both kids end up pulling what's left of my hair, out.

Hi! This is my first time doing this check-in or posting on PAL.

I have boy/girl twins born at 27+3, Benji and Evie.


Age: 13 weeks/3 days corrected

Milestones: both were discharged from the NICU last week.

Challenges: both are on a three hour schedule and I'm pretty much doing every single care time. H tried to let me take a nap last night and then realized that he did not know how to mix the bottle for B (both are on breast milk with calories added) so, instead of getting to sleep through a care time and getting a solid three to four hours sleep, he woke me an hour and a half after I laid down.

Funny/cute stories: I put B and E in one crib together. B totally ignored E but she just laid there staring at him. She kept reaching out to touch him and every time she touched his hand he would jerk it away.

How are you? Exhausted

Anything else? Really exhausted

QOTW: On the daily, is your hair up or down? Down but I think baseball hats are in the near future.
