What a week. I had a whole post drafted and ready to go and I logged on a few days ago to find my phone didn't save it, so I decided to use my computer to blog instead of the app on my phone... but who has time for that?!?
Lilah had a follow up appointment with her surgeon last Monday. He had me take out the old button and put in the new one. It was the first time I had to do it and it was sort of cool and really creepy all at the same time. So much so, I didn't notice that the new button is GLOW IN THE DARK!!!! A really cool concept except we have to keep the button covered so she doesn't pull it out so the glow part doesn't get activated. Oh well...
Lilah's feeds have gone back down to zero. We are feeding her five times a day now, and we try at every single one of them to get her to eat. You should see the stuff I do, faces I make, sounds that come out of my mouth... all very ridiculous. As long as it keeps her happy with the bottle in her mouth. Unfortunately, she is spitting up or projectile vomiting with almost every feed. Thank goodness it is summer. I just strip her down and feed her in her diaper. We are meeting with the pediatrician next week to come up with a new plan.
She is sleeping flat in her crib now. I have taken out the elevation and the danny sling that use to keep her up at an incline and she is doing really well. She sleeps through the night and I often have to wake her at 5am to start her feeds again. Luckily, she usually falls back asleep after we've tried the bottle and the pump starts.
Alec on the other hand is not sleeping through the night every night. He has been rolling up a storm. Even asleep when we put him down for the night he instantly rolls over. However at some point in the early morning he realizes he is on his tummy and starts to wail loudly. Sometimes I can rock him back to sleep and sometimes the swing has to do the work.
The other thing Alec is working on is teething. The amount of drool that comes out of his mouth is fantastic! Between his drool and Lilah's spit up, I am very grateful for all the burp cloths given to us.
Here are a few pictures of the kids:
