.. I started this post several weeks ago, I think it may have even been the end of september, but the blogger app is garbage, the laptop was dead and the charger was in the babies' room (and if I have a minute to think of blogging, it means babies are napping so there was no going in there then...), and Grant has commandeered the desktop basically 24/7 for work and grad work.
So naps are still bad (although today and yesterday we got some 50 min naps and some hour+ naps, so maybe we'll get it together? probably not...), Delilah has been quite fussy lately (Madeline is fussy too but not as much) so maybe growth spurt? mehhh Idk. We've reached the end of our formula trials and came up with nothing - alimentum didn't help with the spit up like we were hoping (because they could have had sensitive bellies causing it, not just the regular old immature baby parts), I think it made fussiness worse, and it's definitely made the reflux worse. It smells like garbage and that means the spit up I'm covered in daily smells as well. It's actually more like cheez its, but if cheez its had sat in sour milk in a hot garbage can. So we're back to costco formula because that was the next best thing, can you believe it? Basically anything was better than the neosure..
Babies are at the stage of grabbing at everything and trying to get it in their mouths, although they're still a little floppy so that's not always successful. They also like to grab each other or whatever their sister is playing with, and they seem to be enjoying that their sister is around. I had plopped Madeline in the pack n play while Delilah was in a rocker - she did NOT like this, so I put her in the pack n play with her sister, and they were both content just kicking around.
Hopefully all of the videos I want to add to this will work. I keep finding myself thinking about starting a blog post to vent about whatever nonsense is happening at that moment, and no one wants to read that, so I'll keep that to myself. I will say everything is still hard, but lots of it is easier. Having them sleeping through the night has been AMAZING, no more pumping is AMAZING - I don't know how anyone manages that for any length of time. Eating solids is still an adventure, we pee through our jammies every night even with booster pads, I don't know what I'm doing as far as naps and wake windows and all that, there's always screaming... As much as I hate this year (on top of all the rest of the nonsense happening for everyone), I keep reminding myself how good they're really doing developmentally and health-wise, how lucky I am to have them at all
