We had our one month check up the other day. H is 6lbs 15oz and E is finally on the normal growth chart (1st percentile) at 7lbs 2oz. I boxed up the preemie clothes and leftover preemie diapers (they're perfect for future baby dolls!) and even have a couple of gerber newborn onesies that are probably going to be retired in the next week or so. I can't believe it's been a month tho. Like it seriously flew by!

I can't believe you have one month old twin girls. They are just adorable. Glad they are starting to grow big and strong!!!
onesweetworld how is M? Are you guys home now? How is motherhood treating you?
We came home around noon yesterday. Can't believe she's not even 72 hours old. I'm waiting on the pediatrician office to call to schedule an appointment for today since they changed her from 2 days to 24 hours when her bilirubin came back slightly elevated and we wee having been nursing issues.
I'm ready for my mom to come hang out with her so I can nap. She's a good girl but I would much rather nap knowing someone else is holding/watching her.
We have our 2 week check up in about an hour. If I remember correctly, I think my mini may be getting a shot today? Isn't there at least 1 at 2 weeks? Poor thing.
No. Not until 2 months. At least that's our schedule. They got hep vaccines in the hospital tho.
Hey!!! R is almost not an infant anymore and I have all the feels. She's just getting so big! She's constantly wanting to stand on the really rough gravely sidewalk when we hang out on the stairs out front, so I bought her her first pair of shoes last night. She's not walking yet, but it's coming. Soon.

Oh no! Poor baby M Yeah my M had to have her heel pricked for blood sugars every 3 hours in the hospital because she was a large gestational weight. Thankfully they all came back normal and she's just a big girl

I knew you'd find us! Sorry I didn't tag you, I've only had 2-3 hours of sleep the last three days.

I had them do the hep b in the hospital too, I figured they were pissing her off with the vitamin K, why not just get it over with. I almost cried my eyes out when they did he pku testing strip though, poor girl was pissed.

Also can I say major props to OSW for pushing out a huge baby. I only had 5lb babies and I still got stitches. You ladies are amazing!

My girls were in the special care nursery so much that they ended up doing all the heel pricks, vaccines, baths, everything in there so I didn't see any of it. But when we took them to their first ped appt I finally took the bandaid off of Hs foot and she bled everywhere. Poor girl got pricked so many times 😢

jennykat - Same for us. DS got a hepB vaccine in the hospital then the first full round of shots at his 2 month appointment.

I found R on his belly in his crib when I woke up this morning (and with his head on the opposite end from where I put him down last night). I've been waiting for him to roll back to belly and he decides to do it for the first time while MH and I are sleeping!!
I'm WFH today so I've been trying to bribe him with toys to do it again, but he got grumpy because he needed his morning nap so we'll try again later.
I also didn't know that this corner of TCF existed. I'll play. I want to go out into the world but L likes my boobs SO MUCH. Even when he's full he likes to hang out on them. I need to figure out a way to baby-wear him so he can BF while I do adult things.

Odd diaper question: does anyone else use pampers swaddlers and notice their babies smell weird? We have a zillion different brands of diapers thanks to our amazingly generous diaper raffles. But I hate using the swaddlers because (maybe I'm crazy) but I think the scent of the diapers plus even the tiniest bit of pee and my babies smell like fart. I'm constantly checking for poop because I can smell them across the room. Are my babies just weird? Do all diapers smell like this and I'm just blaming swaddlers?

We also have a bunch of different types. I'll pay attention to this next time we try a swaddler

I also don't see how people manage to skip diaper changes overnight. If we skip even one (based on feeding every 3/4 hours) they leak. They are just pee machines I guess.

I changed with every feeding up until like 3 months. Now, we can go all night and I don't have to. But I use Huggies Snug & Dry and I found they were far more absorbent than pampers swaddlers.

This is what my schedule says too. I'm headed to the pediatrician right now for her exam. I'm having anxiety over it but I think it's just because my mom is driving and she's slow. I hate being late 😬

Thanks friend! Not sure how I did it but it happened and I'm living to tell the tale 👍🏻
