POM Check-In 7.29

[nomnom]

- 10.5 months, b/g

- We're in survival mode right now. MH injured his non-operated leg and I'm still in first tri nausea and fatigue trying to do almost all of the childcare and more housework. Between the two of us we barely have enough resources to keep up with the babies.

- What did you do for baths after the blue infant tub stopped working?

- QOTW: If you could write a note to your younger self, what would you say in only two words? Fewer loans. I took out way to many loans for college.

@feegan, ds1 is the king of I need attention NOW! He actually ripped dd's potty sticker chart off the wall and threw it on the toilet cause she was getting attention and he wasn't interested in pt'ing yet. We took care of the issue by finding other things to praise him so he still got some attention. Not sure if that's the right way to go though.

nomnom, t&ps to your family. I can't imagine how tough it is for you right now. By 10 months we got one of those rubber bath mats that look like pepples from target and bathed the twins together in it. They were really good sitters by then and were pretty good at staying seated.
Good luck with everything. I hope you catch a break soon!

I'm actually here relatively on time.

BGG triplets are 9 months/6 months adjusted

Babies are doing pretty good. Starting to actually say mama and dada which is awesome. Really making progress with PT, OT, DT, and ST finally. Nataleigh still isn't eating much. But we are making it.

Naps are awful. The kids sleep through the night (9-7) with very rare wake ups for a passy or bc they rolled and hit their head kinda thing. But all fights naps something awful and I'm lucky if I get one 30 min nap all day. Any advice or tips?

Qotw: live life!

nomnom I missed that you were expecting since I don't get to get on often, congratulations!!

7 weeks b/g

Going really well, they had their longest stretch last night from 8 - 3 which was incredible! My husband takes that feeding shift so he was happy really looking forward to when they can smile and start interacting more with the rest of the family.

QOTW: stop worrying!

nomnom, we moved straight to the big tub, together. It works ok because A is pretty stationary but W is a maniac and once A is mobile I think it will be difficult. I'm going to pick up 2 small laundry baskets to put in the tub just to keep them contained, and keep them from stealing toys from each other.

I've been sick so just getting around to this.

- How old/combo (gg/bb/bg/etc) are your multiples? 6 weeks! girls

- How's it going, any upcoming Dr Appts or milestones you'd like to discuss? They are starting to sleep in 6 hour stretches at night so I'm feeling more human. Finn is smiling more, Evie is my little grump fish, she can smile, she just doesn't. Starting to have much better head control and when on my chest they lift up and look around.

- Do you have any questions or concerns that you'd like advice on? Started stirring rather than shaking the bottles and that's helped with the farting.

- QOTW: If you could write a note to your younger self, what would you say in only two words?

Don't settle.
