Crib Transition with Newton Baby

This post is in collaboration with Newton Baby. All opinions are my own. Transitioning Lila Sophia to her crib was an easy decision, but not one that I wanted to make. Having her new and tiny self by my side… Continue Reading →

Lila plays and learns with Lamaze toys

April 10, 2017roxy 9 Comments

  One of the sweetest moments for me was when Lila started interacting with her toys. Once she was using her hands to touch and grab, I squealed and wrote the milestone down in her baby journal. If you followed… Continue Reading →

Instagram post 2198619529188468377_1424877 12.13 was one month out of the womb. It was also the day that we were told Sebastian is ready to come home! Early next week if all goes well this weekend. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
The boys will be reunited! 🥰🥰

Instagram post 2196895280971071187_1424877 We just got our tree up and have yet to decorate it...BUT they did holiday photos in the NICU (cutest ever) and I was in the mood to try it at home.
Swipe for my Christmas wish.

Instagram post 2195547957003278540_1424877 Big things happened between my visit today and Daniel’s a few hours later. First off, Sebastian has a face! That bandage mustache is gone! Not sure if that’s permanent, but it’s so nice to see his little face! There was talk of removing his feeding tube in the next couple days or so because he’s been taking full bottles!
Aaaaand once a crib opens up, he’ll get a more cozy bed! C’mon lil’ Sebastian!
This kid just wants to sleep all the time, hence the side eye. Let’s hope that sticks because Alaric likes to keep me awake...
#NICU
PS I originally shared this in my stories and am@so grateful for everyone’s enthusiasm! 💙💙

Update: We are working with occupational therapists on Sebastian’s feedings and waiting for his air pocket to be reabsorbed. No timeline, just hope and patience.
Alaric has plumped up and eats a ton. It’s worn me out hardcore to nurse and pump all day. My go-to show for both activities is Schitt’s Creek. Took me a few episodes to get into it but I am in love. Anyone else? Best wishes. 😜
PS As always, thanks to everyone who has offered kind words, actions, and optimism. It’s truly appreciated! Even if it makes me cry. 😊
Instagram post 2192335794776286367_1424877 I wanted to add a somewhat “normal” photo to your feed. Not my new normal that consists of daily NICU visits (those can be seen when you swipe). Trying to dress “cute” has helped with my mood a lot - so yay new @miradela sweater and @veatge pieces. 🥰
Sebastian’s status changes daily - and sometimes hourly - like it did yesterday.
Just to explain, chest tubes serve to drain any air leaks that were present after his esophogeal atresia surgery. Since they’ve been removed we’ve been able to hold him. If they discover that air has re-accumulated they’ll put a tube back in through his side, which is uncomfortable for him, and also means we can’t hold him until it’s out again. The doctors are checking a couple times daily, so fingers crossed for the best of course, but I would really love to continue to cuddle my bubs. I think it helps a lot. 🙏🏻💙
PS That’s sleepy Alaric in the final photo. 💙💙 #3weeksold #3weekspostpartum #NICU
Instagram post 2191033293716197504_1424877 Don’t mind me. I’m just in heaven.
Got to hold my baby bubs Sebastian for the first time ever! ❤️❤️❤️
It’s amazing how quickly things can change. Fingers crossed for continued progress.
They removed his second tube so he’s probably much more comfy, and that’s also why we can hold him now. Sebastian downed his bottle (just 15cc but a HUGE improvement for just his third feeding). Blood transfusion because apparently he takes after me a little bit. Sorry, bubs.
No tears from him at all today because he appears to love being held. 🥰🥰🥰
(How am I supposed to leave??) #NICU #simplythebest
Instagram post 2189688207074096306_1424877 We are at a standstill at the moment. Sebastian’s air pocket returned so feedings are postponed to deal with it (again). It’s not a *huge* setback, just disappointing. The combination of that, the rough nights with Alaric, and Lila’s intense tantrums, are really wearing us down, and leaving Daniel and I pretty bummed out. 
Thanks to everyone for the continued support during this strange and stressful time. 💙
