Blogging is hard!

Blogging regular is hard.  I usually use my down time at work to read blogs, catch up on message boards or research our newest "preemie" issue.  Lately I haven't had much downtime.

So what's new with  me and the beehive?

  • Itty Bitty's g-tube may be the best thing ever.  He's gained 4 pounds in 6 weeks.  That's 1/4 of his total week since the tube was placed.
  • Chunky is on the move.  Crawling everywhere!  He's also become quite the momma's boy.  If he's awake when I leave for work, he cries.  But the upside of this is that when I open the door after work, he crawls at warp speed to get to me :)
  • Honey Bee did quite well his first semester in RT school.  Only 4 more semesters and then he can get to work.  Have I mentioned that he's already been  offered a job in the bees' NICU?  Pretty awesome, right?
  • The beehive had a great Christmas.  All three of the bees racked up on gifts.  We are blessed to have family that loves to spoil our kids.  I'm sure it may be a curse in coming years.
  • I've stopped pumping - WOO HOO!!!  Chunky has been on 100% formula for several months and is thriving.  We've recently discovered that Itty Bitty has milk protein sensitivity.  For me to continue pumping, I would have had to make some major changes to my diet.  I decided that for my sanity, I would stop pumping after 9.5 months.  I fee quite accomplished for making it that long.
  • I'm participating in a 366 Challenge.  It's Day 17 and I've missed only 1 day so far.  Lots of pics to come :)
There's lots more to share, but that's just a quick update.  I'm not going to promise to get better at blogging, but I'm going to give it my best shot.
