Due to life being crazy ande having a horrible habit of letting old tabs get buried in my phone, and sometimes poor internet, it looks like this never finished being uploaded! And a lot has already happened since then, haha. But I will try to post this anyway...
Now this has beena crazy last couple of months!
My boys were born on the 25th of February. They were all healthy and we were home in 5 days! They needed a brief NICU stay to help stabilize their blood sugar levels, but other than that they have been great.
Kioni had to stay with my mom and grandma, unfortunately, and I missed her terribly.
Everything has been so surreal.
From learning that we were expecting triplets (and all the impact it had on our building project and our lives), to reaching 37wks, to the almost natural delivery that I had to fight for and ended up compromising on, to the drive home in a torrential rainstorm when our wipers stopped working, to having someone probably in the hospital report a suspected case of neglect to CPS on us (for living in an RV or because I wanted to exclusively breastfeed and they thought I couldn't,or maybe because I was so sleep deprived I likely appeared to be crazy or on something while my kids were in the NICU, I don't know!) and meeting the caseworker a few hours after arriving at home... this has been a strange set of experiences!
Now we're still just trying to figure this out, a month later!
It's very overwhelming.
I feel like it's worth trying to breastfeed them, but that means that I'm pretty well constantly feeding/attached to someone! Often two someones, actually. I don't see a schedule being possible, since much like their older sister they would prefer to be constantly nursing. And I am nervous about how much they're getting so I don't restrict them. Therefore, constantly feeding someone!
I also want to cloth diaper them. But I am having a hard time getting started. I have been staying at my parents often where we stay off and on, because Kioni is having a hard time not having the attention she used to, and dealing with 3 newborns and a toddler is tricky. But that makes it harder to figure out our cloth diaper plan/setup. Plus nothing fits very well yet!
I have been wanting to make some cheap, quick fleece covers, but time is a bit limited. That said, flat diapers have been great for fitting them!
Life is kind of on hold for now. It's just sort of a baby filled blur, and all survival mode. Not much room left over for plans or projects. We'll see how it goes... wish us luck!
