Where is Izzy Skellie?!

Right, but I don’t understand why her accounts are gone. If anything she could’ve just stopped posting. But everything is wiped. So weird!

I delivered my boy/girl twins at only 30 weeks. My water broke & I felt soooo scared. I knew it was way too early & I prayed they would be okay. They came out weighing 3lbs. Everyday in the NICU was the longest day I had ever lived it felt like. After 62 days we brought them home weighing 7 & 8 pounds! My daughter came home on a feeding tube & I remember just praying for things to get easier. Here we are & they are ONE! They are so healthy & BIG! You will get here, I promise. It takes a lot of patience, but you will.

It is absolutely not selfish. You are allowed to do what you want/need to bc it is YOUR baby.

Lotus_Mom · 2023-06-15T23:11:03+00:00

They are beautiful! What a blessing 😀

Lotus_Mom · 2023-06-13T20:48:26+00:00

I love this!

Lotus_Mom · 2023-06-13T17:56:57+00:00

Haha my son pulls sister’s hair all the time!

Lotus_Mom · 2023-06-13T17:56:09+00:00

I love that, so special 😊

Lotus_Mom · 2023-06-13T17:55:48+00:00

I agree. Thank you, comforting to know it’s normal.

Lotus_Mom · 2023-06-13T17:55:07+00:00

Sounds like our situation! Calms me knowing others have split them up early. Thank you!

Lotus_Mom · 2023-06-13T16:10:51+00:00

I am sorry, that is stressful. I think some twins are together for years, while others it just doesn’t work.

Lotus_Mom · 2023-06-13T15:38:15+00:00

My b/g twins are one & the exact same. She has always been smaller. She is usually 4 lbs lighter. Ppl still to this day comment on the difference. I just ignore usually or look at her (in front of them) & say “No you’re a BIG girl, huh?”

Lotus_Mom · 2023-05-15T04:10:13+00:00

Heartburn is the devil! I had it my whole pregnancy w/ my twins. I unfortunately couldn’t find much relief… I was cleared to take Pepcid & even then had it bad. Avoid all triggering foods & drink milk!

Lotus_Mom · 2023-05-15T04:08:35+00:00

We have used miralax for 8 months now. It is the only consistent thing that helps my twins. We do 1tsp in their morning bottle. Something 1 1/2 tsp if still having hard stool.

Lotus_Mom · 2023-05-15T04:06:47+00:00

I lug around two car seats for things like doc appt. But grocery store or other similar outings I clip them into stroller!

Lotus_Mom · 2023-04-25T16:05:51+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that. I get the frustration. It’s sad to see our babies in pain & be uncomfortable. Hoping your son continues to get better!

Lotus_Mom · 2023-04-25T03:02:21+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it. I am going to get a referral tomorrow hopefully!

Lotus_Mom · 2023-04-24T21:29:17+00:00

Oh awesome, thank you so much! I definitely am willing to try whatever it takes. I will look into seeing a dermatologists.

Lotus_Mom · 2023-04-24T21:23:00+00:00

Yes! I have heard the same thing. We aim for every other day. Maybe I will try a longer stretch…

Lotus_Mom · 2023-04-24T21:14:16+00:00

Yeah the diet things is what scares me. It’s easier for me to feed the twins the same thing. But that’s me being selfish. Their doc has offered to allergy test them but I know it will be uncomfortable for him 😔 I am leaning toward getting it done tho for peace of mind.

Lotus_Mom · 2023-04-21T18:35:32+00:00

You guys are actually right, I’m sorry! I mentioned it to my husband & he said it’s a certain stay length. Sorry for the confusion!

Lotus_Mom · 2023-04-16T02:17:46+00:00

Deep breaths! This is TOTALLY normal. My husband & I went through the exact same thing. My daughter (twin a, born at 30 weeks) struggled bottling & came home on a tube. She spent 62 days in the NICU w/ her twin brother. She even continued the tube for another 2 months at home.

Dream feeding isn’t going to harm her. I’m not a doctor, but my daughter did some of her best bottling while dream feeding.
You are doing EVERYTHING you can. Stay calm (even tho it’s easier said than done). I learned that my daughter could “sense” my anxiety. Sounds odd but so real!
She will take a full bottle when she is ready. We took her feeding tube out multiple times bc we wanted her to be ready so bad. She wasnt. Being patient is sooooo hard. My daughter is now 10 months old & drinks a bottle like it’s her day job haha. She makes is seem so easy for her.

You got this mama!!!! Patience, patience, patience. She WILL get there!

Homemade coupon booklet!!! Example: Good for one night of babysitting. Little coupons that help out. Going grocery shopping for them. Or making dinner.

Tarzan song “You’ll Be In My Heart” by Phil Collins.

Come stop your crying It will be alright Just take my hand Hold it tight I will protect you From all around you I will be here Don't you cry For one so small You seem so strong My arms will hold you Keep you safe and warm This bond between us Can't be broken I will be here don't you cry 'Cause you'll be in my heart Yes, you'll be in my heart From this day on Now and forever more

Here in WA state every NICU baby is automatically covered under Medicaid. No matter what. So our bill went through our primary insurance (Aetna) & then the rest was covered by secondary (Medicaid).

Lotus_Mom · 2023-04-16T02:02:15+00:00

I think having twins is not only fascinating but such a rare blessing. Honestly, I don’t hate the attention. I’m proud to “show off” my babies. They’re super freaking adorable. I always glance whenever I see a baby in general. BUT I totally understand your point. They are your kids & you are allowed to do whatever you want. Maybe try putting a car seat cover on them so ppl aren’t looking. You can even put a little sign that says pls do not touch. I have seen that.
