Overall he is very lazy with his PO feeds and if he takes a whole bottle one feed, he needs at least another to recover because he sleeps. So, for now, we are stuck in the endless loop of waiting on him to click with his feeds. His dr thinks it will prolly be closer to his DD before we can discuss discharge.

This must all be so upsetting :-( Hopefully the new fortifier is better and he starts doing better at his feedings. I'm sure your doctor just wants to make sure he'll thrive once he gets discharged but it must be so painful to think of him in the hospital for so long. Do they have him on anything for the reflux? It can be so hard to find the right mix of formula/feeding and reflux treatments for each baby.
@cashewchicken
I'm sure he'll adjust -- there have just been so many changes over the past year with the pandemic/etc, I think all kids are showing some signs of their attempts to cope with it. Although I think 2 years tend to be a bit cranky in general, they're developing opinions and desires but don't yet understand that they can't get everything they want! Anne was really upset yesterday because I didn't have a Frozen t-shirt for her to wear (the Minnie one wasn't good enough I guess). And kudos for you doing potty training. We've decided our current box of diapers will be the last but we still haven't bit the bullet and done it, just need to...
AFM, with the cases surge in Florida, DH doesn't want Anne going to her summer camp so she's still at home with me. It annoys me that restaurants in our state our open but not -playgrounds-. I just spent 30 minutes driving around to see if any were open for her to play in since the landscapers are working on our lawn today. She's become quite the chatterbox over quarantine despite everything -- she prefers to talk in full sentences so she intersperses "I need daddy!" or "I want fries!" with the more typical one or two word combos. She's also obsessed with having a clean room when she goes for a nap or bed; she tosses everything in the toy box (while complaining that she has to nap)! She is currently learning to sing "Let it Go" and insists on listening to it -ALL THE TIME-.
I got my bloods and cycle work up done with my RE and it looks pretty dismal. My AMH was even lower this time (0.62 to 0.28) and my AFC was down as well. Since we only got 9 mature eggs with my first cycle, the RE is being pragmatic says we could maybe hope for 4-5 eggs if we did another cycle. Since our 9 mature eggs translated into 1 normal embryo (2 day 6 blasts, 1 stopped developing, 1 became little Anne), we're feeling a bit like this is the end of the road. I guess I should feel lucky that I do have my little girl, but a part of me feels sad over the family I always imagined having.

@cashewchicken So close! Good job too with the potty training so far. 👍 It's a journey regardless. We started introducing it several months ago now, with some success, but it was hard with her not being verbal enough to tell me clearly, plus appointments and things... We still offer the potty, but I'm not pushing it. Hoping there will be better opportunity to practice once I'm glued to the playroom with a NB anyway lol
@wildrainbow I'm sorry to hear about the feeding struggles, and I hope they can get that fortifier sorted. It's got to be so hard waiting to bring him home, and just watching him in the NICU. (((Hugs)))

She definitely did not get the 'neat' gene from me, that's sure. I was one of those kids in school whose locker would barely close XD XD
We've decided to start potty training this weekend. I have a ton of undies (Frozen and Minnie, of course) for her, we have her seat set up...it's just a matter of doing it and DH says we just need to bite the bullet and do it.
@hanshotfirst77
I think everyone who's been out of daycare/preschool/school due to the pandemic is in the same spot, little sister or no. I know we've been using screens alot more than I would like, but we're all just doing the best we can. I need to work during the day at times and her dad is at home working too, so we're trying to find that balance. I can't imagine how much more difficult it would be to balance that with a newborn to care for...I feel inadequate with just my little one by herself at times. Frustrated that I'm saying 'no' or getting upset when I would like to be calm and patient. I thiink that sibling relationships are constantly evolving also. I remember resenting my little sister a little when she was first born and my mom and dad were spending so much time with her. But that evolved as we both got older and more understanding, especially once we could play and talk together.

@hanshotfirst77 - Hey lady. Glad to hear the baby is doing well. Your mom is still around to help with the baby, right? I couldn't remember if she lived with you or was just visiting. I know it's hard with everything being shut down.
This is so wonderful to hear!! He was ready to go!
