a late night update. I just got finished feeding one of the twins for their overnight feed. they're getting close to sleeping through the night. the world is too fun during daytime waking hours between rolling around and grabbing their feet to get all their needed calories in. They'll be starting solids soon and I hope that'll help too. In other news, taro was hospitalized for a week in January and had two hip surgeries. He had a very bad bacterial infection that took residence up in his hip joint so they had to open up his hip and flush it out. It got bad enough to affect the bone too. At his age, he is growing fast so once he's recovered from the surgery he shouldn't be affected whatsoever. He's been laid up for almost a month now but since being discharged from the hospital he's been making strides in recovery. So proud of my little dude. I can't wait for him to be running around with his busy toddler antics again. As for me, I switched from knitting to cross stitching. I pulled out a kit that I was working on before I had taro and picked up where I left off. The pattern is printed directly on the fabric so it's like color by number, but with stitching. a perfect blend of zoning out and repetitive work. I've been working on a bubble that's part of the background that's mostly shades of white. Boring and engaging which is just what I need at the end of the day after the three kiddos have gone to bed. It's been rough start to 2026 but this year is going to be filled with cuteness with a 2 year old and two rapidly growing twin babies. I'm excited. Hope everyone is doing well! Happy New Year! #momstr
