Sleeping in

FYI, sleeping in on the weekends for mom means sleeping about one hour after having been awake from 3:00 until 8:00. It feels more like an afternoon nap. Nevertheless, it feels great, and I am very grateful that dad allowes me this time.

Ja, dat had ik er wel in gelezen hoor! Het is erg pittig voor je denk ik. Over een maand of 2 zal het al weer heel anders zijn en ben je ook dit weer snel vergeten.

About Loki Sky

Loki Sky is a special little man. He was a very early micropreemie, weighing only 610 grams (1 lb, 5 oz) after 24 weeks, 3 days gestation, born to an American Father and a Dutch Mother in Berkeley, California on October 18, 2008.

On January 11, 2009, while still in the hospital NICU, his one kidney stopped working. It was repaired after three surgeries. After spending time in three hospitals in three cities, Loki came home on February 17. He struggled with eating, and then stopped in July, leading to 8 days in the hospital, a failure-to-thrive diagnosis, and a NG feeding tube. On October 10, a minor surgery installed a G feeding tube. Another procedure replaced it with a new one, and then again with a Mic-Key button in Jan. 2010.

In August 2010, he and his parents moved to the Netherlands.
