Differences

So I decided to write a blog about the differences between my kids. There's a ton, so I may miss a few. :) Some of the difference will probably be due to girl/boy, first born/second born, preemie/full term and the fact that they are two different people. M=Mercedes and I=Isaiah

M- Born at 27 weeks  I- Born at 41 weeks and 2 days.

M- Born by emergency C-section   I- Born by a natural V-bac delivery

M- fed B-milk through tube til she was able to nurse at 5 weeks and just over 2LBS   I- Was able to nurse with no complications at birth :D

M- quit nursing at 8 months due to the fact I was not producing milk anymore... Was a very sad day for me, but because I wasn't able to nurse her for so long I never developed a full milk supply. I even tried medicine 3 times to help me produce milk. It was one of the toughest 8 months...  I- has been a happily exclusively breastfed kid and I hope to nurse until the age 2.  :D

M- Slept through the night as soon as we stop waking her to feed her- We had to, because she was a preemie .   I- He also is a really good sleeper and has only got up about once a night since one month old. BUT has definitely been more of a baby we had to train to sleep! :)

M- wanted to eat any food we gave her! :D  I- Has been the fussiest baby to get to eat all varieties of food. But for the last 3 days he has stopped fighting and has been eating everything I give him. Hooray!!  :D

M- would sleep anywhere at anytime we put her down.   I- Needs more routine and consistency

M- Not affectionate, likes to sleep alone.  I- hates NOT to be snuggled 24-7 LOL

M- didn't mind diaper changes  I- hates them :(

M-thumb sucker  I- paci sucker

M- Loved car rides   I- Not a fan

M- didn't get teeth til over a year  I- got teeth at 6 months

M- would take bottles no problem  I- took the last 2 months of fighting to take a bottle- But he is finally taking one and I am SO happy. Still B-milk though.

M- daddy's little girl  I- Mommy's little boy.  :D

M- very out going. Loves to be with new people.   I- not so much. Likes mommy and daddy.

M- takes a lot of pain to make her cry.   I- cries if hit with a foam ball. LOL

M- loved to be read to.   I- just wants to take book and bang it around or eat it


Next blog I will write about all there similarities. I know you're thinking what could they have that's similar, but there's plenty. HA!
