LOs name? Elle
How are you feeling physically/emotionally?
I feel great! LO is growing so quickly. I can't believe my eyes. In also amazed about how much other people love her and want to be with her. It's beautiful.
Challenges/Successes? She's sleeping longer. We're coming or of a wonder week, so that was a little challenging.
Cute/Funny stories? I love that she is now aware of the world. This awareness now attracts strangers. She stares at people and lures then with her smile.
QOTW- I put on my regular clothes helps me feel normal. Wearing a little make-up helps too. My goal is not to be the new mom in yoga pants with LO looking like a superstar. I don't have to look as fabulous as her. I just want to look nice.
LOs name? Sawyer
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? It depends on the day. DH and I are still working on things and it feels like when we take 1 step forward and it's 2 steps back. Today, it's 5 steps back. I'm still trying to bf and supplement, but LO's reflux is really bad and it seems to get worse when I eat certain things. When I cut one thing out of my diet then it's something else. I really want to be able to give her what measly amount of breast milk I have, but I'm not quite sure how much longer we both can keep doing this. I'm just a big ball of emotions today, sorry guys!
Challenges/Successes? Challenges- LO had a reaction to her vaccines the day afterwards. The daycare called me and said that she felt warm. Her teacher took her temperature, said it was 100, waited 5 minutes and it was 103. I was 45 mins away from her and I cried the whole way there because I just wanted to make sure my baby was ok. She was so pitiful and very lethargic. The nurse we talked to on the phone said we had to do a rectal temperature so we had to go home. Thankfully, her fever started to go down pretty quickly and we didn't have to take her end. It was really scary though, I took a picture of her when I was cuddling her and my mom said "the lights are on, but no one's home". I dread more vaccines. Successes- She's still STTN! Last night she fell asleep in her swing at 8:30 and I thought she would sleep until her next feeding at 9:30... but she kept sleep. I had to get her out of her swing and change her diaper before I went to bed at 11:30. She woke up while I was changing her, ate a little bit and fell back asleep. I woke up to her make noises this morning just looking around and it was 7:30! It was amazing!
QOTW- In your limited time now, what do you try to do to feel pretty and like yourself again. I put on makeup and the other day I plucked my eyebrows... it had been waaaayyyy too long. lol!
LOs name? Hunter
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Exhausted and exhausted.
Challenges/Successes? Breast feeding
Cute/Funny stories? Every time I get an incredibly poopy diaper I get the biggest smile. Sometimes even giggle. It's so great to know he enjoys it so much.
QOTW- In your limited time now, what do you try to do to feel pretty and like yourself again. I always put on make up before I leave the house. I need that vanity time to feel good and 4 or 5 nights a week my mom comes by so I can go out for a walk for a little while. And I have added a lot of pages/apps like this to talk to other moms. Give my advice and hear other advice. Love the community aspect. It's so good that even though we're stuck at home most of the time. There are ways to commune with tons of other people.
How old is LO?- 7 weeks
LOs name? -Connor
How are you feeling physically/emotionally?
I am feeling a bit overwhelmed and trapped. My LO has torticollis and is still struggling to raise his head. He has great stability vertical but lifting from tummy time is very hard. He also has a milk protein allergy and reflux. I have been dairy free for two weeks now and it seems better but he is still very fussy. We/I get maybe 40 minutes a day total of awake time that is not fussy.
Challenges/Successes?
Challenges-Trying to still get things done that need to be accomplished. (At home business orders, info for long term sub, and packing because we move on Tuesday.
Successes-starting sleep cues for evening sleep. Still trying to figure out nap time ones.
Cute/Funny stories?
He had a diaper blowout in his car seat and while that wouldn't normally seem cute or very funny it is because I didn't know the extent of it at first until I was finding poop literally everywhere on him (including somehow on his head). One plus - We now know how to completely disassemble the carrier straps and all so they can be washed.
LOs name? Kelsey
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? More like myself lately. And the weight is finally starting to fall off again! Woohooo!
Challenges/Successes? Successes - she is still a great sleeper and we're getting anywhere from 10 - 11 1/2 hour stretches a night. Don't hate, DD1 was not a great sleeper. Challenges - we have to go see an ENT at the children's hospital for two dimples on her nose that could be connected to a sinus tract which could be a bad thing. I'm prepping myself for an MRI at a minimum. Ugh
Cute/Funny stories? She noticed the cats this weekend. Is was funny to watch her just zone in on them and try to figure them out.
QOTW- In your limited time now, what do you try to do to feel pretty and like yourself again. I try to get my makeup done while I pump in the morning at a minimum. I've been trying out different ways to make a "ponytail" cute or sexy to spice things up.

All Alers Welcome!
Name - Ariella (we all call her Ella)
How am I feeling - Pretty good considering I have been able to loose a pound every week to two weeks. Stepping on the scale is not as scary anymore (I gained over 40 so it will take awhile). I am exhausted from all the motn feeding and LO fighting to sleep though... There are also still times when I am very nervous when H goes to work. I want to go back to work but I also dont... It's very mixed emotions and probably will stay that way until I go back to work in a couple weeks.
Cute/funny stories - We know this since years ago but it is still so funny when we play with LO's arms and she cant touch the top of her head. Oh and her poopy faces and grunts always make us laugh. Now that she talks up a storm... We love to talk back to her.
QOTW - Nothing really... Just trying to wear my pre-pregnancy clothes and put on a little makeup. And YES to the no yoga pants with LO looking anazing.
