Rebecca Ann born 8/31/2014 6lb 1oz 19 inches long 8:55am!!!!
Milestones: Better head and neck control, grasping objects, babbling and laughing.
Challenges: The 4 a.m. wake-ups are back, and poor DH had a total meltdown this morning after feeding R. and trying to get him to go back to sleep for more than an hour.
I finally stepped in and was able to calm him (both of them, actually). Some days are hard!!
Funny/cute stories: Nothing really, but he enjoyed seeing both side of our family this past weekend. He soaked up tons of love.
QOTW: Did you go black Friday shopping? Score any great deals?
Nope. No way. We stayed home and relaxed.
January PAL siggie challenge; Good advice:
Milestones: Lilly rolled over from her tummy to her back. I know it's super early, but we watched her do it 6 times and made a video of it. Crazy!! She is still trying to creep during tummy time and gets super angry when she can't. She is definitely watching me moving around the house and I think she mimicked my faces this morning. Maybe it was a fluke though. She has also started grabbing things if they are near her.
Challenges: She is very inconsistent with sleep. Some nights she does well and even sleeps in her cradle. Others, we end up bedsharing most or all night. I'm ok with it for one chunk of the night, but I don't sleep well with her next to me so this is not working for me. Still lots of screaming in the evenings.
Funny/cute stories: none that I can think of. But we did take our Christmas pictures and ordered our Christmas cards/birth announcements. She looks adorable, but since she is in between sizes right now one of her dresses is huge on her (it's a 0-3 month size).
QOTW: Did you go black Friday shopping? Score any great deals? I wasn't planning on it, but my laptop broke on Friday so I got a new one on Saturday. Got it for $200 off. I also got our Christmas cards using a black Friday deal on Shutterfly.
BFP #1 9/27/2013, EDD 6/10/2014, Mmc 11/01/2013, completed with misoprostol 11/8/2013
BFP #2 2/5/2014, EDD 10/15/2014, Lillian Verletta born 10/23/14
PAL January Siggy Challenge: Good Advice
Milestones: starting to go longer between feedings! He's been doing 2 hours since he was born but he's starting to do 2 1/2-3 hours between feedings.
Challenges: I went back to work today so I'm missing my little man.
Funny/cute stories: None that I can think of right now.
QOTW: Did you go black Friday shopping? Score any great deals? We went out but didn't really but much. It was more to get out of the house than anything.
BFP# 2 3/9/13: EDD 11/12/13 m/c 3/15/13 @ 5w3d
RPL testing shows one copy of MTHFR gene mutation.
My rainbow baby Isaac has arrived!
Milestones: definitely going through a growth spurt! Eating more. Must. Feed. The. Baby. Gahhh!!
Challenges: sleeping. He does fairly well, I have a hard time "sleeping when the baby sleeps." It's more of the early morning (5a-9a) and afternoons (3p-5p) that I'm finding myself the most tired. These are of course the times when he's typically awake & alert or pooping--which he hates the poop process, always better once the poop is out & diaper is changed.
Funny/cute stories: None that I can think of. Yesterday my mom managed to get pooped and peed on. I haven't even had the poop initiation yet )
ETA: QOTW: I did some online shopping. I bought 2 items from Macy's and shipped them to my friends who got married back in July. Better late than never? I was going to wait until xmas, but I thought I might forget again. I even found the card I never sent either :o3 I'm a bad friend. Maybe I'll send the card at xmas with a xmas card.
BFP#4 3/17/14 - rainbow Baby BOY arrived 11/10/14 !!
DX: Uterine Septum - Resection 9/5/13 || MTHFR Hetero A1298C || My Chart
Milestones: He started laughing, but won't laugh at me! My 8 yr old nephew is the only funny person we know according to DS!
Challenges: His thrush came back, so we're trying Gentian Violet for one more round. I really don't want to have to put him on antibiotics this early!
Funny/cute stories: DS doesn't give a shi* about modesty! Whenever I nurse now, he grabs the middle of my shirt, and holds it up against my neck. He won't go to sleep without something touching his face (I take his elephant away once he's asleep.), but won't nurse if anything touches his face... lol
QOTW: Did you go black Friday shopping? Score any great deals? Nope, but I scored a bunch of Flip diaper covers for $5 on Sunday. Cottonbabies has their discontinued Flip cover colors on clearance right now.
Infant Age: 10 weeks
Milestones: lots of smiles and coos. I feel like she's trying to laugh when she opens her mouth really wide. Also loves this toy that plays music when she kicks at it.
Challenges: keeping up my milk supply for her big appetite
Funny/cute stories: my mom was watching her today and I stupidly left the disc in the bottle so baby was screaming at her until she realized why no milk was coming out. Poor baby and grandma!!!
QOTW: Did you go black Friday shopping? Score any great deals? We got DH a new work computer and I bought 3 pair of uggs and kept returning as the prices kept dropping!! Got them for $120 less than what I origianllg paid!! (I don't have 3 pairs of boots - just one )

@doglover31 that's great LO is learning to stretch out time between feedings! Icant imagine what its like to go back to work. I hear it gets easier after a few days, I hope that is true for you!
