  • Infant Age: 3.5 months
    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.

    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.

    Infant Age: 3w2d

    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 !!

  • Infant Age: 15 weeks

    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.

  • @2redtulips‌ so sorry the MOTN wakeups are back. Hopefully LO will go back to normal sleeping soon.

    @YuMMMy721‌ hopefully LO's cold is getting better and gone very soon! How fun to go pick a tree with LO in the snow!

    @classicstar28‌ yay LO on rolling over! I just love when they are able to mimick us it's so fun to interact! Hopefully sleep will become more consistent soon.

    @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!

    @Veganlady so sorry LO was sick on your trip hopefully you were still able to have a good time.


    I promise to respond to the remaining ladies later on. Thank you all for being patient with me.

  • @meagpt22‌ I hope LO's skin is better. That'sgreat that she does well in her crib. My LO also likes her projection thing it knocks her right out.

    @Happyin14‌ so sorry for the chocking scares we have those often at our house and every time it scares me.

    @KMW08 hopefully you are able to avoid poop initiation for a long time!

    @kateitho‌ sorry the thrush came back. T&P u can avoid antibiotics. My LO will only do a real laugh for grandma so I understand.

    @Kaylam714 Babies deffinetly love to watch what mommy is doing! Also my LO loves to look at the Christmas lights too!
