Babies: 0 - 3 Months
Name 1 kick_ass thing and 1 bad thing about you/your baby
Good: I am one of those people who was back in pp clothes right away. I have health issues to thank for that (ones I would have rather done without), but yes, I was back down to pp weight (very) quickly.
Bad: The first month and a half of being a mom was rough for me. Rough. I wasn't on the Bump back then because I was too stressed out to even turn my computer on. Nursing was hard, my babe cried a lot, I was over tired and totally rundown.

Re: Name 1 kick_ass thing and 1 bad thing about you/your baby
Good- He spits up very little. (There are a million things I could say in this catergory but the spit up thing is awesome)
Bad- He loves to be swaddled but is now rolling over so I have no idea how I'm going to break that habit. And I've tried and failed twice already.
Good: She started sleeping from 8pm-5am at around 2m2w. BF came easily to me (although I was totally not educated about the pain of my milk coming in!)
Bad: She doesn't nap!! So frustrating. I'm not anywhere near my PP jeans...and I have a bunch of stretchmarks that I'm so not thrilled with...
Good: He is pretty independent and likes to play and roll on his own and doesn't require being carried around everywhere and doesn't cry a ton. He is also hitting milestones left and right.
Bad: I was a total mess after he was born. It has taken me until now to deal.
Good: My baby is healthy and happy. Thank God! He is such a light in my life.
Bad: Wooooo PPD. Bad, bad, bad. Major health complications on my end...finally starting to get a grip on things.
good: she is very happy.... she's always smiling and giggling.. it makes my day
bad: she doesn't like DH all the time... so i rarely get free time.
Good: she is sleeping through the night.
Bad: NEVER naps during the day, unless it is for 20 minutes.
Good: I have a pretty easy going baby overall and have found that being a mother is all that I had hoped for and more.
Bad: I tend to be a bit overprotective and psycho I admit it. Oh and my belly is still loose and has stretch marks. It could always be worse so I'm not all that worried.
Good: I have a healthy and happy low maintenance baby and DS STTN from 10 pm-7am. I love my DS to death and love being a mom.
Bad: Lots of them. Where do I start? I don't want to go back to work, but I want to go back to work. I have a pouch belly and stretch marks wont go away. Still haven't found a nanny for my DS. I still have a pregnant brain and I worry how I will do my highly demanding job. So on and on.
Good: DS is very low-maintenance baby. He hardly ever cries (less than a minute a day), sleeps pretty well at night, and smiles a lot.
Bad: He had a stroke shortly after birth and it's making me uber-freakout-paranoid-mom about whether he's meeting his milestones. Is he using his left hand enough? Is he babbling and cooing? Can he roll over yet? Stand? Walk?
Good: This is my 3rd baby, and I am more relaxed and mature and dealing with things very, very well. (My other two children were born when I was 17 & 20 yrs old.) I have an awesome DH who helps out.
Bad: I gained excessive weight and it ain't coming off anytime soon.
Kick ass: she's the happiest baby in the world. She wakes up "talking" and is all smiles as soon as you grab her. She has never woken up crying. As for me, my stomach went right back to how it was pp.
Bad: Baby blues were hard and I missed out on a lot of great things during that period. It makes me sad just thinking of it.
Good-Too many to list. She has been such an amazing baby which I am VERY thankful for since I am taking care of the kids all on my own for now. She makes it easy on me.
Bad-my husband missed pretty much the entire pregnany and first 6 months of her life.
