Roll Call

yesthisiskim · May 2011

Good evening ladies!

I thought I would make my random roll calls a little more interesting so besides talking about our day/night/baby I'll try to come up with a topic or a question for us to discuss. Feel free to give me ideas or feed back. And feel free to talk about whatever you want

Today was a overall a fantastic day for LO - she was so talkative and for the most part happy. I remember waiting for her to smile at me, not at the gas bubbles, and she did a ton of toothless, tongue curled, mouth wide open smiles for me today which I caught on camera and video The next thing I'm really looking forward to is her calling for me (saying mama). That and having her STTN. What next 'milestone' are you looking forward to?

Oh, and here is a (crappy - from my cellphone) picture of my toothless wonder from a little earlier

I just have to brag/show off, sorry

Today was an okay day for little son. He was cute and cuddly this morning and afternoon. Except he turned into an unholy terror from about 7 to 10, when he finally fell asleep. Now I'm waiting for him to eat once more before I head to bed.

The milestone I'm most looking forward to next is babbling! He's trying so hard to make noises, but he just can't. quite. get there. It is precious. I'm going to be so proud of him when he can make his vocal cords work when he wants them to.

Aubrey's smile is precious!!

I can't wait for LO to start smiling for real and to start cooing. It would be nice to know that all of our time spent talking to her is doing some good.

Looking for smiles here as well! LO def smiles - but they are completely random which leads me to believe they are still gas... boo...

I had a horrible day.... will post later in depth but it ended with me getting in a huge fight with my mom and sister and "cutting them off" - let's just say I am an emotional basket-case as my mom is also my best friend....

Other than that - LO was up ALL night again (11pm to 7am) finally went to sleep at 7 and was up at 10 for food, then 1...and didn't go back to sleep until about 5pm.... I feel so bad for her. Her little mouth hurts so bad! Right now she is sleeping peacefully and I had to force her to eat her 9pm meal....which took a long time due to her not fully waking up to eat... narg... ha ha - but she is so darn cute!

Here is her during "awake time" this afternoon:

I'm looking forward to a smile! Hen doesn't cry too much, but he is so grumpy. My heart yearns for a smile!

This. Jack isn't really grumpy just serious. He smiles but they are rare. I am telling myself that because he was a little early he will hit the milestones a little later.

We had a pretty good day. We had to go once again pick up new formula, then I wore DS while we grocery shopped, and we went on a walk in the park with his girlfriend...my friend has a six month old and we've decided they belong together.

I'm looking forward to more smiles. I've gotten a few (very few) intentional smiles, but I want more.

Girly girl just fell asleep on my chest... I'm giving it a few minutes to make sure she's really out before we go upstairs to bed. Don't want to disturb daddy if we don't have to. Fingers crossed she's out for the night- and fingers crossed she does another five hour stretch like last night!!!

I'm waiting for real smiles- she smiles a lot, but I don't think they've been "real" yet since it's early.

Today started off pretty rough but around 2pm, when I was at my wits end I decided enough is enough, put him in his carrier and went for a 1.5 hour walk. Definitely felt better after that.

I'm looking forward to a real smile, or heck, I guess first I'm really looking forward to him looking at me and actually seeing me.

OMG too cute!! I love her little dress!! Argh, I never dress Aubrey up unless we're going somewhere. Plus we don't own too many NB outfits, which is all she fits into. But seriously, what a cutie! Sorry you're having such an awful day, though

AllysonKG · May 2011

So far baby D has only *really* smiled when he's attached to my boob... It's the weirdest thing! He is thisclose to giving a big smile when he's watching DH or me being silly, but still hasn't quite done it. He'll give a little half smirk or just open his mouth really wide. I'm really looking forward to him laughing and making cute noises on purpose.

As far as milestones, I'm just waiting for Liam to get a little stronger at picking his head up and looking around. I got "talked to" by the pediatrician that he should be doing more tummy time for muscle development. We *do* tummy time, but it's not his favorite thing to do. If you're walking with his head on your shoulder, he lifts his head all the time to look at things; just doing it when he's on his stomach isn't his thing yet. Most tummy times last about 3 to 5 minutes at a time and end with him crying :-( I'm guessing this is because he was three weeks early.

Today we took our longest walk babywearing yet so far--just to a park down the hill where the moms group meets, but coming home uphill still felt like a challenge. Tonight, I'm planning on writing some poetry, Liam is asleep on me, and Jared is in the basement practicing for an upcoming gig. The author pics I was sending off earlier today were for the 2012 Poet's Market. (I'm the "publishing expert" on form poetry this year, so I figured I should actually write some poetry :-)

I was really hoping to not be here for another couple hours since I just put him down at 10:00, so I am most looking forward to him STTN!

I'm just finishing up feeding Colton then its time to pump for his next bottle. Today was a bit rough as I.can't seem to pump enough milk to keep him happy. I had to dig into my very small freezer stash to give him 2 more oz before bed and took out 3 oz to have just in case. I really can't wait for my nips to heal so I.can get away from my pump! Colton started real smiling last week. I can't wait for him to laugh! Oh and.sleeping through the night would be great too! Btw- I wonder why my ticket is off by 2 days....

MrsRoy07 · May 2011

I'm back- didn't get the five hour stretch I was hoping for, but at least she was asleep for real and didn't wake up when I put her down. We're feeding now, then hopefully right back down! I can't wait till she's sttn too...

toadybug · May 2011

LO has gotten really bad about wanting to stay up for a couple of hours when she gets up for her nighttime feeding. We're usually up from 3-5. Tonight she woke at 2:30 and I just now TRIED to lay her back down, but I'm sure it won't take. I hate it! I don't mind middle of the night feedings, but I just wish we could go back to sleep after! Needless to say, I'm most looking forward to STTN.

ellaNu630 · May 2011

Oooh, LO just did his longest sleep stretch, 4 hrs. I was halfway through pumping when he woke up and so I'm feeling very engorged, will have to finish up once he's done.a little concerned though because although it's been 4 hrs, one of my boobs is producing nothing, hmmm.
