  • Still here. Just put DD to bed so I'm bumping from my phone under the covers. We are in the middle of the 4mw and it's zapping some much needed rest from me. I'll update more tomorrow but wanted to say that I'm still around.

  • I'm here. Just got up to feed G. He gave me a good 4.5 HR stretch. Now if only I had been in bed all that time. Oh well. Better luck next time. If there is one. :S. Otherwise we are hanging tough. I've been back at work for 2 weeks now and it sucks donkey ballz. G is doing about the same. Let's leave it at that. See siggy for recent pic. Hope my fellow October Mommas are doing well!

  • I am here and super exhausted from 4MW, work and sickness. I am tired all the time and everyone at work pretty much hates me.

  • I am still here - at least a few times a week. DD had her 4m appt this week. She is a whopping 17lbs9oz and 25.5in long! She is still a great baby but I am worrying about the 4MW. I hate being back at work but so thankful I am a teacher and have summer break to look foward to!

    This is a couple weeks old - but I love it!

  • How am I? Tired! Working is really zapping my energy. Lack of sleep and little prep time has me working every minute I'm free. Any extra free time is spent driving to daycare to feed DD or pumping.

    How is DD? Hitting her 4mw. She is recovered from RSV, but the sleep is just blah. She has been rolling like a log and always wanting to nap on her tummy at daycare. I keep having them turn her back over. I'm just too scared. 

    She is also doing baby crunches and loves to sit up/stand. She grabs and shoves everything in her mouth. We have not started solids, but are starting to think about it. For some reason, DH is hesitant about it.

    Here is a pic from a couple of weeks ago.

  • I'm here every now and then.  We're going through a fussy period at the moment and I'm not sure why.  It could be teething but know that widely announcing that would mean him not getting teeth for another 6 months and making me feel like an idiot.  He got his 4 month shots today and has been sleeping ever since.  I'm hoping he doesn't make me pay for taking him to that mean doctor's office tonight by deciding to stay up all night crying.  So far, so good.

    I don't have any new pics on this computer to share, and my siggy pic is about a month old, so no bonus points for me. 

    I do want to say I'm so happy to see a siggy pic from you, Sandy!  Little G is as cute as can be, and our lives are made just that much better by getting to see him in your siggy. :)

    Hi!

    Em had her upper GI series today (barium swallow) and everything looked great. Then we went to the pedi for her rash and they said its ecezma and we might need to see a dermatologist. Then I pointed out that one of her shoulders is higher than the other (and her head always tilts one way) and the doctor looked at her super close and realized her mouth droops slightly which goes along with head tilt because of the way she was smashed to one side while in my ute. So now we have to go see a PT.

    So our doctorish count will be up to 4 soon. Pedi, GI, dermatologist and PT. My kid believes in the whole go big or go home mindset I guess!

    Oh goodness, poor Em! So glad you're such a great mommy and on top of all this! She sounds like me when I was pg - I have an endo, reg doc (BP issues), OB, eye doc (rare complications), neurologist (related to the eye/brain thing), at the hospital 2x a week for NSTs and BP - so on any given week I was seeing 3-4 different drs. So glad thats over!

  • here. 

    DD is STTN w/o her paci now.  we had to take it away b/c she woke for it often.  However she is still spitting up like it's nobody's business.  She had her first real bad cold too.  She weights 13lbs 2oz and is 24inches long.  She'll go for her 4month shots on monday.  we had to hold off on them b/c she was sick. 

    Hope everyone's LO's are doing well!

  • Hi I'm still here! DD is doing better every day. We are still dealing with random bouts of fussiness, and she doesn't like strangers at all, but things have gotten so much easier than when she was a colicky newborn.

  • Sorry its taken me so long to get back on and answer my own post, lol.  I lurk here regularly, but getting on my desktop to post is difficult sometimes.

    We're doing fine.  D is  more or less sleeping thru the night lately.  Down around 9, up for a quick feed around 11 then I don't hear from him until 7am.  He's been in his crib a month now and does well with it aside from falling asleep on his own.  Still working on him nursing to sleep and needing to nap on me though.  Any of you battle that?  How'd you get them to fall asleep on their own?

    He's a busy guy lately.  Loves shoving things into his pie hole and kicking things (my boob, my cell phone, the wipes box when I'm trying to change him...you get the idea).  He's thisclose to rolling on purpose as well.  Keeps trying new vocalizations and such each day too...including a tongue sticking out move DH taught him that is hilarious.

    This is from earlier this week
