October 2012 Moms
Roll call: where is everyone?!
We've been missing some October mamas. BLP? hailey? I know there's more who haven't been around much.
So. Let's roll call. Everyone say hi! And tell us about your kid/s, and something interesting. Doesn't have to be baby related.
K is 6 weeks tomorrow! That means my maternity leave is half over and i'm sad about that. She has grown so much in 6 weeks, I can't imagine how I'll feel when she's 12 weeks.
I'm done Christmas shopping and have been for weeks. I start early. Like January early. I'm always done by Halloween. Last year, we moved into a mew house in August and got married in Sept, so shopping wasn't high on my to do list. I panicked by halloween when I was only half done. I allowed muself an extention to Thanksgiving
)
Also. I just fell in the toilet bc the lid was up. My own fault. I bleached toilets today. At least my a$$ is clean now.

Re: Roll call: where is everyone?!
Charlie is 5 weeks 1 day. I can't believe he is so big, I still get weepy and teary thinking how fast it is going. The thought of leaving him in day care at week 12 sends me into hysterics.
Funny tidbit, we went to get his passport for our London trip in march, and I nearly peed myself laughing as they took his passport pic. DH was propping him up but had to hide out of the picture, even his arm. He was basically laying on the floor of CVS as people stared. Charlie's passport pic is such a closeup, and he's just staring at the camera so seriously, that he looks like a little hit man. So cute, ha!
Edited for typos. Stupid mobile bumping.
I'm here, trying not to lose my mind as LO goes through a growth spurt. Between the insane fussy spells and cluster feedings I want to send her back to the stork.
Today I went to the store to pick up some more ornaments for the tree and left the diaper bag at home. I didn't even realize it until I was on the way home. I win at this mom thing.
I've done the falling into the toilet, it's more surprising than painful lol
I'm considering going back to derby this week with a new team and I'm so nervous. I know when my old team hears about it I'll get flack.

My DS is FINALLY gaining weight now that his tongue tie has been fixed. We go in for a weight check on Wednesday and I am finally not worried about it. He has the best chubs starting on his thighs!
I'm on percacet again and more comfortable than I have been in two weeks,
Paul was conceived super bowl weekend. I get a kick out of that.
Zarah Om is 7 weeks...cant believe how much she's changed! Ive been looking back at newborn pics and cant believe my eyes. She is smiling, interacting, cooing, giggling...ITS AMAZING!
I go back to work on Thursday. Bittersweet, I think the balance will be good for me but I know I will miss this special time we've had together day in and day out. It just means I'll have to make my evenings and weekends with her even more special.
Hope all of you Oct mommies are doing well!
I finally ordered my announcements! And colored envelopes to send them in. I am so good for the economy.
Connor is 5 and a half weeks, currently doing his 6 week growth spurt. It's murder I tell ya. Aside from that, I'm so in love with him!

Hello there! LO is 6 weeks on thursday-- usually referred to as DS2, newborn, or E. I have a 2 year old little girl-- referred to as the toddler, DD1, or Z.
Im excited because LO took a bink today!
I'm here pumping away.
The boys turned 2 months on Thanksgiving. I can't believe how fast that went. Also don't believe I'm still breastfeeding. I was totally over it until last week, last week was when it started getting easier for me.DS1 started with social smiles yesterday! Now I have two sweet smiles to wake up to every morning. They probably won't be smiling on Wednesday though, they get their shots then.
Emery is 5.5 weeks. She's gained 2.5 lbs in the last month! So relieved because we had to watch it pretty closely in the beginning.
I must admit I've been pretty lazy about coming on here since the birth, especially with th FB page because it seems easier to use their mobile rather than TB.
DD will be 6 weeks on Thursday. I love that she has her nights days straight. At night, she wakes, eats and goes right back to sleep. She still wakes up sometimes right after I put her down if her reflux is acting up or she wants to be held. I figure she will grow out of it.
I have my pp visit tomorrow. I assume I will be cleared for sex, which will make DH happy. I'm more excited to be cleared to go in the hot tub!
Here!
I can't believe my baby is 7 weeks old and that after everything I'm still breastfeeding. Imalso just got her weighed and she is 11lbs 7oz already! After struggling to bring her weight up at the start, this is excellent news.
Also, I'm looking forward to DH and my first date after baby, even though it wont be until 12/17... He has to finish school stuff first.
Well, I'm new, but I'm here. DS is 8 weeks old today!
I start back at work next week. I'll be part time for a few weeks. They are pretty flexible about when I want to come back full time. I am very very nervous since it seems that we don't have any kind of schedule. He is usually up every 2.5 hours or so to nurse during the night (STILL). Sometimes he goes right back to sleep, sometime he doesn't. DH works swing shift, so he gets home in the middle of the night, and if he grabs the baby usually wants to hang out, which makes it even harder to find our groove. I don't want to deny him that time though. Ugh. We'll see how it goes.
On the upside, DS has started smiling all the time and cooing, which is just about the cutest thing I have ever witnessed. In my life. He is awesome.
Zoe is going to be six weeks old on Wednesday
DH and I had our first date night without the baby tonight - was really strange not having her around. We were supposed to go out for supper and then a movie, but we just headed home after supper and took a nap lol.
We have our first date night coming up this Friday. I'm super nervous to leave her with a sitter especially if she has a colic flare up that evening. But, I NEED to reconnect with my husband/best friend. I miss him. I miss us! She is the best thing to ever happen to us, but we've gotta have some alone time. I think it'll strengthen and refresh us. I can hardly wait! Although I know I'll prob try to back out from nerves that day or sob like a baby when we leave lol

Our older kids have fallen completely in love with her, even the boys, so I'm pretty sure she is going to be a spoiled little monster.
Kendall is 7 weeks today and I can't believe how fast maternity leave goes. I love my job, but will really struggle with leaving her.
Kendall really enjoys pushing off my lap with her legs. kind of freaks me out she is so strong already. She is also a snuggle bug and has learned that fussing gets her snuggle time. My husband says I broke her. I say I have 5 weeks left and am going to enjoy her.
I almost do all my shopping online and started xmas shopping this year on black Friday.
here still...
L is 10 weeks now, he has his 2 month shots tomorrow and I'm nervous. we might also get some answers as to if he has silent reflux or i just need to switch formula, he's been gassy and having little episodes lately as well as had phlegm problems since around week 4. He is smiling and laughing these days and I caught him trying to hold and bring his hanging toys from the playmat towards himself. SO CUTE!

Bryson is 5 weeks and 1 day. He tries to stand and grab his pacidier. I have yet to order birth announcement.
I don't want to go back to my role/company at all, so I am interviewing actively!
Maternity leave over mid Jan then Hubby will stay home for 2 mos.
Hattie June is our first and is six weeks and two days today. I think we are going through the six week growth spurt because she has been cluster feeding for like four hours in the morning and then all freaking evening from 3:30-11 when she finally passes out from exhaustion. It's killing me! Even though she gives me nearly six hours at night before waking up for food... I think I am more tired than when she only gave me 3-4.
I am finally biting the bullet and being productive today because I have been a total lazy bum basically since we got our BFP. DH finally made a comment about how much time I spend on the computer today so after Hattie finally seemed slightly disinterested in my nipples, I put her in the front carrier and did some dishes and laundry. Sigh. All I really want to do is stalk boards and play on facebook but I figure maybe he'll be a little happier when he gets home today now.
Also my MIL and SIL are coming Friday to meet Hattie June. Not really looking forward to seeing MIL but I get along really well with SIL. She offered to do our Christmas decorating for us while she here and I am fully taking advantage! DH is picking up our tree (he wanted us to go as a fam to cut it down but I said that Hattie would get too cold and wouldn't remember) and I will have all the boxes out and ready for her when she gets here.
Wow... I didn't really post anything interesting. Sorry haha.
Hey all! DD is going to be 1 month old on Saturday! Yippee! Wasn't sure I'd survive this long.
I left a bowl of milk from my cereal on the coffee table today. I dropped DH off at work, and came home to see the milk was all gone. Waiting for the diarrhea to hit the unsuspecting pooch. Kind of annoying though, because I just gave her a bath yesterday. (She has long butt fur that catches everything. It's lovely, really.)
I'm here, but mostly lurking since I'm bumping from the phone while feeding Bauer. Bauer is 7 weeks old and for the mostpart, is a good baby. We've been going through a growth spurt the past three weeks with lots of feedings and very little sleeping during the day. This routine is leaving me very little time to jump on the computer and so I end up reading posts, but never having two hands to respond!
I too can relate to many of you who are struggling with getting everything done. It seems like I can barely keep my house clean AND take care of Bauer all day. Is it just me or do the days seem to fly by!
I'm also struggling with the decision to return to work or not. Part of me feels I'll miss the adult interaction of my job, but the other part of me can't imagine someone else taking care of Bauer all day when I'm at work. Granted, I'm planning to return part time, but I'm definitely toying with the idea of becoming a SAHM.
Hi!
Emme will be 5 weeks tomorrow. How did that happen?!?!?
Something interesting... today was Emme's first snow fall. We got about 3 inches. And I finally got my smaller Boston Terrier's sweatshirt on her.
I have really enjoyed reading everyone's stories. Thanks for the late night laughs!!!
