I was just lurking on the November 2012 board and it made me think about what I was doing at this time last year. I had a 2-week old and was trying to figure out sleep routines and eating patterns and how to swaddle her right and why the F&*K she cried nonstop for 2 hours at a time... lol!! I also was still wearing all maternity clothes and felt like a huge whale!! What were you doing last year at this time?
I was lurking there the other day. Seems like we were just bringing home our LOs.
This time, last year, I had a 5 day old. I was struggling to bf and pump since DS had issues latching. We were starting to get out about by 5 days old.
Man, this year went by too fast, can we rewind?
This time last year DD was almost a month old, I had just decided to stop pumping because she still had high jaundice levels and she was almost sleeping through the night!
I had a 2 week old. I was griping about Thanksgiving because too many people got ahold of her and she was not a happy camper for a couple of days. I was loving hanging out with her at home, letting her sleep on me and generally being amazed.

Last year this time, I was like a zombie, living in the NICU by day and pumping every 3 hrs on the dot. The nice part was being chauffered everyday by my parents/husband.
I should have realized back then that it was just the beginning of LO being the boss of everything:)
DS was a month and a half. I feel like we were probably just settling into a good routine. I miss the tiny baby but ill be honest.. I'm not ready to go back to having a newborn!
I had a one week old and my husband had just gone out of town for a business trip. My mom stayed with me and I seriously missed my husband. It was nice though because I just kept DS in bed with me so that I could nurse throughout the night without getting up.
I feel like this time last year was a blur! I don't really remember much leading up to Christmas time.

I had a one week old. My husband had just gone back to work and I was freaking out about how I was going to do it all by myself, still having depression. But it worked out and I was able to adjust quite easily.
DD was about 2.5 weeks old. We were likely relaxing on the couch watching Tangled with DD1 (she started her obsession w/ Rapunzel while I was on mat. leave). My house was spotless and all decorated for Christmas. This year my house is a mess and I am trying to find time to decorate. I miss maternity leave!
Caitlin was almost a month old. She slept all the time! I have a 10 year journal and love it. It's so crazy to see what I was doing a year (and two years) ago every day. What a difference a year makes! It's even crazier to think about what we all will be doing next year!
Eagerly awaiting the arrival of our Rainbow Baby after 2 early m/c.
Around this time, I was crashing. No sleep. Hormonal. I was freaking the eff out. I got better by the 3rd week but holy hell was the first 2 weeks hard. I felt like I didn't even hold DD for pleasure until that third week, you know, besides BFing. One big snotty, crying mess I was this time last year.

This time last year DD was a little under 2 weeks old, I had just decided to give up on BFing since she was still losing weight and we were probably at the hospital doing a weight check to see how she was doing after being on formula for a few days. As stressful as dealing with all of our feeding issues was I miss it like crazy. It was SO easy back then.
