Re: Wednesday Sanity Check
What are his/her current stats? We weighed last week...just over 11 pounds
Any recent sleep breakthroughs? Not really. Usually an 8 hour stretch
Brag about your or LO's latest accomplishment. Rolling over!!!
What was the last thing you did just for you? ...I can't remember...sad face...
If you're back at work/school/whatever or will be soon, tell us about it. Ugh. I honestly don 't even want to talk about it right now. My boss is currently a mess and making work hellll.
Bonus: PIP your LO!
How old is your LO? What are his/her current stats? He turned 2 months old yesterday! I'm pretty sure he's over 13 pounds now, but we go to the pedi tomorrow so we'll find out for sure.
Any recent sleep breakthroughs? He pretty much only wakes once or twice at night so I can't complain!
Brag about your or LO's latest accomplishment. He is such a happy baby! DS1 was very fussy for his first 6 months so having a happy baby is wonderful!!!!
Any vents? Nope, just don't want to go back to work next Monday.
What was the last thing you did just for you? Hmm, I can't think of a thing.
If you're back at work/school/whatever or will be soon, tell us about it. I go back Monday, but have some professional development Saturday. I will be gone 6 hours and I am a nervous wreck about finding time to pump!

How old is your LO? What are his/her current stats?
He will be three months on Sunday. We had an appointment the first week of January and he was 12.6 lbs.
Any recent sleep breakthroughs?
I am not as lucky as some of you ladies. I am getting a solid 5 hours straight through, feeding, then another 4-5 hours. I can't wait to sleep the whole night!
Brag about your or LO's latest accomplishment.
He can totally hold his head at almost a 90 degree angle while on tummy time. He is a total rock star when it comes to neck control.
Any vents?
I am so over pumping. I hate doing it at work, and I hate cleaning...three more months...three more months.
What was the last thing you did just for you?
My sister bought me a massage for Christmas. Best.Gift.Ever.
If you're back at work/school/whatever or will be soon, tell us about it.
This is my first week back and the first day was awful. I was totally "that mom". Crying... the whole nine yards. Not only did I have to deal with leaving LO with someone who isn't me, I had three months of work waiting for me, and computer issues. Now that I have settled into my routine again it isn't so bad. If you can get through day one, it's fine.
Q&A: Do you have a question to ask the other mamas or need advice about something? Do you have an amazing tip to share with everyone else?
When did you put LO in his/her own room. I am totally struggling with the transition because he still gets up. Any sleep training advice?
Bonus: PIP yo
He'll be 3 months on Tuesday. He was 11.5 lbs and 23 inches at his 2month appointment.
Any recent sleep breakthroughs?
Not recent, but he's still sleeping through the night. When MIL watches him in the evenings, however, she completely disregards our sleep schedule for him. We end up not being able to spend time with him when we get off, and then he wakes up at 4 in the morning instead of 8. I could go on and on forever about her though
Brag about your or LO's latest accomplishment.
Umm he's rolling front to back now, is getting close to being able to sit and not wobble down, and he's just about got the hang of grabbing on his bouncer to turn on music. He's a pretty damn smart, easygoing, and cute baby. We're very lucky.
Any vents?
What was the last thing you did just for you?
I went shopping with a friend the other day while MIL watched Sean.
If you're back at work/school/whatever or will be soon, tell us about it.
Work has been HELL since I went back on New Years Eve. It's just one thing after another... Either getting no hours, being taken off the schedule, them majorly restricting me being able to pump at work, telling me to come in when I wasn't scheduled... So I'm looking for a new job! Two interviews down this week, two more to go!

Brag about your or LO's latest accomplishment.
her head control is getting so much better and she is close to rolling
Any vents?
she had her shots yesterday and was acting fine so I didn't give her Tylenol right away, came back to bite me in the bum she screamed in pain for 45 minutes while the Tylenol kicked in...I felt horrible
What was the last thing you did just for you?
Put some clothes in a cart online...still debating pulling the trigger
If you're back at work/school/whatever or will be soon, tell us about it.

swatting at toys and grabbing them

If you're back at work/school/whatever or will be soon, tell us about it.
Im going to talk to work on Friday about a part-time gig, pretty sure they are going to say no, I applied for a 12 hr/week job - hoping to get it!
Q&A: Do you have a question to ask the other mamas or need advice about something? Do you have an amazing tip to share with everyone else?
My LO started to get a couple of diaper rash spots and I put Aquafor on them for two days and they're gone
How old is your LO? What are his/her current stats? 12 weeks tomorrow. Not sure of her current stats, but she was 12lbs at her 2mo visit a few weeks ago.
Any recent sleep breakthroughs? The opposite actually, we're having a regression. She still has a nice long stretch when she first goes down (9ish to 1ish) but is now waking every hour or two to eat after that before being up for the day, when she used to only wake once more, twice tops.
Brag about your or LO's latest accomplishment. We borrowed a Bumbo over the weekend and she loves it! She's getting better at getting her hands into her mouth too, and is finally taking the paci here and there.
Any vents? Just the sleep thing. So tired.
What was the last thing you did just for you? I got nothin' this week.
If you're back at work/school/whatever or will be soon, tell us about it. I'm back in school again. I've got 2 classes this semester but only 1 that I need to show up for (the other is online). First class meeting was Monday night. It was nice being away from the kiddos, and the class is not long enough that I need to pump. Though I did need to after I got home since K was already asleep.

I give you...baby bedhead:
How old is your LO? What are his/her current stats? 9 weeks yesterday
Any recent sleep breakthroughs? 6 hours solid sleep the last two nights...he started daycare so he's a extra sleepy.
Brag about your or LO's latest accomplishment. Umm, O is awesome at everything he does, esp pooping. I think he found his thumb and when we lay him down he likes to roll onto his side and fall asleep.
Any vents? I have a 50 min commute to work and yesterday I cried 5x while driving it to and from. I left the house at 5:30 am and got home at 6:20 pm. We live in between my office and DH's. He has a 35 min drive but he is also in charge of dropping off and picking up our older two boys. Ugh, it is awful and I only started back at work this Monday!!! Already I'm wore out! OMG, also, MH packed all my bags yesterday morning but forgot the breastmilk!!! Not blaming him bc I didn't check it either, but that was the beginning of my AWFUL day! I turned around and met MH half way and together, we saved the world from meltdown.
If you're back at work/school/whatever or will be soon, tell us about it. Pumping is going great at work...only been teased a few times (work with males). Luckily I have my own office and fridge and everyone knows to leave me alone at 8, 11, & 2. Work itself is great; things didn't fall apart when I was gone, hooray!!! I hope to start a 9-week running program tomorrow so that's new. Woot woot! Got my PT test in May so I gotta get prepared!!! (I'm military)
Q&A: Do you have a question to ask the other mamas or need advice about something? Do you have an amazing tip to share with everyone else? Pumpers: freeze your breastmilk in the bags but lay them flat...they thaw faster. For DC: I ordered bottle labels (plastic wrap around ones) and they FINALLY shipped two weeks after I placed the order...just beware of this if you order from inchbug.
Pictures are from his first day of daycare, this past Monday. I was totally faking that smile. I cried on my way to work.

N is very social and loves to smile and talk. Everyone at the doctor commented on it today.
Any vents?
Not really we are getting a pretty good routine down the days.
What was the last thing you did just for you?
Manicure last week. Going to dinner with a friend this weekend and we are both leaving babies at home.
If you're back at work/school/whatever or will be soon, tell us about it.
Been back to work for almost a month. It is what it is. I'd rather be home but I like my job and we need my income.
No picture right now as I'm mobile.
