  Molly is 4 months on the 10th, and we've got another round of shots coming up [:(]

  We started DC last week, and so far, not so good.   Hopefully this week will be better.  We're also at the point where we finally need to break swaddle.  She's just starting to show signs of rolling over.  Hasn't been a big fan of tummy time until recently. 

  QOTW - nothing special for labor day.  Just enjoying mommy-daughter time. 

  She was STTN great until we started to break her swaddle.  Last night was better so I think she'll be back to it soon.

  Any updates, appointments coming up, or milestones that you'd like to share for you or your LO(s)? DS turns 4 months on the 9th and his 4 month check-up is that evening. He is a chatty little guy and is always smiling and giggling! He reaches and grabs toys (and anything else) within his reach & puts them straight to his mouth. DS drools like crazy but no other signs of teething. He doesn't mind tummy time and holds his head up and enjoys looking around. LO rolls to his side but not yet all the way over. My first day back to work was Friday. ( Leaving DS was so hard!!! He starts DC tomorrow and I know that is going to be 1000 x harder. I'm dreading tomorrow ( QOTW – Doing anything special for Labor Day? How is sleep going for you LO(s)? Yesterday, I hung out with DH & DS and ran some errands. ***KNOCKS ON WOOD*** DS is a great sleeper and sleeps through the night. Naps are hit and miss. I thought he was going through the 4 month wakeful last week since he wouldn't nap and was so hard to get down plus he woke up a few nights in the MOTN but I'm not sure. He's back to STTN but naps are still a mess. ETA: formatting - stupid iPad

  @Gregermis - DC gets better! I promise. J struggled, too, but she's much better now after a few weeks. I was a wreck about her struggling... {{hugs}}

  
  Thanks lady, I can only hope.  We've done 3 days and each progressively worse.  DH is going to just go hang out with her and not bother leaving at all tomorrow.

  Going back to work was definitely difficult!  Fx DC goes better for you than it did for us!!

  Updates: K is doing wonderful! Her next appt isn't for another couple of weeks when she is 4 mo. She rolls from tummy to back a couple times a day but hasn't rolled from back to tummy yet. She has laughed a handful of times but she is still a pretty quiet baby. She eats a lot and most days will eat 28 to 34 oz. Tomorrow I'm getting my first colonoscopy to rule out cancer because of some recurring symptoms I've had. If you have any extra T&Ps I would love some good vibes. I'm confident it will be ok but my mind still wanders to the dark side. QOTW: we spent Labor Day at my parents cabin. It was so nice to get away and relax. K is sleeping great! Anywhere from 10 to 11 hours with a couple wake ups just for her binky to be plugged. But we are going to have to ditch the swaddle soon so I don't look forward to that transition at all.

  Tons of T&Ps you get good news on your colonoscopy!!  ((hugs)) lady!!

  Hi everyone!
  
  Gregermis...hang in there. The DC transition is SO hard. We're on week 4 and every week seems to be something new to work on, but we're getting there and the girls that work there have great patience.
  
  DD is growing so much. We are in such awe of her. She is talking up a storm, grabbing her toys and wants to sit and stand all day long. She's not yet rolling over, but getting really really close. She's so excited to talk that she's sometimes not interested in her bottle. It's hard to get frustrated though because she spits out her bottle and starts laughing and talking. So in love with her.
  
  QOTW...went to a BBQ for Labor Day. DD cried a bit because it was during her naptime. Which brings me to the second qotw, the girl likes her sleep. She does 11-12 hours at night, 2-3 short naps and one 2-3 hour nap during the day.

  3 ectopic pregnancies (EDD's 1/30/12-tube removed, 6/2/12-methotrexate and 10/2/12-methotrexate)

  IVF and Natural FET resulted in BFN's and a hole in our wallets

  Natural BFP #4 on 9/7/12 gave us our miracle on 5/18/13

  Hi Ladies! I am a little late in the game. DS is overall doing great! He is such an amazing baby, he is so good! He is a laugher, always smiling, he has rolled onto his back a few times, he likes grabbing his little toys. He loves smiling at his brothers. The only thing now is I started work and he has been having a few issues with reverse cycling. He is BFing more and more at night and barely BFing in the mornings. He has had a rough time taking a bottle as well. Hoping this phase passes soon!

  
  

  Labor day: Nothing special. We went shopping for some  clothes for the kids that we needed for a wedding next weekend.

  I hope he starts taking bottles soon!  I've figured out how to snooze fairly safe while DD dream feeds at night.  It's been very helpful with the extra up time working on transitioning out of swaddle

  Hey ladies!!! I hope you all had a great labor day!
  
  Any updates, appointments coming up, or milestones that you'd like to share for you or your LO(s)?
  D's next appointment is the 27th of September, it's her 4 month appointment and comes with more shots! D can hold herself up with help, has doubled her birth weight, is starting to teethe, she has been mitten free for over a week, and the biggest thing she is sleeping 9 hours over night!
  
  QOTW – Doing anything special for Labor Day?  How is sleep going for you LO(s)?
  Sorry I am late, DH worked all Labor day weekend so we are doing stuff this weekend instead! Going to an antique show tomorrow. Sleep is going great.
