Re: S/O Roll Call, GTKY Birthday Edition
When was your original Due Date? January 27th (if she takes after me this will be the only time in her life she arrives early to the party, haha!)
Are you having/did you have a 1st Birthday party? Yes, but I really have been slacking on planning. I need to get on that ASAP.
What was the theme? DD is obsessed with dogs, especially are dachshunds so it will be dog/dachshund themed, but pink and frilly too so it's still girly
What was the best moment in your LO's first year? So many, hearing her laugh for the first time, watching her and DH together, getting to experience the holidays together, but I think my favorite moments have always been when she falls asleep on me (which is rare these days) and just admiring what a miracle she is.
What was the hardest moment? The first four weeks of her life were rough. She didn't sleep, we didn't sleep, she nursed constantly and I was just so anxious/overwhelmed and I think that stress was bad for both of us. But luckily it passed quickly.
What are you most looking forward to in year two? All her continued development--can't wait to see her walking, talking more, interacting with other kids and just becoming a little person.
When was your original Due Date? January 11th
Are you having/did you have a 1st Birthday party? Yes, it's on Saturday.
What was the theme? Winter Onederland
What was the best moment in your LO's first year? So many but I love to see her laugh and give kisses and hugs.
What was the hardest moment? The first week dealing with Jaundice, losing weight, my milk not coming in, and whatnot.
What are you most looking forward to in year two? All her continued development and seeing her with LO#2.
When was your original Due Date? January 14th
Are you having/did you have a 1st Birthday party? Yes, on the 11th
What was the theme? Winter ONEderland with pink, silver, white and snowflakes
What was the best moment in your LO's first year? It is so hard to pick just one. Probably all of the firsts, smiles,laughs, rolling over, crawling, learning to communicate, etc...
What was the hardest moment? There have been a lot. DD has really struggled with gaining weight so dealing with that and the weekly occupational therapy for 3.5 months was a big challenge. Also dealing with her hip dysplasia and intense separation anxiety.
What are you most looking forward to in year two? I am excited to watch her personality develop even more than it already has.

What was the hardest moment? having formula shoved in my face when he was 5 days old and being told that my baby was "starving." We tried the formula and he hated it. The breastfeeding clicked soon after that and I just weaned him off the breast a few weeks ago.

It's hard to pick. All the firsts. And now that he is starting to talk.

All the talking!
January 1st
When was your original Due Date?
January 9th
Are you having/did you have a 1st Birthday party?
I did.
What was the theme?
I set up some snowflakes on my ceiling for Winter Onederland, but after hosting Christmas Eve and my own birthday I jumped at my mom's offer to host today's party so no theme, just family, food, and presents.
What was the best moment in your LO's first year?
Too many great moments. Every morning he wakes up happy and giggly. Pretty much every time I can get him to laugh...and the snuggles too.
What was the hardest moment?
When he was burned by the silver nitrate at his two month appointment and we had to take him to the ER and hold him down for a blood draw.
What are you most looking forward to in year two?
Having baby #2 and watching them grow up together. I bet John will be a wonderful big brother!
When was your original Due Date? Jan 3
Are you having/did you have a 1st Birthday party? Yes, she hated it. Cried the entire time, refused to eat cake then slept for 18 of the next 24 hours.
What was the theme? Cupcakes
What was the best moment in your LO's first year? Everything she does! At each age I think this is the best age! Then she does something new and I think no THIS is the best!
What was the hardest moment? Breastfeeding in the beginning
What are you most looking forward to in year two? I love her understanding of her world. She's starting to really interact with her toys, and with us, I love seeing things "click" for her.
When was your original Due Date? January 10th
Are you having/did you have a 1st Birthday party? We had two parties (not my choice, wanted to accommodate DS's out of town aunts/uncles)
What was the theme? We did a zoo theme for DH's family and a baseball theme for my family. And when I say theme I mean the cake detail, coordinating colors of plates, napkins and balloons, theme party hats. We didn't go too crazy with decorations.
What was the best moment in your LO's first year? There is no way I can pick one, I clearly remember most of his big milestones, him saying Dada and Mama, rolling over, crawling, standing and now walking. I also remember the first time he started to smile, give kisses and hugs. So many great ones!
What was the hardest moment? When he is sick, he was sick with a high fever 103-104 for about six days, it was so hard to see him feel so bad and to give him Tylenol/Motrin every 3 hours to keep the fever down.
What are you most looking forward to in year two? Him walking better and talking more. He already says so many things but I'm excited for more! Spring and summer will be fun because we can play outside and run around! So exciting!

Are you having/did you have a 1st Birthday party? We are! It's on the 19th. I just finished addressing the invitations. It's just family.
What was the theme? Hm.. yea I haven't decided yet... I need to get on that.
What was the best moment in your LO's first year? most of it! I love his little laugh and the way he climbs on me when I get home from work. My favorite part of the day is coming home and seeing him beaming at me.
What was the hardest moment? Getting mastitis a week or so after he was born. Dealing with that while taking care of a newborn was a nightmare. The night after his 3 months shots was pretty terrible too. We ended up in the hospital and he had to have two blood draws. It was awful.
What are you most looking forward to in year two? I can't wait for him to start talking more.

What was the best moment in your LO's first year?
It is so hard to pick the single best moment but in general LO seemed to enjoy life much more once she could sit up on her own. That's when she started to get really playful.
What was the hardest moment?
The first 6 months were quite hard because LO was a touchy baby for sure. She pretty much took every nap on my body until about 6-7 months old. What was I thinking??? We had many hours of snuggling time but I really love her independent nap time now.
