    My mom just asked if I would show off "our" baby to her friend that is stopping by. 1. MY baby. 2. You are asking me this as I am nursing him, which I will not stop doing for someone I don't even know :P

    My mom does this and it drives me crazy. "How's my baby?" I want to be like, "well MY baby is fine". But I don't want to be a bitch.
    The creepiest thing my mom says is how's my boyfriend? I've replied several times that he's her grandson and that's weird.

  • Isabel had a follow-up appointment with her pediatrician today because they noted after her birth that she had some facial markers of downs syndrome. Now, with all her post-delivery swelling gone down, the pediatrician checked her out again and confirmed that the facial markers are within normal variation. Such a relief! 

    He did find a click in her hip that he's sending us for an ultrasound to check out, but it seems minor in comparison.  
    I often scan baby hips, they're almost always normal!  Just a tip, usually they tell you to have the scan done between 4 to 6 weeks... try to wait as long as possible!!!  We get so irritated when a 4 week old baby comes in, because their hips are still shallow at that point.  You then get dragged back for another U/S at 6+ weeks, which nearly always ends up being normal.

  • @KrystaJ‌ B sweats SO much! his back and the back of his head and neck are always wet, especially after being in the car seat. it's hot outside and maybe LO is just hot natured on top of it. I wouldn't worry too much about it :)
  • @ElTrain5‌ C has only just started repeating things on her own (as in, I didn't ask her to) at 26 months. I have a really hard time watching my mouth, so I intend to teach her that they are adult words only. We'll see how well that works in practice.

  • Last night I fed DD around 11:30, then pumped so both boobs were super empty and then DH slept in living room with DD again so I could sleep in the bedroom. 6 and a half hours of straight sleep...I feel life super woman!

    When I sent DH off to bed after I got up, I asked if he slept okay and he said not really. So I asked if she was fussy and he said "not too bad, I just had to get up with her twice and it took like 45 min each time to change her, feed her, then burp her... It sucked." I laughed and was like "yeah, that's actually a good night if it only took 45 min each time... Welcome to my world"
  • What do you consider to be a month for monthly photos? Every 4 weeks? Or are you going by dates (born on the 18th so the 18th of every month?) He will.be 4 weeks tomorrow and I was going to take his 1 mo photo but realized counting that way might confuse me later.

     

    IF, 5 losses, 1 son, 1 on the way.

    The date. The only month that is four weeks long anyway is February :)

    I consider it the actual date, but I don't want to worry about taking his picture on a Wednesday night after a long day of work.  We're going to take his picture either the weekend before or after, which ever is closer to the actual date.

  • Dh worked from home today so he could watch C while I had a dentist appt. He came down to check on us because he could hear two crying kids and I was yelling at C because she scratched charlie pretty good...so he took C upstairs so I could get a break. Love.

    Hmmm... Thanks for the info! My doctor wants to get me in this week, and Isabel is only 3 weeks today. He made it sounds like the earlier the better? But, the ultrasound clinic has yet to call me for an appointment, so maybe they're putting it off.

  • sorry to hear that @nelleebelle‌ big hugs!
  • @sempre_staccato that's interesting, well every place is different! I still hate scanning them before 6 weeks though lol.

    @nelleebelle I'm sorry to hear what you'll have to do! I take insulin before every meal, and while I'm fine with it now, I did use to worry about what other people thought. My health is more important than other people's opinions though. You both will do great, good luck!

    @nelleebelle‌ I hope everything turns out ok..

    My random awesome...my 9 y.o. step son showing his sister so much love. He and my (3) step daughters have done such a 180 to the jealousy they were having pre baby and things like this just melt my heart. @babygabe614‌ how are things going with the fam? I know you had a smilar situation working...

  • My AW is that DS moved from the 1st percentile to the 7th in weight. I realize that it still means he is smaller than 93 percent of babies his age but I think the progress is awesome

    that is amazing progress! I'm so happy for him!
  • Hugs @nelleebelle‌. Also, give the special needs board a shot if you're interested.
  • @ktcort13‌ DD is just over 3 weeks old and last night DH and I were getting her ready for bed, and were both standing next to the changing table. She looked up at us and smiled a huge smile and let out a very content sound. It was the cutest thing ever and I don't care if she knew what she was doing or not

    @JulieSmiles That sounds like a great gain to me. My book says normal is anywhere from 2/3 to 1 ounce a day @stephross88 That is awesome, hopefully you can finish weight checks soon. I always found them so stressful Thanks for the well wishes. I keep reminding myself that DS#1 was also a late pre-termer and slowly but surely climbed his way up to 38th in weight and 65th in height at his 3 year visit but it is nice to see the improvement sooner rather than later this time around.
