Today was DS one month check up, his pedi couldn't believe how big he got off just breastmilk.

I feel like i have a giant baby, or some kind of magic milk :-/

I cannot wait for mine to be a total Stay Puft chubbo. I mean, I want his arms to eat his elbows, more rolls than a bakery, his knees to have multiple caps and to have more chins than a chinese phonebook.

What a cutie! I'm sure he will start to soon

My DS was 7lb 11oz at birth and although everyone thought that was huge for me (ive always been pretty tiny pre preg. 5'2" 102lbs) he looked so little and skinny now a month later hes 11lbs 9oz! And he grew 2" he has super chubby thighs huge cheeks and he even has little chubby boobs that we laugh at, i love it its so cute. Ill have to post a pic when i have a minute to hop on my computer

In the hospital as a skinny little guy at a day old Vs. yesterday chillin on the couch with me at a month old, and an extra that was about 2 weeks or so.

Can't believe how big he's getting

kenziebug22 · August 2014

@litera‌ thanks

i think im still in shock that he gained that much so fast lol. We first noticed his baby moobs when my mom thought his shirt was bunched up and went to smooth it out and then she bust out laughing when she felt it, freakin hilarious!

@litera OMG dying over how cute he is in his stay puff marshmallow man onsie!!!

I'm glad I didn't listen to those that told me newborn clothes were a waste of money. Alice is five weeks old today and still in newborn outfits!

emeek · August 2014

I participated in a pap study today at the OB during my 6 week check up. They paid me 40 bucks and If they call me for the next round I get another 100. And I got free birth control samples.

Winning at the OB?

cookiemomma14 · August 2014

LO has been asleep for 2 hours and I'm contemplating waking him just so he will sleep good tonight...momma problems

cookiemomma14 · August 2014

Nvm. He woke and was ready to eat. Whew! 3:-O

lindslalala · August 2014

Getting both kids to nap at the same time makes me feel like a goddamn superhero.

[Deleted User] · August 2014

I'm so jealous of you STMs whose older LO still naps.

I had my first ever pap smear today at a slightly delayed 6 week check up. It didn't hurt, I actually didn't really feel much at all.

Not sure if the majority of women are wusses or if my midwife is a wizard...probably she's a wizard.

She said midwives tend to be better at doing them so I'm all for making it a thing MWs do instead of doctors.

Really? You've never had one before? Not even after you found out you were pregnant? I thought that was standard practice.

darkangel42 · August 2014

In the UK, you get them once you turn 25 or after a pregnancy if you're younger. I only turned 25 last year while pregnant (moved to the US in January) and they can't do it during pregnancy so it had to wait until after delivery. I guess it was just a series of odd timings that delayed it.

I did get a letter about it before but was pregnant at the time then too so couldn't take the appointment.

littlemissmarla · August 2014

FML a little part if my csection incision is bleeding! It was already cauterized last week, why won't this shit heal!

Csltdk · August 2014

We had our first emergency room visit tonight. For some reason tonight lo was in her bassinet and she make this weird noise and was acting strange so I picked her up and she started making this choking noise and started turning purple like she couldn't breathe, I had her upside down and whacked her back still nothing so I stuck my finger down her throat and just grabbed a lot of saliva with it and she was back to normal color breathing fine and smacking her lips for food. 911 was already called (from panic attack) and they brought her in just to make sure and she was fine all tests came back great they couldn't explain anything ( even if she was choking she breathes through her nose?) So now I'm going to be a zombie an stare at her sleeping- when will I ever be able to sleep again? I am a hot nervous wreck. And yes I was in the hospital with slippers no bra and pimple cream on. Fuck tonight

kenziebug22 · August 2014

@Csltdk‌ so sorry you had to go through that! Hope everything continues to stay ok, always better to have something like that checked even if you think you just panicked, you had a hell of a reason to!

honeybee434 · August 2014

@Csltdk‌ So glad your LO is okay! I can't even imagine! I would definitely be sleepless, too. Hope your nerves are able to calm a little!

Mamanorris81 · August 2014

@Csltdk‌ this same thing happened to ds1. Making that 911 call was the scariest thing I have ever done. I'm so sorry you went through this. Who knew they could choke on spit?!? Sending hugs!

mrscurlygurl · August 2014

@Csltdk‌, so sorry you had to go through that. Hope LO doesn't give yj any more scares like that.

I bought a cheap maxi dress from the grocery store
1) because it was five dollars
2) now I can look like Brobee from Yo Gabba Gabba

(Uh, sorry it's upside down)

littlemissmarla · August 2014

@csltdk oh my gosh! So scary but I'm so glad everything is ok!

SuperTinkerham · August 2014

I took milo up to work to show him off. All he did was scream, so I fed him in my office for over an hour and finally gave up and left because he was so disruptive. I miss work really bad.

darkangel42 · August 2014

@Csltdk‌ You poor thing! Glad he's ok, even though you're all nerves now

kenziebug22 · August 2014

First official smile happened this morning, my heart is happy :x

Omg that is awesome.

It looks like there might be a hurricane potentially forming in the gulf next week. Ugh. During ike we had $30,000 damage and the house got hit by a mini tornado. I don't want to be home alone with a newborn during a hurricane, mister is mandatory first responder for our transit system and has to go to work during events like that. I know I'm fretting in advance, and it might not even hit Houston.

Would you have enough advance notice to head inland if needed?

Yes. I could go to ILs (I had to stay there for 2 weeks last time bc we had no electricity). I would be freaking out about my cats the whole time alone.

cookiemomma14 · August 2014

So happy to read about all the other projectile vomiting, diaper explosions, scream fests and totally awful days. Because that is exactly what we are having. I hate when people ask, "oh does he sleep all night? Is he a 'good baby' for you?" Just stahpppp.

TexasGirl81 · August 2014

@Csltdk‌
I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I'm glad everyone is well.

nolemomma14 · August 2014

Almost every store is putting out fall clothes. While it is all super cute, this is FL and we won't even begin to see fall temperatures until October, if we're lucky! I need a bathing suit for LO, not jackets!

TexasGirl81 · August 2014

Just learned that the house we are leasing is going into foreclosure in two weeks. I mistakingly got kicked off of my insurance, and my docs office just called and said when see then on Tue we owe just over $1,500.

This is all a bad joke right?!

Thanks ladies- just got back from her pedi and he's sure she has silent reflux so we switched her formula and she's on Zantac. Poor baby and I had no idea

alyss0nl · August 2014

So I ran an errand with the boys, which went well. I brought ds2 in the house first. Well, I didn't realize our backyard door was open and when I went to close the door to get ds1 so our crazy dog wouldn't run out, the door slammed due to a crossbreeze, and door knob got stuck. Oh and my phone and keys were inside where the baby was screaming, the dogs were barking, and I was panicking on the other side. Went to the neighbors house to use her phone to call my mom to come unlock my door, and of course no answer. Thankfully my neighbor was able to open the door. Crisis averted.

DS was on Zantac for months but outgrew his reflux. Life was so much better after he started his meds. Here's hoping your little lady gets some relief!

I really hope it helps her- I feel like a shit parent I had no idea

So glad you were able to figure out the problem. I know that had to be scary. Glad you have gotten answers.

NBR/AW buuuut I just need to share somethjng exciting because I am so happy right now...

I got a new job! I got my DREAM JOB. I'm a college student, and will be for a while as I'm going for social work and need my masters as soon as I finally finish my bachelors. I've only had entry level type jobs because they've allowed me the flexibility to be a full time student, but I just got a great job with the county working at the Children's Crisis Center. I'll be working along side social workers, going on calls, supervising visits, and helping to care for the kids in the home facility they have. They even told me they're looking to promote me continually as my education progresses, and that I can intern and possibly stay on as a social worker for them when I am finally finished.

It pays significantly more than my last job and has even more flexibility and wiggle room and hours to offer me. Though I've loved my 3 years working for Starbucks, I'm really excited for what this job means for my future and the financial future for our family. Not making minimum wage (or barely above it) anymore will be such a turnaround and may lead to us being able to afford a down payment on a house soon.

I was originally hoping to not return to work, but we decided it would be a smarter move financially. It's also a little sooner than I wanted to go back to work, but I can not pass up an opportunity to start my career in a sense. I'm gonna miss my little so much but I am glad that since I do have to return to work, it will be to do something meaningful and rewarding and not to just sling white mochas anymore. I don't think I could bear leaving my baby to such unimportant work in the grand scheme of things.

Sorry for the bunni-esque post, I am just really happy
