Re: Grad check in!!!
Is you LO boy/girl? Do you want to share their name? I had a boy, and his name is Antonin Christopher.
What is life with your new LO like? I absolutely adore having a new baby. He is so sweet, and I love snuggling and nursing him and watching him grow. Taking him out in public is a ball... it's like having a puppy. Everyone wants to talk to you about your new baby! We have had a few ups and downs. He failed his hearing test at the hospital, so we were a bit concerned about that, but a visit to an audiologist confirmed that his hearing is perfect in both ears. He has also had some issues with diaper rash, which I was not expecting with such a young baby, but that seems to have cleared up for the time being. He is also gaining weight like crazy-- he has gained over 5 pounds in 6 weeks! He is a chunk!
what is the best part of having your LO in your arms? The fact that he is related to me and my husband and my children is the most wonderful feeling. He is our missing link. The day we brought him home from the hospital was the best day of my life.
words of wisdom for the "undergrads"? Expect the unexpected and be flexible. I think that pretty much sums up parenting?
This is the photo we used for our birth announcement.

Is you LO boy/girl? Do you want to share their name? - little boy #2 Levi Hawk
What is life with your new LO like? Life is busy! DS#1 came home with cold after a few days of being home with Levi then DH got it. I had to disinfect like a fiend and keep Levi quarantined. Then DS got sick two weeks after that with a virus and back to square one. It's been very busy and stressful but everyone is healthy now.
what is the best part of having your LO in your arms? - my little guy is so delicious and has been cooing and smiling at us for a couple weeks now. That's my favorite and pretty surprising considering DS #1 didn't start "talking" until 2 months.
words of wisdom for the "undergrads"? - Don't stress the small stuff. Sadly, once again I am not producing enough milk for this little one and have to supplement with formula but I refused to be devastated like I was with DS#1. Still pumping but only getting about half of what he eats daily. Every drop counts though right? Roll with the punches ladies and just know your plans may not pan out as expected and that's ok!
I miss you ladies!!!!! What about a Facebook group? Bumping isn't as easy after baby. Our BMB just started one and it's soooo much easier.
What a cutie pie and little chunker @mthoomom
Here is a shot from our newborn shoot. Haven't received the proofs yet but our Photog posted this on her snapchat. This shot is a iPhone pic of the back of her camera. I cannot wait to see the remaining pics.
I love the idea of doing a Facebook group. I was already doubting that I'd keep up with the Bump after the baby comes. I was thinking about friending people on FB.
I haven't been to Orange Theory in almost two weeks. I've had so many legitimate excuses, but the guilt is still killing me. I think I'm going to freeze my membership on June 20th, 6 weeks before my due date. --You look great, by the way. Love the family photo!

I got off facebook 3 months ago and I have been loving not having it in my life, but I'll get back on or make an alter ego FB for you ladies
All the light and love for things getting easier and for the whole family staying healthy!
Sorry to hear about the reflux, but I absolutely agree with your "roll with it" attitude! I absolutely plan to be more flexible and more adaptable this time around. Baby will sleep when baby sleeps, etc. I wish I hadn't spent so much time sweating every little decision the first time around!
also good with a FB group. Not sure I'll do one with my BMB, but with you all--yes.
Yay for a Facebook! Who is willing to be the admin? Unfortunately once I go back to work my bumping will be nearly non existent and the site is blocked at work.
Thanks @Sporty1216 and @createillumination
currently sitting at the hospital waiting to be called for his test. And yes, you need to book Photog ASAP! We booked ours 4-5 months out without an issue.
And I PMed you @Sporty1216
ETA: if anyone has actually done this before, feel free to jump in! I have no investment in admin-ing!
