I know it's bitter-sweet to be passing into a new month! (Been there done that) but congrats on all the soon to be April babes!! They were just waiting for their new birthstone! DIAMONDS! Talk about some great mama jewelry stay strong mamas! So so close!
Gonna try and take some one month pics here today. Hopefully before we poop or puke on our church dress! Hah Someone gave us the little stickers with months again for DD2--they're cute when they're itty bitty, but don't work too well once they can take them off!! I love the grow with me blankets I've seen! Wish I'd gotten one.
Anyone else have cool ideas/plans/props for documenting babies first year??
@kjd291 Yay! 1 month! It seemed to fly by so fast, despite now being awake for an average of 19-20 hours a day. It'd be cool if there were 2 more of us; then everyone could call us the 3-2-1-7 group. Haha, get it? Because that's our LOs' birthdays and there would be 7 of us! (Being up 19-20 hours a day apparently doesn't make me much wittier.)
It's funny you bring up the numbers @dubcompanion bc I was thrilled with her birthday since 3x2+1=7 .. and that was before sleep deprivation haha heres my 1 months in her 3 month outfit .. seems like I won't get to use her 3 month size shorts unles the weather starts feeling quite generous
Well wish me luck guys. Just dropped DH off for his 2 week clinic to help with ptsd and tbi. If you're the praying type, any thoughts or prayers that his treatment helps him to overcome what he has been through would be greatly appreciated.

Absolutely! Prayers for him! And for you as you do this two weeks solo mama!!

1 month went by crazy fast!!! I am making a baby scrapbook with the usual things: you know, a page for sonogram pictures, footprints from the hospital, etc. But I'm making it functional too! 1 page has an I going list of visitors and presents (helpful for thankful notes). Another two pages have growth charts that I mark after every appt for the next year or so. A third page I listed a bunch of milestones (ex: first smile) and will fill in as I go. The scrapbook is binder like so I can add a page with pictures/documents/letters any time something strikes me.

Good luck to both your DH and yourself!!
I'm having the opposite clothing problems. I have tons of cold weather 3 month clothes and probably can't use them all since were still rocking nb size!
@longliveregina thank you! And I feel like having a baby this time of year, although great, is probably the hardest time to prepare and predict what kind of clothes you need for baby and in what size! I drove myself nuts trying to prepare and I still got it wrong haha
Yay one month! Thanks @kjd291! I'm just doing the same thing I did with my daughter, picture in the rocker next to a stuffed animal. I then put them all in order in a scrapbook so you can see the difference each month! Here is Liam's 1 month from yesterday He is already so much bigger than my DD was at this age!
@Ivorytower2 LOVE the show. It's my replacement for "Parenthood".. also amazing if you've never watched.
