Re: Tuesday Ticker Change 5.23
How many weeks old is baby? 2 weeks and 2 days
Any medical appointments/updates for baby or mom this week? Had his 2 week check up yesterday. Rowan had passed up his birth weight (Yaye!) and grew 2.5 inches! He's in the upper 90th percentile for height and head circumference, just like his big brother was/is.
Questions, concerns, updates, etc. concerning feeding/weight gain? Just pumping away. Got a small stash going on.
Questions, concerns, updates, etc. concerning sleeping or other symptoms for both baby & mom? He's starting to have more "awake" time which is fun/exciting/exhausting. But now, starting tummy time other than just on my chest.
Rants/raves/questions? Wish we didn't have to rely on Daniel Tiger and Sesame Street so much for our toddler. We rotate with outside time, playroom, drawing/coloring, story time... he's 21 months old... But the TV is on waaaaay more than we are used to. I feel bad but don't know how else to get through the day.
GTKY: Are you remembering to make YOU time? If so, what do you do for you? I remember but don't have the luxury to really do what I want, which is a mani and pedi, facial, and eyebrow threading. But, for now, I make sure to get in a piece of dark chocolate to satisfy my sweet tooth and watch some of my shows when both DS's are napping or MH has DS1.

How big is baby? Very Large
Any appointments this week? One today. Being induced Thursday morning so she has a day and a half to come on her own.
Symptoms? Just tired, sore peeing the usual
Rants/Raves/Questions? The end is near! Kind of excited for her to have a birthday so close to Memorial Day. Means she will always have a long weekend to celebrate
Progress made or plans for baby preparation? Two days
GTKY: Are you remembering to make YOU time? If so, what do you do for you? I don't do too much so I guess so
@mrsrep123 congrats on Rowan gaining weight!

Any medical appointments/updates for baby or mom this week? Not unless I make one to have her congestion checked out
Questions, concerns, updates, etc. concerning feeding/weight gain? We've been having some pretty EPIC spit-ups, and it makes me worry that I am feeding her too often/too long. This happened with DS too, and I got 'gun-shy' and would only feed him on one side each time. That was the beginning of my supply issues, so I hope we aren't about to start on that downward spiral this time around!
Questions, concerns, updates, etc. concerning sleeping or other symptoms for both baby & mom? We're doing OK with sleep. She usually eats 3x/night and goes right back to sleep 2 of those times. The other time, she is bright eyed and bushy tailed and awake for about an hour and a half.
Rants/raves/questions? RAVE: Our Church set up a meal calendar for us, and I cannot BELIEVE how much food we have received. I didn't think there would be much since we live about 40 minutes from Church (and most of the people who attend), but they have SHOWED UP in a big way. It's been a huge help, and it's so sweet to have their support.
GTKY: Are you remembering to make YOU time? If so, what do you do for you? Does it count if I took the baby to Target while Dad pushed the big one around the neighborhood?
@mrsrep123 - HOORAY for weight gain! That can be so stressful, and it's nice to not have to worry about it. Eyebrow threading - YEEE-OUCH! I've had it done once, and I'll take waxing ANY day!
@SWE2 - It's so exciting to be that close to the end! Fx everything goes quickly Thursday (or before!).
@SWE2 So close!! She will be here soon
@emilyalso Louis is congested sounding too. The pedi thinks he has reflux and that it has to do with that. DS1 never had that so I have basically zero knowledge about it.
How many weeks old is baby? 2 weeks 3 days
Any medical appointments/updates for baby or mom this week? Had his 2 week check up yesterday and he was over birth weight!! Because of the weight gain issues I had with DS1 I am still very nervous though.
Questions, concerns, updates, etc. concerning feeding/weight gain? I cannot confirm but I feel like I am suddenly not making as much milk. I think I need to drink more water and probably worry less.
Questions, concerns, updates, etc. concerning sleeping or other symptoms for both baby & mom? Sleep is hard, but not as bad as I remember it with DS1. Also we are currently trying to get DS1 moved to a big boy bed because we are crazy.
Rants/raves/questions?
GTKY: Are you remembering to make YOU time? If so, what do you do for you? I think so. I shower every morning and do my hair and make up at some point during the day and have went out without kids with my mom for a couple hours.

@SWE2 you're so close!
@emilyalso that's so awesome of the people in your church. Sounds like you'll be eating well for a while!
@Louise_Belcher I'm so glad you're seeing the weight gain! I hope the supply issue isn't a problem - I worry about this constantly.
How many weeks old is baby? 5 days old today
Any medical appointments/updates for baby or mom this week? We've been having daily visits from the midwives to monitor his bilirubin and we had an appointment with a breastfeeding Clinic yesterday to address some issues we were having.
Questions, concerns, updates, etc. concerning feeding/weight gain? We were doing great with feedings up until two nights ago and then all hell broke loose - he wouldn't maintain his latch and it was taking him hours to feed. We got into a breastfeeding Clinic yesterday and they snipped his tongue tie and I'm starting out each feed with a nipple shield now. Turns out my boobs have gotten so big my already flat-ish nipples were stretched out even more, hence the problem latching.
Questions, concerns, updates, etc. concerning sleeping or other symptoms for both baby & mom? No, he still won't sleep if he's put down but we are OK with that for now.
Rants/raves/questions? I'm just so happy my midwives come to my house. All I want to do is hang out at home in my pj's with my two favourite guys.
GTKY: Are you remembering to make YOU time? If so, what do you do for you? I'm trying, mostly by staying on top of personal hygiene. I just don't care right now to do anything else.
