I can't believe I'm joining this check-in!
Age: 3w on Friday!
Milestones: I'm still praising the heavens that he's home! Little C spent 15 days in the NICU. He got to come home this past Saturday.
Challenges: C has gas and reflux, so he gets pretty uncomfortable. We've been trying gripe water and gas drops, but he still seems pretty irritated sometimes. If it continues, we'll talk to the pedi about it on the 9th at his 1-month checkup.
Funny/cute story: We had his newborn photos taken yesterday (I know... late much?!), and he was wide awake the entire hour and a half+. My friend, the photographer, couldn't believe how alert C was. No sleepy newborn photos here I guess!
How are you? Okay. I can tell I'm a little anxious with C because of his NICU time. It was respiratory related, so I find myself stalking his breathing and chest movements. I'm sure it'll get better with time and as he's home longer.
QOTW: I try and spoil myself once a month with time out alone. Like I'll get a Starbucks and walk Target or get my nails done. Sometimes I get a mani or pedi. Other times I eat out alone and get a drink, app, and dessert with a good book.

Two MM/C 1/09/12 & MM/C 4/26/12 BFP#3 - Rainbow #1 born 5/11/13 via unplanned C-section Two CP 11/23/15 & 5/13/16 BFP#6 - Rainbow #2 born 2/10/17 via planned C-section
oldbaylover1024, Yay!! I am so glad you are here and that C is home! I was also (and still am) obsessed with making sure S is breathing.
Age: 7 months old!
Milestones: He is rolling, babbling, and eating solids like a champ.
Challenges: Teething is hard man. He gets really fussy and only wants me. I will put him in H's arms and he will be staring at me and whining the entire time.
Funny/cute story: See above, the constant need to be with me in my arms while I am home is really cute and makes me feel loved but it can also be inconvenient, like when I am cooking or need to shower.
How are you? Feeling ok, work is taking a tom of time and I am still working 50+ hours a week. I wont even get to do much with the money since it is all going to pay for L's karate lessons.
QOTW: I need more me/self care time. Tell me something you do that is just for you?
As I said I need to work on this because right now I do nothing.
