How old is your LO now? 5 weeks this past Friday
Any new appointments or stats? (weight, height, etc)Had her 1 month checkup last week, she's weighing in at 12lbs 1oz and is 23 inches long.
How is feeding going? Feeding is going wonderfully, I can actually say that I am enjoying it at this point.
Any sleep? We're sleeping pretty well too, we get two 4 hour stretches a night. She only wakes us to eat and be changed, and then goes right back to sleep.
GTKY what do you miss most (if anything) about being KO? I miss feeling her move, and that's about it.

How old is your LO now? Miss Noelle is 2 weeks and 5 days.
Any new appointments or stats? (weight, height, etc) At her last appointment(2wk appt.) she was up from her birth weight of 7lbs 9oz to 7lbs 13oz and she's grown a whole inch.
How is feeding going? Feeding is going well. We're EBF. Still have some initial latch pain but other than that just normal sore nipples.
Any sleep? Just when she does...which isn't often..
GTKY what do you miss most (if anything) about being KO? I definitely got a lot more sleep while pregnant...

LO is 4 weeks old today! His one month check up is in Thursday, my birthday, and he'll be getting his 2nd hep b shot.. Yay. ? at his 2 week appointment, he was up to 10 lbs, 14 oz and 23 inches long. Feeding is going well, I EP, but I've been working on nursing as well. I have an overactive letdown on my boob, so that one frustrates him, but he'll feed from the right one if I can catch him before he gets too irritated. We're definitely working through the witching hour now, anybody else having this?? Any tips for not going crazy or for calming LO? The only thing I miss about pregnancy was feeling him move.
Any new appointments or stats? (weight, height, etc) We had his first pediatrician appt last week. He's up about a pound from his birth weight - so just under 8lbs now. He's about 20 inches long.
How is feeding going? It's going okay. I'm breastfeeding. We had some challenges last week - I was incredibly engorged and on the verge of mastitis, and Walter has been having some issues with latching. Bad combo It's gotten a bit better over the last few days.
Any sleep? We get a couple 3ish hour stretches, but he seems to think that around 2 or 3 am is party rock time and is super awake for quite a while then.
GTKY what do you miss most (if anything) about being KO? Napping all afternoon when I was tired.
How old is your LO now? 3 weeks + 2 days Any new appointments or stats? (weight, height, etc) no new appts til 6 weeks. hoping he will have blown past birth weight by then! How is feeding going? kind of an ongoing chore: BF'ing then bottle then pumping pretty much every time. Supply is slowly improving but not sanity. Will probably call MD for a new LC consult to determine what changes need to be made (ie: EP'ing, cutting back on pumps per day, etc). Any sleep? On days when H is home. I tend to stay up later than I should though which causes trouble the next day. GTKY what do you miss most (if anything) about being KU? Kinda miss baby kicks. I also love the "potential" of it all, IYKWIM. Diana Gabaldon puts it beautifully in one of her Outlander books from Jenny's perspective, if anyone has read the series (can't find the quote, boo)
Any new appointments or stats? (weight, height, etc) We have so many appointments this week. Tomorrow we have the Osteopath and a PT consult, both for his torticollis. Tuesday we have a VCUG and an appt right after with the pedi urologist, both to follow up from his UTI. Last weigh in was Wednesday, and he's just over 9 lbs and 21 inches long.
How is feeding going? Like Miss Killjoy, I'm pretty much EPing, with occasional BFs for practice and bonding, with the hope that we can get back to the boob once his neck is in better shape.
Any sleep? At night, he starts off strong with two 4 hour stretches. The first is too early for me to sleep, the second I usually get 3 hours after I pump. Then his sleep gets shorter and shorter as the night goes on. We did get a nap this afternoon. He wasn't staying asleep in his PNP, so I laid down with him in my bed and we had a nice, cuddly nap. Until he woke up screaming bloody murder. :-)
GTKY what do you miss most (if anything) about being KO? Other than 9 1/2 months of throwing up, I honestly loved being pregnant. I loved having him all to myself. Also, pregnancy insomnia has nothing on having a newborn! :-)

How old is your LO now? 5 weeks, one day
Any new appointments or stats? (weight, height, etc) he had an appointment at two weeks and he was 7 lbs (up from 6 poinds 3 ounces) I have my six week check on Friday and will get my IUD!
How is feeding going? Pretty good. He wants to eat all constantly today. My boobs are a bit sore.
Any sleep? I'm doing ok on sleep. He wakes up three times usually between 11 and 8 but he eats gets changed and usually falls right back asleep.
GTKY what do you miss most (if anything) about being KO? I miss not having any real responsibility.
How old is your LO now? Two months old today Any new appointments or stats? (weight, height, etc Dr. Appt this Wednesday. I imagine they'll be about 9 and 11 lbs. How is feeding going? Meh. Still have some pain BFing but I'm giving a bottle or two a day and it's helping my sanity and saving my nipples. Any sleep? They slept about 7 hours last night!! My boobs were killing me. GTKY what do you miss most (if anything) about being KO? I miss snuggling with my DD and her resting her head on my belly while we watched Saturday cartoons in bed.

How old is your LO now? He'll be 3 months on Wednesday.
Any new appointments or stats? He's probably about 11 lbs now. He's got all kinds of rolls now.
How is feeding going? He's such a piggy. My supply is having trouble keeping up. I often have to give him an ounce or 2 of formula after a feeding.
Any sleep? The most he's given me is about 4.5 one time. He still seems to be on the 3-4 hour feeding schedule. I was in the ER Friday night/Saturday morning with severe gallbladder attacks so I got absolutely no sleep. It might take me awhile to get back to my normal level of tiredness.
GTKY what do you miss most (if anything) about being KO? The kicks, the cute clothes, the bump, the anticipation.. I honestly really liked being pregnant.

How old is your LO now? 23 days
Any new appointments or stats? (weight, height, etc) I AWd this already, we had our 2 week appt a week late due to snow, baby was 8lb9oz, up from 7lb at birth
How is feeding going? great! I'm seeing a big difference this time around with my supply--- dealt with oversupply last time which I will chalk up to my attempt at tandem nursing and pumping immediately because I had to go back to school. This time I am waiting til after 3w to pump. I still have a pretty fast flow but I can tell she's getting used to it.
Any sleep? Yes. I know for sure she wakes up crying for milk at some point during the night, just don't know what time or how long a stretch it is. I don't turn on a light or pull out a phone to check, just get the boob in her mouth and go back to sleep. Now I'm curious though.
GTKY what do you miss most (if anything) about being KU? I miss the movement in my belly, the round belly and cute outfits, I generally enjoy pregnancy. My sciatica cleared up immediately so it's nice having a break from that though.
How old is your LO now? 8 weeks Any new appointments or stats? (weight, height, etc) She was 7 lbs, 7 oz at her last appointment 2 weeks ago. She has her 2 month appointment next week. How is feeding going? I had a milk bleb yesterday. It was so painful. Any sleep? LO sleeps 4-6 hours at night, then another 2-3 hours. GTKY what do you miss most (if anything) about being KO? I miss naps on the weekend.

Mr L is 5 weeks old!
No new appt, he went last Monday because he had an infected tear duct. Chunker was 11lbs. I know he's grown because right now he's wearing a 6mo sized Carters onsie.
Kid eats like a pig. 4oz every 2-3 hours.
Sleep is meh, if we're lucky we get 4 hours every once and awhile. Otherwise it's 2-3.
I miss the fact that I'm pregnant. And he anticipation of the arrival. I really hated the physical aspect of being pregnant. I was sick and hurt all the time. I miss the 'I'm growing a human and that's fricken awesome' thing.
They have doubled their birth weight, up to about 9 lbs each now. So their catch up growth is going well considering they were 7 weeks early!
I am Pumping 8x a day for them but unfortunately I need to supplement anywhere from 30-50% of their daily intake. I am making enough milk for one baby, not two!
They are Mostly eating every 3 hrs. Sometimes 2, sometimes at night as long as 4
Decent sleep-they fall back asleep pretty well after each motn feeding.
Feeling them move-by the time they were born at 33 wks I was measuring close to 45 wks-so incredibly uncomfortable.
At his 1 month appt 12 days ago he weighed 12 pounds and was 23 inches (9-3 and 21 at birth). On my home scale yesterday he was 13 pounds. He's in size 2 diapers and 6 month clothes...growing too fast!! :-(
He is EBF and all is going well. He was tongue tied initially, but had that fixed his first week.
He is sleeping 3-4 hour stretches at night now, for probably a week now? Before that he would eat every 2 hours around the clock...I could almost set an alarm by him he was so predictable! I'm glad he's started stretching that out at night.
The thing I love the most about being pregnant and always miss immediately is feeling baby move. There is nothing like it!
How old is your LO now? Isla is 4 Weeks 4 days old!
Any new appointments or stats? (weight, height, etc) At her last appointment she was 9 lb 6 oz, (7.12 at birth) I think she's probably gained a good amount since then, though.
How is feeding going? I feel very lucky that its going so well! We didn't have any problems from the start.
Any sleep? Just barely, reading the posts about babies sleeping for 4-6 hours are mind blowing, but I know we will get there one day!
GTKY what do you miss most (if anything) about being KO? What does KO stand for? I know it's something about pregnancy. I agree that I miss the attention a little bit! Also, I hated my big hard belly but now I kind if miss it.
@kelsz12 Yes! I miss people being nice, too! When pregnant, everyone holds doors for you and wants to help you. Somehow, when you are lugging around your newborn in their car seat carrier and you really need a door held open, nobody gives a crap!
? What does KO stand for? I know it's something about pregnancy. I agree that I miss the attention a little bit! Also, I hated my big hard belly but now I kind if miss it.
How old is your LO now? 6 weeks yesterday (WHAT?!? Too fast!!)
Any new appointments or stats? (weight, height, etc) he was just shy of 11 lbs at his 1 mo appt. I know he's over 11 now, but our scale isn't more accurate than that.
How is feeding going? Ok. He seems to be getting enough. He fusses sometimes or gets iffy on the latch which makes me sore. And I've started to try to pump a little on top of EBF but I can barely get an ounce in 10 mins, so hoping I can make that work a little better without screwing up supply.
Any sleep? Last week we started getting 3 hour stretches at night. Awesome.
GTKY what do you miss most (if anything) about being KO? Watching belly roll with kicks in the evenings. Having belly in general, I think it's beautiful. I actually really liked being pregnant & didn't have many issues. I'm excited to hopefully do it again someday (though NOT right now lol).. Also I felt less bad about having people do things for me - now that I'm feeling better I feel like I should get my ass off the couch and get my own snacks. Lol. Except when BF, that's a legit excuse....

Our little guy is 4 weeks today!! Time is going by fast.
At his 2 week appointment he gained a pound from his birth weight and weighed 8 pounds. Next appointment is at 2 months in March. He is starting to fit better in his newborn cloths and feels heavier when I pick him up. I am sure he is gaining weight well.
I am EBF. It has been going well. He does get frustrated at times when he does not latch correctly at first. I started pumping 1-2 times a day and we have introduced the bottle. It helps that my husband can feed him once in a while too.
CJ sleeps about 2-3 hours at night. The most he has slept is four. I try to nap when he sleeps and that helps. Will be introducing him to his crib soon, hope he sleeps ok in there.
What I miss most about being pregnant is feeling him kick and move around. I also liked the attention and having people ask how I am feeling. I do not miss the horrible right sided pain I would get due to his head pushing on my ribs and not sleeping well.
Emmett is 6 weeks 4 days. His last appointment was his 1 month well visit. He weighed in at 11 pounds 12 oz, so he is certainly over 12 pounds now. He was 23 inches long. We are out of most 3month clothes Feeding has been off the past couple days. I'm blaming the 6 week growth spurt. We ff, but he has gone from 4oz every 3-4 hours to 1-2 oz at very random times The biggest stretch of sleep I get is 3-4 hours. I'm exhausted - between his sleep schedule and DD's sleep I don't think I miss pregnancy. I Do miss the anticipation of baby and I very quickly after birth thought this can't be my last baby. but the pregnancy itself is not something I miss

How old is your LO now?
5 weeks, 4 days
Any new appointments or stats? (weight, height, etc)
No appointment until 2 months (her appointment is February 13th) but I unofficially weighed her at almost 11 lbs
How is feeding going? Feeding has been tough lately. Gearing up for 6 week growth spurt. She was on the boob almost constantly last night.
Any sleep?
After she was on the boob for so long, she slept for almost 7 hours. Yes 7 hours. I was amazed. If only we could get her to sleep in her crib.
GTKY what do you miss most (if anything) about being KO? I miss being able to leave my house on a whim. Leaving now takes a lot of planning. And since it's so cold outside, we don't go anywhere unless it's necessary
LO is 6 weeks on Wednesday and so happy about that!!! I don't miss the first 5 weeks one bit! At her 1 mo appt she was 11lbs 4oz and can't remember the length but 98th percentile for weight and 94th for height! That's my girl! My mom told me I was over 12 lbs at my 1mo appt, eek! She's growing like a weed, wearing some 6mo sleepers now and her 3mo onesies are too short. Long limbs Lenore! Feeding is good, I'm EPing and she takes 5oz every 3-4 hours if shes not sleeping. Fortunately I pump about 30-40oz a day so I'm building a freezer stash too. Yay! Sleeping great! Put her to bed around 10, wake anywhere from 3-6 once, feed, change, pump and back to bed then wake again around 8-9 (although still sleeping and its 920!) Naps are pretty good too if she's not fighting sleep. I miss my old life honestly...the qt with H, walking the dogs even when I was preggers, going out to eat whenever. BUT I am so happy LO is growing and showing more personality these days!! She's becoming more content and I'm getting better at figuring her out, pfew! The first month was ROUGH!
? What does KO stand for? I know it's something about pregnancy. I agree that I miss the attention a little bit! Also, I hated my big hard belly but now I kind if miss it.
I think she meant KU (knocked up)
Bahahaha I totally did. Apparently I wanted to knock everyone out instead.

I meant to add this too, I miss being able to jump in the car and run to the store to satisfy my sweet cravings!

Lexi is 7 weeks today and her 2 month appointment is February 2nd. Ugh, I hate the visits where they get shots, I take it harder than they do! At her 1 month check up she weighed 8lbs and 5oz. I have not weighed her since but I think she is def 9lbs and a few ounces now. She is still taking about 3 ounces every 3-4 hours. We got a 5 hour stretch of sleep these past few nights and she knocked out 4oz when she woke up! We EFF.
I miss everything because I know I'm not having any more kids, that chapter of my life is over. The main thing I miss is her being with ONLY me. Now that she is on the outside I have to share her with the world.

How old is your LO now? 6 weeks
Any new appointments or stats? (weight, height, etc) Haven't been to the doctor since 2 weeks and not again until 2 months. I'm not weighing her in between. I stressed too much about weight with my first that I vowed not to do that again. Even without weight-ins, I know she's gaining just fine. She's a chunker compared to big brother.
How is feeding going? Great! She eats 5 times per day. Yesterday it was only 4! Still waiting for that 6 week growth spurt....
Any sleep? Sleep is great. She eats about 10:30 PM and not again until 5:30 AM. Big brother didn't STTN until 7 months so she is definitely spoiling us.
GTKY what do you miss most (if anything) about being KU? Everything. I loved being pregnant with both pregnancies. The attention, the belly, the kicks, the excuse for being lazy,.... Hoping to do it again!
