Hi ladies. I finally made my way over from tb. I missed those beautiful O13 babies too much. I hope everyone is doing well!!

DD is doing great. She is talking up a storm and getting into trouble every chance she gets. She is a horrible eater and still gets rocked to sleep but those are vents for another day 

DS is due on 6/4 via scheduled CS so we're just gearing up for that. That's about it. Can't wait to read what everyone else has been up to.

Hi catechicago! Congrats on your DS; I hope the rest of your pregnancy and his delivery go well!

To commiserate, Cam still needs to be nursed and rocked to sleep, too. We implemented an earlier bedtime a few weeks ago and he had been doing really well. Then last night he woke up screaming after he'd been down for 5 minutes, and he wouldn't calm down for H. I ended up bringing him to bed with me because I couldn't sleep with him screaming. (I'm so tired these days, I go to bed right after DS is down!) So frustrating.

I can't believe you are due to soon, catechicago! Any names for DS or is it a secret? DD is talking up a storm, walking (finally), and even running now. She is very funny and knows it. She does things silly and then goes "Nooooooo" and laughs. She has been growing a lot this week and has been fighting us for every nap and bed time with blood curdling screaming. It is not fun. I am ready for this phase to end.

Hi @cateinchicago! Glad you made your way over. Congrats on your DS, wishing you an easy delivery and speedy recovery.
DS is a crazy person these days. He loves to climb on everything he can get a foot up on, so I have quite a few brand new gray hairs. His vocabulary has really picked up in the last month and he's now a constant chatter box. He is starting to mimic everything so we have to really watch what we say and do now.

Hiiii catechicago! You're getting so close- congrats on a boy! T&Ps for a healthy mama and baby and easy delivery!

Thanks all. It's great to hear about everyone's little ones. I'm sad there aren't HDBD posts (unless I missed it). I was hoping to see pics.

I'm glad I'm not alone in still rocking dd to sleep. I've let her cry 2 times for 7 mins each but that is it. She has never cried herself to sleep. I'm far too soft for that. Not sure how I'll keep that up.

I'm feeling good, mostly just tired. I was hospitalized with dd at 32 weeks and then on bed rest until I delivered at 37 weeks due to low fluid. So far so good on this one. I'm 35 weeks and fluid looks great.

DH wants to name ds after his father who has passed a way I'm not a fan of Francesco, Franco or Frank. I'm fine with any of them for a middle name but he is being stubborn. DDs mn is Francesca after him and we all have his last name. I told him he can't have all the names.

I still nurse dd to sleep. I have no idea how to get her to sleep otherwise. If she wakes up at night and is just fussing/whining I let her go, but once and a while she will wake up screaming and immediately stand up. Those are the nights I go right in. She's super chatty, loves to be outside, loves her dolls, and is obsessed with veggie straws.

catechicago, your so close!
