Pw-ing it up because I always remember something I meant to say after I've already replied.

Lo is sleeping in his sleep sack for the first time tonight. Wish us luck.

A sleeps much better in the sleep sack than she ever did swaddled. I hope your LO is the same way!

We are close to doubling and I hope he's doubled by the 4mo appt and then some. I'm hoping he will sleep a bit better soon too!

Also, what I had recorded for olympics tonight I am caught up on. Sooo...it's time to go take multiple consecutive naps until 7am.

I like your multiple consecutive naps theory!

[babycaps]

I haven't even gone to bed and he's up!

[fishbulb]

A was 8 lbs 12 oz, so I doubt she'll double any time soon. I haven't weighed her in a while but I would guess she's around 15 lbs.

I do the same thing with the Olympics babycaps. So many commercials!

Also, an Olympics PSA: If you let a toddler watch gymnastics, they will spend the next half hour jumping on the sofa.

I wish I could "haha" this like on Facebook

FX for all of the unswaddled, crib sleeping babies! Mine is one of them- attempting unswaddled! He put himself to sleep this evening after just a few minutes of fussing so I'm hopeful!

[aaemommy]

Also, I just pumped 6oz. Makes me feel way better knowing there is 6oz plus whatever I can pump in the morning for him in fresh milk! Hopefully we won't have to pull from the freezer at all for my first day back.

[birkmmm]

aaemommy is tomorrow your first day back to work?

[PAruby525]

I am so exhausted but can't sleep. Been a crazy few days. Worked graveyards the past 2 nights. I was glad I pumped enough to make up for what she ate.

On the downside, DH works weekend swings too, so E was all mine on zero sleep today. Ugh.

I was telling DH earlier I remember jumping all over the sofa as a kid during Olympic gymnastics! Lol

[wanderingheart]

O doubled his weight at three months, but B hasn't yet. She's a tiny thing, still in single digits for weight. She'll break into double digits soon hopefully!

Ds1 didn't double his birth weight until 9 months and I would guess at the rate we are going Ds2 will do the same. I make big babies inside and tall skinny babies outside.

Can I ask how much he weighed when he was born and what he weighs now? It sort of seems like our sons are both tap skinny bean poles lol

9 lbs 2 oz at birth. Two weeks ago at 8 weeks weighed 10 lbs 12 oz.

DS was 7 pounds 13oz at birth and 10 pounds 2 oz at his 2 month appointment. He's roughly 11.5 pounds according my scale at 3 months.

How long? Mine is 24 inches.

[teraiin]

So DS has been sleeping since 8:30. I woke up wide awake at the 3.5 hour mark because the last few days he's been averaging 3.5-4ish hours. He seems sound asleep... I just need to convince my body to sleep lol

This is almost exactly my DD and how my DS was. My pedi was neves is/never was worried. (I know you've been worried.)

Thanks!! It makes me feel better hear others has similar stats. I tend to be a worrier by nature ANYWAY lol. Currently I'm worried that his lower weight win big head is making tummy time challenging for him. LOL

Even though today he proved he can hold his head up when sitting up much better than I thought he could. He just needs a reason to. LOL but if he can get away with not holding his head up then he will lol

[CattyNattyRN]

teraiin H doesn't hold his head up for tummy time any longer than 5 seconds every like 2-3 mins. He would rather scream or sleep. It's a toss which one he'll do. BUT he has great head control when held upright. I've been a little worried, but I don't know.. I guess I know that babies do things at different times, and the normal is still a pretty big range. So hopefully he gets with the program soon.

TTM about diaper rash. DD1 never had it, and DD2 just got a nasty case of it. Any miracle creams people swear by? She's not bothered by it yet, but it looks so painful

When we had horrible diaper rash this is what our pedi recommended:

Caldesene bab powder - blue bottle - it's made with zinc oxide and cornstarch . Put alittle on

Homemade cream: big dollap of purple Desitine (40% zinc I believe) mixed with about a teaspoon of Mylanta ( yes the blue bottle liquid stomach stuff. We layer that on thick.

And the teacher at daycare recommended putting a little more power on top to form a crust.

That has gotten rid of some of the nastiest diaper rash DD1 ever GD ( she had 3 terrible ones I wouldn't wish on anyone). We put that cream mixture on at the sight of tiny red bumps in order to avoid it getting bad now.
