Hey GKU! R is 6 weeks today and he's been eating a lot more recently so I'm thinking growth spurt. He's smiling up a storm and is finding his voice and starting to coo.
He enjoys or tolerates tummy time depending on the day, and if I sit him up in my lap or lay him on the Boppy he can hold his head up for a bit already!
He loves being outside so it sucks that it has gotten so chilly and windy this week. We still go outside to play with our dog, but today required lots of bundling up!
PDQ pics
Here he is showing off his head holding skills! **poof**
Thanks for the tag! We're T-3 weeks until Ellie's first birthday. We got first steps the other night, but she's still very timid. This girl seriously never stops smiling. She's the happiest, most fantastic kid.
Hi! Sorry I'm so late - DH and I prepped 20 freezer meals today! I go back to work in a week and he wanted to have easy stuff to make while solo parenting.
Flint is doing well! He decided this week he was going to start rolling and chattering! It is super cute. He's also a champ at holding his head up during tummy time. The downside is that he has now also decided not to sleep at night lol he is up A LOT more often than he used to be. Yay 3 month spurt... lol We got a Merlin sleep suit so hopefully that starts to help.
I'm getting very sad/anxious/nervous about going back to work. I'm sad that I'll be spending more time with my students than my own kid. I know it's silly but I feel like he'll grow closer to DH than to me since they'll be together all day. I'm worried about him giving DH a hard time. All the usual stuff I'm sure.
Pictures! visiting with great-grandma playing with his BFF (F kept kicking him in the head lol) hamming it up
Congrats to all the recent BFPs!! Hard to believe the J17 board is already filling up!
I am just hanging out here at 7w2d and cruising along with like no symptoms except sore/sensitive boobs. It is both a blessing but also causes anxiety as I am sure there should be more symptoms. We are just counting down to next Friday (11/4) to our next US. We will be almost 9 weeks so it should look like a baby then and not a caterpillar!
Always lurking and rooting for you ladies-sometimes I forget I have graduated! It is still surreal!
Hi GKU! I kept missing these so haven't updated in a while. I'm 25+5 now, still team green, and can't believe we're just about to 3rd tri. Feeling lots of movement which is really cool, and still very tired. I've been lucky enough to hover right around my PP weight thus far (I was overweight to begin with), so my midwives and I are pretty proud of that. We've already booked our childbirth classes, they gave me the check in paperwork for the hospital and I've only got one more 4 week checkup before we start every 2 weeks! From the AS, baby is healthy and measuring long, which is funny since H and I are not tall people.
It's been forever since I posted here last. But I now have an outside baby!!
Par.ker was born at 39+0 on 10/20 at 11:06 by scheduled csection due to size. He came out at 9lbs 5oz and 20.5in long. He had some trouble breathing in the first several hours and spent a night in NICU but since has been doing extremely well. He's a pretty awesome dude and we are so in love. Currently he is on a marathon feeding day and has nursed 20 of the last 24 hours. Needless to say my nipples are a little sore tonight! Otherwise he likes to give daddy a hard time with diaper changes since he hates to be changed and he loves to make funny faces at us and get licks from his dogs.
Here's a picture of my love bug. PDQ (I'll poof later)

Thanks for the bat signal, ladies! I don't think I've played in a while, so it's fun to catch up on everyone's goings on!
O will be a whole month old tomorrow, and I can't believe how fast time has flown! She weighed in at a whopping 6 pounds 4 ounces last Friday, up over a pound from her birth weight. She eats like a champ, and sleeps like one, too, except when it's actually bed time. We're working on it, though.
I got an exciting offer from work last week: they've offered to let me switch back to our content team and writing instead of being an account manager, which will allow me to work from home two days a week! Totally lateral move with a more flexible schedule. I'm so excited!

I'm so tired and I'm on my phone. Apologizes for brevity there is more detail on my bmb. I have an outside living baby I heard Her cry when she was born and it was the most beautiful sound in the world. I will see her tomorrow afternoon after the magnesium wears off. I love you all thank you for the vibes and prayers.

peaseblossom55 I've been thinking about you all day. Duck looks beautiful and I'm so glad you'll get to see her soon. Sending your family so much love ❤️
XP From Yesterday, 10/24, on O'16 has been a whirlwind of a day.
A short summary: Baby Penguin was born at 12:37 pm via c-section weighing 8 lbs and 10 oz. She had a lot of fluid in her airway and they kept trying to get it out buy couldn't. I saw her care team go from one, to two, then to three people and knew it wasn't good. She was taken to the NICU and been on the CPAP ever since because she is not breathing on her own strong enough yet. I saw her once on my way from the 3rd floor to the 4th floor and should be getting to see her again sometime after 10 pm. I am counting down the minutes and watching the clock like a hawk.
*I'll be posting an update thread hopefully in the morning from how today, 10/25, went. DD2 is breathing on her own now without the help of the CPAP, but there is more going on now that they can't pinpoint a reason for. I'm completely and utterly exhausted and just can't get to it now. She is still in the NICU.*
penguin129 thinking of you and baby. I hope today they can pinpoint what's going on and she gets stronger and released from NICU soon.
peaseblossom55 congratulations! What a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. So happy you have an outside baby. I hope she continues to get stronger for her trip home by Christmas.

peaseblossom55 I am so, so, SO fucking happy for you. I teared up reading this getting ready this morning; her name is so beautiful. I hope you are feeling well enough to join E and your H soon and I hope she is a rock star in the nicu. Please keep us posted; I'll be keeping your family in my thoughts.

penguin129 I've been reading your updates; I'm so sorry you and HL have had a rough go. I hope she begins to keep food down and you all can be together as a family. {{hugs}}
