My little pumpkin is 2 months old. She had her two month appointment today, complete with shots. She's sleeping it off upstairs.
She's a happy little person. Even if she's super angry to still be swaddled and in her rock n play each morning, once she sees either me or my husband, she flashes a big smile and stops fussing. You better pick her up after that, of course :-)
R is 7 weeks today and I've started the last month of maternity leave . Thankfully I'll be working from home 2 days a week after I go back.
R has decided napping during the day is no fun which then results in a fussy boy in the evening before he falls asleep at night. I take my dog for a long walk each afternoon and have learned R will pass out in the carrier so walks have been part stroller / part carrier to get him to sleep.
He seems to be eating like a champ so I'm anxious to see what he weighs at his 2 month appt, although I don't want to rush it!
Eleanor is 11.5 months. She went trick or treating this past weekend and had tons fun. I'm starting to get feels about her not being a little baby anymore. She's becoming such a little person, it's incredible.
A,little sneak peek of our new house. Ten more dayssssss!
kleigh, how amazing that youve made it this far!!! I'm 35 weeks and it's crazy, I can't imagine going past 38. GL this week!
PS- your lady lump is beautiful
Thank you thank you!!! I am so grateful that they've stuck it out, I'm in a lot of pain, but emotionally grateful. I tell MH I could *probably* do another ten weeks if they were like the first 34ish (*IF I HAD TO*).... But weeks 36-38 for me have become exponentially more difficult each and every single day.
Hi Everyone! Our crazy whirlwind of a week is finally over. HL had to stay in the NICU and was finally discharged today a week and a day after she was born. Today was one of her EDD's. AG, DD1, was diagnosed with HFM disease on Friday and H and AG had to go back home to an hour from the hospital while I stayed behind the hospital in the Ronald McDonald House. It was very hard being away from half my family for the past 5 days, especially yesterday on Halloween. We're driving home now finally a complete family of 4. I am going to work on some kind of picture diary of my NICU journey to share.
Here is HL in her Hallowen sleeper and Big Sis and 'Lil Sis together at last.
teraiin, thank you for tagging me last week. I saw it late and didn't want to bump the thread. You are too sweet to remember about me. My babies are doing great. We had a fun Halloween and busy busy as usual! Ds will be 11 months soon and dd's 3rd bday will be on the 12th! I'm in the middle of planning her party and planning for the holidays. Ds is so close to walking, im sure it will happen in the next few weeks. He's already taking up to 6 steps by himself. He has 4 teeth but cutting some more right now so we're pretty miserable. He is so smiley and such a mama's boy which I luuurrvvve. Dd is in preschool and doing wonderfully. Acting a bit like a threenager but we're dealing with it, haha. I miss talking to you lovely ladies but hopefully in a few months I'll be back on gku. eta forgot pic of my darlings!
I'm 37+2 today and starting to feel like it. Lots of things I read say that women supposedly stop getting bigger at this point, but that is hogwash as far as I can tell. My belly is giant and I keep knocking into things! I had my first cervical check yesterday and I am only 1 cm dilated and not all that thinned out. No real signs of labor either other than occasional BH contractions.
This weekend we are traveling down to south Jersey for my brother's wedding (about 6 hours away from home/hospital). My doctors think I'm kind of crazy but there's no medical reason I can't go. Still, I would appreciate all of the non-car baby vibes and juju you can spare!
Here is my mountain bump on Monday at 37 weeks exactly:
Engaged May 2003 Married June 2005 TTC #1 since October 2014 H-1% morph, low motility, low count Me-.1 AMH levels, low AFC, DOR/POI, perimenopause Foster Care journey begins March 2016-licensed 11/7/16 Foster parents to A & J 1/31/17 www.fertilityfriend.com/home/5525ef
Hope it is ok that I waited until today to post! Life is good We got to see Bug today, who measured right on track (8w3d) and had a strong heart rate of 185. I feel very at ease today. We even got to see Bug moving around and waving at us/covering his developing little face It looked like Bug was body surfing in my belly! Crazy to think there is a baby, moving around in there, and I can't feel anything!!!

I wasn't going to bump this but since it got bumped I will share the girls' costume. H got a kick out of telling everyone that they weren't real, just elaborate Halloween props. They are 20 weeks and this happened today.
