Hi everyone! The twins are just about a month old now and are somewhere between 6 and 7 lbs each. Life is crazy and I feel like each day I'm trying to figure out how to not lose my mind and also be a good mom to them. Right now they are peacefully napping, so that's a huge win.
Yesterday, they met santa at bass pro shops. This pic just makes me LOL because they are so tiny still.
I also took 1 month pics a day or 2 early since they were wearing real clothes.
::yawn:: My baby goes to daycare now so mornings are crazy. Do other people not sleep? Even when I rush, I'm still walking into daycare around 8:30am and so many kids are there already. I'm sure we'll get the hang of mornings so they don't feel so chaotic, but right now? Ooph.
Thankfully, evenings are calm. We pick her up, she coos her face off, she happily plays with us for a bit and then goes to bed like a sack of potatoes. I will enjoy this for as long as it lasts!
Morning ladies! C turned one month old last week and weighed in at 9 pounds yesterday. I think we're going to be transitioning out of NB diapers and clothes pretty soon here and it gives me all the feels. He's started to smile and coo and play a little more now. He also loves to make silly faces while he's trying to poop.

Hi GKU! I'm 15w4d and finally kind of have a bump. Not much is going on really. Just chugging along. My marathon is this Sunday so I'm getting excited about that. DS threw up yesterday so I'm hoping I don't get whatever he had.
Such adorable babies! teraiin , he is so skeptical of Santa and I love it.
I'm at 15w5d and have popped a bit. I bought tickets the other day for a trip up north in February for my shower, and it's all starting to feel almost maybe kinda real.
ugaqueencity you look great and the nursery looks good! I have that same dresser but I use it in my kitchen/dining area as storage for kitchen stuff. The best thing that I took away from my breastfeeding class was the name and number of a lactation consultant that I could call when I got home and panicked! It's definitely something I would keep in handy if I were you!
Officially 13w2d and in 2nd tri (unless you go by the What to Expect book )! I am still in disbelief that we are here but here we are. I have good days with few symptoms and some days with lots but I feel like I am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. No appointments or anything until the end of December, which feels like forever away but no appointments means things are good.
Hi all. HL was 6 weeks old yesterday. I have a lot to update but no time now. Read my siggy for some more info. Here's a pic for now. I'll be back when I get a chance.
Ridley is 6.5 months and doing great. She's loving food (especially grilled cheese) and actually pushed herself forward a few times! She'll be crawling so soon! We went to Indiana for two weeks over Thanksgiving and she did great on the planes but adjusted to eastern time zone a little too easily despite my effort against it. So now we're struggling to get back on a normal schedule.
Hai guys! I totally missed the check in last week.
Little baby D is 18 days old and she is perfect and awesome and has stolen our hearts completely. She's giving us 2-3 stretches of 3-4 hours most nights and is eating and pooping like a champ. She's rapidly approaching 10 lbs and we are well beyond newborn clothes and diapers now. This is going really, really fast already.
Here's a pic of my sweetheart, in sleepy Boppy/boob bliss (PDQ): *poof*
Hey ladies! Sam is 16 years old 4.5 months old, and growing like a weed! He looks like such a little boy now instead of a baby, he needs to knock it off. We had a really rough couple weeks between the four month sleep regression and all of us getting sick. H and I were contemplating giving him to the cashier at Target after a few really hard days of little sleep and lots of crying and screaming, but over the past couple days he's really turned into a completely different (happy) baby so I think we'll keep him He's now rolling like a champ both ways AND army crawled a couple inches the other night Apparently he didn't get the memo that he's too little to be crawling. Here he is from a couple nights ago, being a huge grump and giving us really impressive RBF:
I love love all of these adorable babies!!! So much cute in one thread!!
AFM, I'm still pregnant! 8w1d over here and finally graduated from the RE last Friday! H and I toured a birthing center and (after much debate and argument) chose a midwife group that I'm really excited to be working with. We'll see them for my first appointment at 10 weeks and again at 12 weeks. I'm back and forth between nauseous, terrified, and so grateful all in about a 20 minute timespan, then the cycle starts all over again.
I'll spare you photos of my "blump" because no one wants to look at my gas bubble.
penguin129, I totally feel for you with whole switch to formula thing. We're almost at that point ourselves and it's so damned hard feeling like you're failing at something. But you're not! Happy mommy means happy baby, and as long as she's fed that's all that matters. You're doing the best thing you can. Huge hugs to you, lady.
K is 12 weeks yesterday. She's becoming such a little person with her own little personality. She loves to do this thing where she fake cries and then laughs her ass off when you come see what's wrong. She's really so very social. Everywhere we go she smiles at everyone and charms the pants off of everyone she meets.
Still not rolling over, and refuses to do anything at all if you out her on her stomach. But she has excellent head control, and she can almost sit up on her own. She managed to accidentally throw a toy yesterday (had her fingers entwined in it and was waving her arm, just happened to let go at the right moment) and now our dog keeps bringing her toys to throw. She's almost sleeping through the night, with only a single wake up after 6 or 7 hours and then going back down for 2 or 3 more hours. She takes 2 or 3 short naps and one long one each day.
As for me... I'm thinking that my breastfeeding/EP'ing journey is almost an end. I'm only getting at most 3 ounces a day no matter how often I pump, no matter how much water I drink, herbal supplements I take or nursing friendly foods I eat. She already refuses the breast because it's too frustrating for her, and it's such a struggle to keep my supply at even this miniscule amount, especially when it's just me and her for most of the day while I'm also trying to actually work.
So, we'll see how much longer this lasts. My original goal before she was born was at least a year. I modified that to six months when we started to struggle. Now I think I'll be lucky to make it to when she starts solid foods.
We're going to see Santa on Saturday! I'm excited to dress her up in a cute little Christmas outfit and take pictures!
Edit: forgot to add pictures! Hating me at tummy time (ignore my finger)

Hey GKU!
R is 12 weeks today and the past week has made for a happy mama. Last Wednesday we had the appointment with the neurosurgeon to check his head. The dr says there's nothing wrong and he just needs more time for his head to round out, most likely because I was in labor for so long.
Then this morning we had his next weight check and that went well too! He's up 18oz in the 20 days since his 2 month appointment so the dr was very happy. I'm so glad he didn't drop more on the % charts!
We're sleeping ok at night and he's a generally happy baby.I was supposed to go back to work last Thursday but was able to push it off until January 3! Excited to be home with him through the Holidays.
pismoduo that is hysterical about your dog bringing K toys to throw! LadyNymeria, glad you had such a good week! Enjoy your extra time off for the holidays
I am 31+5 and feeling large and uncomfortable often. I simultaneously can't believe my EDD is under 2 months away and also that there's still 8 weeks left of growing larger. Our nursery is almost done, just waiting on the contractor to put in recessed lights and a ceiling fan, hopefully before Christmas. I got the hospital admission papers and birth certificate paperwork today, so it's all getting very real!

Well, tomorrow marks 35 weeks. 5 weeks left. That seems so unreal. Time seemed to have drug on and on just to get to 30 weeks and now it's flying by! People at work are starting to put together a betting square for due date and sex of baby. Most of them haven't bothered being outside of December and fewer are guessing it's a boy. I think the ones playing it safe and betting boy in January probably have the best chances.
We're slowly getting baby stuff together. The crib is still in the box but the mamaroo is put together and the few NB clothing items we have at the house (my brother has all of ours from DS at his house currently) have been gathered to get washed. I really need to dig out our bucket seat and get it washed, too, and go buy a newborn insert for the second bucket seat.
So much to do, not enough time to do it! I guess the one plus for having to go to triage a few weeks back was that it pre-registered me for the hospital so that's one less thing to find time to do.

Hey guys I made it on Tuesday! The girls are growing like crazy and will be 6 months old next week. They need to stahp! They are rolling around and pushing off with their feet to scoot around. They love to "talk" and blow raspberries and squeal. Our Christmas pics. It was harder than I thought to get 4 kids to look at the camera. DD asks to wear the babies now and loves it, obviously highly supervised.
