Show us your amazing bumps and babies!!

So, I just spent way too long being confused as to why you used that GIF. "He's not pregnant, or a baby, and what does this have to do with college... OH. Oh. Duh."

daisy818, sadly I haven't had the patience to find a KU grad on giphy

It's been awhile since the last time I posted!

Baby girl will be 12 weeks on Friday. I had a complete meltdown yesterday when I realized I only have two weeks left with her before I have to go back to work. Nanny was supposed to start training this week, but she's in a foreign country with pneumonia. Other than that, baby girl has been sleeping a lot better. Sometimes she sleeps through the night and other nights she wakes up once. I really can't complain. But here's the real reason why you're here:

POOF

She's so beautiful mrsjene. I love that little baby!

We are now 15w2d and life is good. We surprised our families this weekend and took them to an elective US as part of their Christmas present to see Bug. H is sure it is a boy since he "saw something between the legs", even though the tech told him that was the cord. 😂Here is Bug (sorry if the pics are huge!) with a solid heartbeat of 162 at 15 weeks

Hi guys!

Not too much going on here. Ds has developed some ridiculous cross between an inchworm wriggle, army crawl, and roll to get around. So far the only thing that tempts him to crawl is something he shouldn't be playing with (rolls of wrapping paper)

Ridley is seven months! She is scooting all over the place and has just barely started to go forward. She doesn't do it a lot yet, but she's getting there. She still doesn't get up on her hands and knees, though. That seems further away. She got herself into the blinds to our patio yesterday and was so pleased with herself.


And a cute one where she was dressed up to go play in the snow. She's upset in the picture, but she had fun once we were outside.

Hi GKU!

D turned one month old on Sunday. All of this is going about 1000x's faster than things went with DS.

Little lady is over 11 lbs and is now giving us some good stretches of sleep at the outset of the night. She's really alert during her awake periods and seems to be in a hurry to catch up to her big brother. She actually managed to roll from belly to back yesterday! She's starting to think about smiling too, though we're not quite there yet.

My recovery is going well and aside from being tired I am just loving this, and her. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend!

One month pic (PDQ):

Baby Girl is 16 weeks! She's so awesome. She loves to tell us stories. If she wakes up before us, she lies there sucking on her fingers and talking to herself. She's got a nasty cough and chest congestion, but is taking it like a total champ.

My husband and I are struggling more with catching her cold, getting her to/from daycare and mastering more of a routine. But, we're getting there? I think? We're all in this together! Haha.

Here she is sporting her Minnie Mouse ears: ** poof! **

Hello everyone!
I pop in every so often and comment but I still don't know if anyone knows/ remembers me.... but I have a cute LO to show off so that's allowed right?

G is almost 14 months and is busy busy. Still not walking, but he did start walking when we hold his hands and walk along with him. For the longest time he would pull his legs up. Oh well he'll get there eventually!

I don't know what else to report, so here is my toddler:




Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas/ Holiday season!

Edit- he not it.

Hi everyone E will be 2 months old on Christmas Day. I don't remember the last time I updated, but she is in an open crib, wearing clothes too. Her nasal cannula has been removed and so has her feeding tube. She is taking bottles and feeding real well. She got her two month shots yesterday and passed her audiology test. She just needs to pass her car seat test and go 5 days without a brady and then she will be discharged.

I am still lurking and rooting for you all.
Poof

ETA- for picture, Haiii GKU.[/p

OK my lovely grad friends you all keep titting and commenting... xoxo

[requiressnacks]

Hi ladies!! My littles are 6 weeks old. Holy crap! They are doing well and I got my first 5 hour stretch of sleep two nights ago. It was very exciting and gives me hope that longer stretches might be coming. Gianna is starting to outgrow her newborn clothes and it's giving me all the feels. Gabriel, my peanut, went to the doctor today and he's 7.5 lbs. that's 3 lbs over birth weight!

We used our newborn pics for Christmas cards and I'll AW them here. I am in love with the pics....but the babies don't even look like this anymore. (I may have sobbed while viewing the slideshow with the photog)











Wishing you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year! I know how difficult this time of year can be, so I hope anyone struggling has the support and resources they need to find peace during the holidays. Xoxo

[nerdykitten]

peaseblossom55 she is precious. I hope she can get her brady's under control soon. Are they thinking about sending her home with a monitor?

[notelsie]

B is 16 months now, and he's growing way too quickly! He's saying a few more words and starting to sign more. He is such a sweetheart, and shows love to everyone. I'm so blessed to be his mommy.


*trigger warning* loss

At the end of November I found out my baby stopped growing, and I finally went through what felt like labor Friday night for a couple hours before miscarrying.

We are devastated and basically in survival mode at this point. The emotions are always intense and all over the place. I'm still waiting to hear if my betas are coming down the way they should.

I'm not sure when we'll be ready to try again, but I hope to join y'all back here soon

Thank you all for being the loving supportive people that you are. I hope everyone is doing well, and that the holidays are wonderful for you.

I'm so sorry notelsie.

[thelittleredm]

I know I've said this one before, but those pictures are the absolute best requiressnacks

notelsie, I'm so so so sorry for your loss Please take your time before making any decisions and take care of yourself.

37 weeks tomorrow. It honestly feels like we just got our long awaited BFP and now it's almost over.

My belly check today went well. I was having a contraction during my blood pressure check which made my midwife side eye my numbers and so she checked again at the end of my appointment and things were back to normal. Ute is measuring two weeks ahead and I'm feeling pretty over everything at this point.
The pain and discomfort are basically constant and I'm losing more and more sleep to it. Contractions are starting to become uncomfortable and sometimes painful but always subside after an hour or two.

In happier news, we get to view our maternity photos tonight! Cannot wait H gushed over the session while we took pictures and I'm excited to see if the photos match his enthusiasm.
