Hey GKU!

R turned 4 months on the 13th and has gone up another % on the weight chart so that's awesome! (he went from 12 to 9 to 6, then finally up to 7, and now 8).

He rolled from belly to back for the first time Saturday morning!! He did it 3 more times Saturday night and once Sunday morning, but not again since. He get really sick of tummy time after a bit so he's definitely motivated to try to roll when we put him on his tummy to get off of it!

He seems to be responding to his name now, and even looked around for the dog this morning when we said the dog's name. Not sure if that was a coincidence or not. He has started to reach out to pet the dog when he's nearby and it's adorable. I can't wait for them to be best buds.

I went back to work at the beginning of January and it's going ok so far. I'm really thankful to be working from home 2 days a week because with year-end work going on right now I basically get home in time to feed him and watch him sleep.

Here's my little dude!!
**poof**

And his favorite position to sleep in.

I have a grad topic for discussion. Who wants to explain to me why @ketchup was fired as moderator? Maybe I missed something but so far I haven't seen a real explanation. I'm reminded of a time about two years ago on another board. NariaDreaming theophania bibliothecary

And in case anyone is wondering, no @ketchup did not ask me to post this. She's perfectly capable of fighting her own battles, but she's not the only one who wants answers.

There's a response in the thread in PAIF.

Hey guise.

As per usual, not too much going on here. DS stood all on his own last week (steadying himself by hanging onto his walker). I managed to snap a pic. Once he realized I wasn't holding him he plopped down and as far as I know hasn't stood on his own since lol

Okay then. So in short, no we can't expect a real explanation. Okay then.

Any further explanation of the situation would compromise the confidentiality of the conversations we have had on both sides of the table. I know it's not the answer you guys would prefer, but it's unfortunately the only answer that we can give and not break confidence.

Ridley is 8 months and is finally getting over her sickness that she's had for the last week. She learned how to play peek a boo and it's adorable.

@led loving the videos

[icedtea]

Yay squishy babies!

22+5 today. People are starting to buy stuff off the registry and it's crazy. Feeling pretty good, other than some insomnia and angry hips. Here's a bump pic from the other day:



Edited because I'm 22 weeks, not 23. Getting ahead of myself!

[mustloveerica]

Hi GKU!!!!

29 weeks today with twin girls. Everything is going great. My MFM says I'm the most boring twin pregnancy he's ever seen. Pregsomnia hit hard the last couple of weeks and between that and not being able to get comfortable, I've pretty much just stopped sleeping at this point. This makes me think my maternity leave will have to start sooner than I was originally planning.

Our first baby shower is coming up this weekend. I can't believe In about 8 weeks our girls will be here. I feel so unprepared for parenthood!



Always lurking and occasionally love titting ❤

[wanderingheart]

Hi! I don't have pictures, because I'm mobile and hate tapatalk. But my hashtwins are 8 months old (what?!?!). They are sitting up by themselves and are complete and total opposites. Hashbrown hates solid food, is always talking and moving, doesn't like to be held unless she's tired, and is the most stubborn thing I've ever seen when it comes to sleep. Hashtag loves food, hates being put down, only wants to snuggle and be held, and is perfectly content sleeping all day if we let him.

They're a lot of work but we love them so. They're both still tiny (in the first percentile and only 13 pounds at 8 months). Hashtag had to get a corrective helmet because he has a flat spot. So I of course decorated it Harry Potter style and it says "this hat is sorting my flat". He's kinda the coolest baby ever. I'll have to post pics later!

Hope you guys are all doing good!!

[DanaScullyX]

Hey GKU! So M will be one in a few weeks and I'm in serious denial. Her party is planned and she gets more amazing by the day. She loves to be on the move and smiles all the time. She has 7 teeth and we go to the clinic today and should have a plan for weaning her off her medicine!!

[frankenboom]

Hi GKU! It's been a while but I still lurk these parts often.

C is 14 months and is just a crazy wild ragamuffin. She literally is never still and she has a really silly personality.

Milestone wise, she's been walking...running...for quite a while now and her vocabulary has picked up a ton. She repeats almost any word you say (sometimes it comes out like jumbled nothing but sometimes it's pretty close) and also has several words that she uses often on her own (Mama, Dada, Gigi, Opa, Doggy, Puppy, Keys (keys are her favorite - never deny her keys), Ball, Book, No, etc.). She has such a cute sense of humor - she loves to laugh when she realizes other people find something funny too, and she LOVES to dance. I'll post a cute video of her dancing shortly.

Hope everyone is well! Love you all and I'm so happy to see so many big bellies and squishy babies!

To be fair, Ketchup did used to play on TTGP (on TD) and here, I believe so she's not unknown to many posters here.

And the whole thing is total bullshit so it may be worth a read so that you can be appropriately outraged.

frankenboom, I respect what you are saying,  however I feel this would have been more appropriate in it's own thread on GKU.  

[PepperPottsJ]

frankenboom, how on earth is she 14 months? Such a cutie!!

Sure thing - I agree with this!

XP from Preg:
Hola! Haven't checked-in in awhile but I lurk lots! Here is Alex, turns 8 wks this weds. He suffers from baby #2 syndrome...hardly any photos taken. I've had his big brother home with us too so that makes it even harder.

[cateyes]

We hit the halfway point!!! We are super excited be here and feel like we are now counting down instead of counting up! Still no real bump, so waiting on that. But I included my almost bump pic below But, I *think* I felt some movement today for the first time, so that is super exciting. We started birthing classes last week and are super excited to be preparing for our little one and have started cleaning out the nursery and figuring out how we are going to rearrange bedrooms! AS scan on Thursday and excited to see little Bug then!!!!

[wildflower810]

Hey! I'm 36 weeks tomorrow and am kinda breathing into a paper bag that I could be delivering a full term, healthy baby in 2 weeks. I could also deliver in another 6 weeks, but going that long sounds like it's own special hell. I have a few more things to do, but I'm mostly ready for labor/delivery, which is awesome because I wasn't ready for DS1 to come and was literally finishing my to-do list while in labor.

Baby movements are all up in my ribs and bladder head buts. I love feeling his legs and feet out the side of my belly.

This kid still doesn't have a 100% name yet, but I'm resigned to the fact that H wants to meet him before we decide. I'm starting to teach DS1 the name that we have mostly picked out, though...

Always stalking for more bfps!

[valie]

I'm so happy I came in to see these beautiful bumps and babies!!
Here are my two...
DS (2.5) very happy with his haircut:

And DD (1!) being her usual sick-little-trooper self:

[requiressnacks]

Hi ladies! The Snacks twins are 11 weeks old today and growing like crazy. Gianna is super chill and smiley these days. Gabriel prefers to exist on oxygen because he hates sleep and food. LOL. And here are my peanuts!

Almost holding hands....


Two smiles!


Always lurking. Xoxoxo
