Dd is 8lbs 2.5oz! We've passed her 7lb12oz birth weight! Wheeeeee! But she does probably have a little head cold (lungs were clear). I'll probably track her feeding for a couple days to make sure she doesn't drop off too much while getting over the cold.

rinny, child development is so effing fascinating! Things changed so much once DS started talking like a little caveman (in a good way).
So I did not have an appointment today. I apparently never scheduled his month appointment, so that's fun. Luckily our pedi can see us tomorrow. I have spent the morning making goodie bags for daycare valentines party. Now what on earth will I do with this extra candy?

I had to do a video interview via an app today which was weird. It went ok, I think, until someone came to the door and I had to submit an uncompleted video. Ugh. I emailed the recruiter so hopefully I can make it up.
judyblume14 solidarity, mama. DD nursed nonstop from like 1-11pm yesterday. It was brutal.
peaseblossom55 DD has hated being swaddled, but I remembered what you said about the NICU docs swaddling with hands up, and OMG, I think she might be napping?? In her bassinet? Without screaming?? I think maybe you just changed my life!!

I love when I look back on my posts and find awful spelling and autocorrect going on. E's spitting up has gotten bad so we are taking her to the pedi tomorrow. Mil is taking care of E right now. I ran some errands and am now pumping.
Well, we got a 45 min nap in. It's better than nothing I think? I think I'll take C on a target run to pick something up for H for Valentine's Day. Pretty sure it's really just an excuse to get out of the house but he should at least get a card.

I feel like I'd be so awkward at this.
Thankfully, my hands were busy holding my phone but I felt weird staring at it.
When you realize none of your dress clothes fit for fil's fancy corporate retirement party...where you also will be meeting your husband's new bosses.
Just panic shopped at Dressbarn. I was the youngest person in there by forty years but gosh darn if those sale associates weren't super helpful. Especially when I started flashing baby pictures. Two weeks! She's two weeks old and nothing fits and I need to be fancy!
Proud owner of a $40 little black dress that I can zip up. 😂
So B hates the mamaroo but loves the traditional fisher price swing. I'm sad since the mamaroo has such a smaller footprint, but hey, not gonna argue with successful nap induction.
Ladies! My little one has gained TWO POUNDS in her first month! She's in the 50th%ile! DD1 was in barely on the chart by her 1 month check up!
My pedi doesn't do 1 month checkups if baby does well at the 2 week check. I can't wait to see where W ends up on the growth chart next month! DS1 didn't get on one until he was a year old so this is all new, and less stressful, territory.
Babysitter updated- they saw a heartbeat and baby on ultrasound! This is shocking because she's bee filling pads since 8pm last night. She's waiting to hear from dr as to why she's bleeding my guess is really bad sch.

Oh wow ashtog, that's great news. I'll keep her and the baby in my t&ps.
Wrapper friends: I just wrapped B for he first time. I never used a woven with DS1 so I'm a complete novice. B's feet turned purple within minutes. Bad seat? How does one get a deep seat with an infant?! I'll post a picture later if I can. Any tips on wrapping an itty bitty baby are much appreciated!

lakegirl I think Dress Barn is classier out here. I bought my sun dress for my wedding there! I'm glad they were able to help and you got a cute dress.
I'm thinking about buying a baby scale. Does anyone have a recommendation?
Great job judyblume14! DS was so tiny all through his 12m appointment. I have a feeling N is going to be different.
heybulldog56 sometimes that happens with very young babies, their circulation is terrible. You want to make sure the weight is on their butt and not their feet, and don't have a lot of fabric bunched behind their knees.
It might also be better to try feet in if it keeps happening. Here's a photo, it's sort of like criss cross applesauce inside the wrap:
