L is 10 weeks, he's a monster! He sleeps pretty well thru the night, midnight-5am usually; then 5:30-7:30! What he wore for bachelor night, last night and outfit for today!
joy, K has those same jammies, I think. There's a monkey ballerina on the front, right? W, holy moly your cutie has so much hair! So adorable.
K is 5 months as of Sunday. She's suddenly a huge daddy's girl and is obsessed with our dogs. She's so close to rolling over that we're accelerating our no-swaddle plans. The last two nights she's managed to get one arm out of the swaddle at some point overnight, so I'm hopeful that this will be a quick process and that we'll quickly get back to my sleeping through the night baby. She's grabbing with purpose all the time now. Her favorite game is when H or I pretend we're going to eat her up and make growly noises. She's started making the growly noises whenever you lay her on her back to try and get you to play the game with her. She's a very good mimic.
She has her first laser treatment day after tomorrow for her hemangioma and her port wine stain birthmark. Hopefully it all goes well. Not looking forward to driving 2 hours there and 2 hours back, but oh well.
We're packing up the house little by little. Last week we met with our realtor who thinks the potential sale value of the house has gone up by about $20-30k and in the price range we'll list at, it will probably go under contract in less than 10 days. Part of me hopes that's true so we don't have a prolonged period of time where we're having to be ready for showings all the time. But part of me is sad to see our perfect little home go, especially since we're looking at apartment living for a bit while we build a new house.
Please ignore the convicts in the background of the 2nd picture. They were overly excited by the arrival of the FedEx guy and needed a timeout to calm down.

Hi everyone
Will is 5.5 weeks old today. He's such a happy baby and spends his days sleeping, eating, smiling, and trying out new sounds. We realized over this past weekend that he's wearing the same size as DS1 was at 6 months old after finding a picture of DS1 in the same sleeper that Will was wearing.
Here is my dapper Valentine and a sibling picture from this morning.

Well I had my anatomy scan today and I am so happy to report our baby looks healthy is developing properly. We did want to know the sex but our baby is crazy active and was flipping and flopping and kicking and punching.
We will go back in three weeks and my DH may explode of impatience in the mean time.
So here is our Valentines reveal. (My friend made me cookies for all contingencies)
DS is 40 weeks old! I posted a super sappy in and out day picture on fb lol we have some work drama going on with H which is a super bummer. It's one of those you really can't win scenarios. His job is "safe" but the environment has been pretty miserable.
DS has decided that rolling is the easiest way to get around so he rolls everywhere and anywhere including after the dogs. Who side eye him. He's so bubbly and happy!
This little lady is two months old today and not sure yet what she thinks of bathtime.
Per the pediatrician this afternoon, she's growing well since her last appointment and weighs in at a whopping 8 lbs, 3 oz. She's hitting all her milestones for smiling, cooing, and holding her head up, and since she's keeping up with her own growth curve he said she's healthy, just petite. I'm trying to soak up every sweet minute with her because the end of my maternity leave is looming in a couple of weeks.
So excited to see several new BFPs in the last couple of weeks!! Always lurking with my fingers crossed for you ladies.
D is 12 weeks old, and will officially be 3 months as of Saturday. I am in complete awe of how fast the time has gone by. She's sleeping well and getting into a bit of--dare I say?--a schedule.
She smiles and coos and gurgles throughout the day and melts my heart. She absolutely loves looking at her dangly toys and this week learned how to grab them and bring them to her mouth. She is amazing and I love her more every day.
Enough gushing: here is a pic! This is the beautiful face I get to see when I wake up every morning (PDQ): *poof*

I haven't checked in here in awhile. I'm 22w5d and finally getting a small bump. 3 people at work today told me I "popped" finally. I can't believe how fast time is going!

R turned 5 months yesterday and celebrated by having his first 1 wakeup night in a while. It was real nice!
He's making a new sound each day it seems and absolutely loves to be up on his feet. He's getting closer to rolling back to belly, but so far gets halfway and flops back onto his back. And his feet are his favorite toys.
He absolutely loves our dog and is always smiling at him and watching him wherever he goes.
Pics! PDQ
Making his first snow angel **poof**
That smirk! **poof**
Cuddling with the dog who is making one of the funniest faces I've ever seen him make. **poof**
I haven't checked in here in quite awhile because there aren't many changes week to week, but I do lurk and LT. As always, I'm rooting for all you ladies. Many congrats to Rama and PepperPottsJ!!
My Isaac is 4 months old today. The last month has been rough-he got RSV his second week in daycare at barely 3 months old, then an ear infection. My oldest had a cold, an ear infection, then another ear infection and strep. Everyone is on antibiotics now and hopefully the plague is leaving my house. We have his 4 month check up tomorrow, so no stats right now, but I can tell you he's a big boy. He loves his big brother and being up at eye level with everyone-so being carried face out and sitting in the high chair with towels supporting him upright. 😂 He laughs out loud now and smiles all the time and, thank my stars, is *finally* getting into a good sleeping and eating routine. As a Valentine's gift to us, he slept from 8-6:30 last night!

Thanks for the tag, Rama.
Caroline is going to be 15 months on the 20th and I still can't believe it. She's a silly and vivacious girl and she's become super social over the last few weeks. She constantly is saying "hi" to every stranger (at least the ones she's not just staring at) and has a fascination with lights so she's always pointing up and saying "light." We are working on "please" and "thank you" which are super cute to hear in her little voice. She has lots of words and always amazes me with what she knows (which I assume she learns at daycare), like saying "hello" to every phone or phone-like item she sees and holding them up to her ear.
Every day is an adventure and I'm loving seeing her changing constantly and looking forward to her 15 month appointment next week. She's still a tiny nugget so I'm hoping she'll hit 20lbs at her appointment (lol).
She was flirting with her boyfriend at daycare yesterday and they snapped a pic...😍😍
Hi all!! I don't think I've posted here in the grad thread yet...pgal brain...but maybe I have?? I can't remember!
In any event, I'm 11w4d today and saw the babies last week wiggling like crazy and with good hbs. They even look sort of human! We go back on 2/27 for u/s and allll the testing. Stalking everyone (in a non creepy way of course) for good news!!
BABIES? Did I miss this?! Congratulations!!
Come see us on then POM board if you feel inclined.

I'm late....but here are my valentines. I love them ❤️Gabriel is all smiles these days and Gianna has started cooing like crazy. I have 2 more weeks of maternity leave and I have all the sads about that.
He is so, so, funny. He loves wiggling around and rolling over on the floor (still no crawling yet though) and we're working on sitting unassisted. He loves playing with his toys and jumping and crushing food like broccoli and quinoa (I didn't get to eat any of my broccoli at supper last night. Someone at it all lol)
DH is still doing awesome at SAHDing. He is starting to get a little stir crazy though and my mom is getting really excited to take over baby sitting duty in May.
Pictures!!
Broccoli face!
Snow fort building with his brothers
Showing off his cute skinnies lol
Sorry if huge, I'm mobile.
Loving all the squishes, excited for you to start TFAS whatsit!

A day late but just here to say HAI and give more love to the preggly GKUers
As mentioned in Randoms, I got to meet @led and Rama this weekend! We had brunch. It was great. And Rama announced to me in person which was a HUGE SURPRISE!!
A took his first flights this week and he was a rock star. He slept through most of them and was loving looking out the window at the clouds as well as flirting with the neighbor passengers. He also got to meet his great-great grandmother who turned 100 years old just recently. We took lots of pictures and I soaked up every little bit I could as bittersweet as the visit was, since I'm not sure when/if we will be able to see her again.
As always, love to you all and hope for more BFPs and sticky babies!
Alec and Adeline will be 15 weeks old on Saturday! I already miss the newborn days even though they were so so so hard.
I went back to work two-ish weeks ago but am only in the office two days per week (and the babies currently go to the neighbor on those two days) and I WFH on the other three days. Being back at work is kind of nice for the balance but there are parts of me that would love to give it up and devote 100% to them if I could.
Anyway, they were doing well sleeping through the night but I think we've started the 4 month regression a tad early because they are back up every couple hours. They both love chewing on their fists, singing and dancing with me, rattles, lights on their toys, and smiling!

Hello!
E is almost 15 months now -- it's INSANE. She's such a sweet girl and I love her so much I can't even articulate it. I only feel complete if I'm holding her some way :/
But she's growing up and becoming much more independent. She can climb in the tub by herself (so scary), and she is learning new words all the time. After a short phase of not eating much but mac and cheese, she's starting to eat more and more things. She has a crazy amount of teeth. She gives kisses to me and her toys and I melt every time.
I definitely came over here because I thought today was Tuesday. Baby brain is real.
We're doing better this week at 2 1/2 weeks. The first week home was a real struggle. My bp spiked to near hospitalization territory and I was put on bed rest and bp pills. Luckily that's mostly cleared up and I have been able to cut my dose in half for the time being. Hopefully will get under control without meds soon since I've never had bp issues.
Aside from that, I've learned that breastfeeding is really fucking hard, I've cried more from hormones and exhaustion in the last 2 weeks than I did my entire pregnancy, and I basically can't do anything but eat, sleep and nurse my baby currently, sometimes 2 at a time.
It really is all worth it though, because I just love looking at her and wondering how I was so lucky to be her mom.
So here's some pics. I think she's changed a ton in the last 2 weeks, but maybe not so much looking at these pics

pibblemom - Did you have much swelling/water retention by the end of your pregnancy? IV fluids?
My BP spiked badly after delivery as well. I almost didn't get to go home from the hospital, then almost had to go back. It got better as my swelling went down, but it took a few weeks to get back to roughly normal.
Just wanted to put that out there in case it could be contributing to your BP issues.

Hope your BP settles soon!
Yes, I ended up being a csection and retained ALL of the fluids. I came out of the hospital 5 lbs heavier than I went in, and my legs were like tree trunks, but everyone tried to assure me it was "normal." By the end of the 3 days bed rest I was 25 lbs lighter and back under my pre-pregnancy weight. The midwives hadn't given me actual water pills but supplements that help flush everything out, and forcing me to keep my feet up made a big difference.

Be kinder to yourself. This is all you're supposed to be doing right now!
Thank you. I think I'm not as hard on myself as that may have come across, but I'm definitely the go go go type and it's difficult to slow down, so that's been quite an adjustment.

They warned me my swelling would most likely get worse before it got better too. It is normal with all the IV fluids, I think it just takes some people longer to get rid of it.
I went back and forth between drinking water with lemon and cranberry juice. I have no proof it made a difference but they're both natural diuretics so I really think it helped.
Once the swelling came down, it took another week or 2 for my BP to come back down completely, but it did start to drop bit by bit.
Hey guys! I feel like I finally have something exciting to share as an update.
Currently 11w3d. Had my NT scan yesterday. Lugnut was measuring right on target with a heart rate of 154. Unfortunately, the baby was 0.27mm too small for the official NT measurements. So I get to go back next week for another ultrasound. I'm certainly not complaining about getting to see baby again. Just counting down the days until 2nd tri, desperately hoping that the nausea and diarrhea stop soon.
