Squishy baby check in?

[bantyrooster]

We have a TTC and pregnant check let's have a squishy check. Talk about all the lovely things new baby is doing or about the lovely PP body issues :cool:.

I am so sick of bleeding. Between my vag and bum I am surprised I have any blood left. I didn't even tear this time!

I love her smell. I could snuggle her little face all day long.

Vera is now 4 months! Is that still squishy? Haha she is a huge chunk and had her 4 month appointment today and is 16lbs 12oz and 24.5in long! She's doing great but had to have 3 Shots and an oral so she's not super happy this evening

Otherwise she's doing great and is a happy baby!

Andrew is really starting to smile more and more, especially at DH which is adorable. He's been sleeping really well here lately. He's up only once a night here lately which is beyond great. We're working on catching up on his weight since he lost weight in the hospital so I'm interested to see how he's doing when they weigh him at his cast change on Thurs. Thursday should be his last cast change before he gets his brace. They'll either just put him in a cast or do a heel clip (clip his heel tendon to lengthen it) and put it in a cast.

I'm looking forward to the time when Kayleigh stops being so jealous of her brother. Its exhausting having two kids hanging on your constantly vying for your attention. It does end right?

We are to close in babies age for me to tell you it gets better. I sure hope bit does! G mostly ignores her but if she is "missing" he wants to know where she is.

Honestly, she had been doing a lot better, but then he went into the hospital and it just went down hill.  I understand it was hard for her, especially since I was at the hospital so much, spending the night, etc especially at the end when he was finally able to BF again.

roo1582 is your house back in order? I still can't believe they ate all your food.

P is 4 weeks old today! She is a little sweetie. D has some jealousy issues at times, but the moments when he is so sweet and loving to her balances it out. I'm exhausted everyday, but nothing beats squishy snuggles and a toddler kiss. A full night's sleep might come close, though

I'm feeling pretty good PP except for the hemis. Ugh...

I'm trying to enjoy my leave without worry, but I'm having some anxiety about how I'm going to balance work and life when I start up again. I work from home and all i think about is when/how am I going to work with 2 kids at home?

Logan is 4 months old. Just had his check up today and he is 16 lbs. Hes smiling amd laughing all the time. Hes loving bouncing and jumping constantly. We bedshare so I honestly cant tell you how many times he wakes up... 2 maybe 3? Henry absolutely adores him and kisses him constantly and always tells logan that he loves him.

The thing thats hardest for me is Logan wants to lay down about half an hour before Henry's nap and bedtime so its a constant struggle of trying to calm him down so I can get Henry to lay down.

roo1582 - I'm sure it is taking K a bit longer after everything that happened with Andrew I'm 9 weeks PP and things are so much better with DS and is jealousy towards DD. He still has his moments, but I think that may never change

Things with DD are going well. I love this age - the smiles, the snuggles, the cooing. My new favorite thing is seeing her smile so big that it seems like she is trying to giggle but hasn't quite figured it out yet. I keep waiting for the first laugh! She is tiny but very strong, and has been rolling belly to back for about 2 weeks now. She is very much a momma's girl, which I kind of love, although I feel bad she cries for pretty much everyone else who wants to hold her. It breaks my heart to think about how she will do when I go back to work in 3 weeks

Ahh someone to talk hemi's with.... I am to young for this.

A is 5 months. I seriously cannot believe how quickly that happened. She is mostly able to sit up unless she gets too excited and lunges to grab something since she wants everything in sight right now. Bottom two teeth look swollen and she is a drool machine - I'm fully expecting them to pop through by the weekend.
T still loves her so much, took to the addition better than I ever expected. Today I was cooking and I looked over and he was giving her "high 5s" and they were both laughing. ❤️ There is seriously nothing sweeter than watching your kids love each other. For those of you with itty bitty new ones, just wait until they start to worship their J12 sibling- it will make you melt.

I don't know if he counts as a "squishy" anymore, but baby Tyler is 8 1/2 months. He is pulling up on everything and trying to cruise... at the falling-down-a-lot phase. He has his 9 month check up in a few weeks and I'm not sure how big he is now, I'd guess around 24 pounds! He has the best chunky baby legs

Generally a pretty happy guy, but been a bit fussy the last few days - he has a spot inside his cheek that looks like he bit it and keeps biting it and I think it's bothering him. Hopefully it heals up soon. He has 8 teeth and I think he is cutting at least one more.

I am so tired of hemis... my baby is almost 9 months old and I had two c/s and never pushed one single time. Why do they keep happening? ugh.

Abby is 4.5 months old now and wow has it flown by! She is such a sweet and loving girl. She touches mine and mh face and looks into our eyes and smiles. It is adorable. She has been a horrible sleeper for the last couple months but she makes up for it in happiness during the day, I guess! She loves Benjamin so much. Any time he so much as looks her way she is giggling away! It melts my heart! She is a rolling machine atm and is going to be a mover! Lol
As for me and my bod, things seem to be all back to normal. I have a few extra stretch marks on my tummy and it may still be a bit jiggly but like overall my pp experience this time around has been great.

bantyrooster - I'm getting it back in order. Its funny because I'll think everything is back in its place, and then I go to look for something and find that she moved things other things around I hadn't noticed earlier. For example, I made cookies last week. I keep the cookie sheets in the drawer under the oven. Apparently she felt to organize that as well and for some reason, moved the one smaller cookie sheet to a little cabinet that we keep cutting boards in. Just the one sheet. Random. I have no clue what her thought process was. And its not like we had used it and she was putting it away and didn't know where it went. She was actually organizing.

Maybe she wanted to set up a scavenger hunt for you?

Greta is 4 months. Her 4 month appointment is tomorrow. She has her first ear infection Even though she is sick and uncomfortable she is still a generally happy baby.

She keeps trying to sit up, and she has rolled over a few times. she also LOVES to talk and be talked to.

[USCgirl]

All of your squishes are so cute and doing so well! Can't wait to have another one hopefully this year!

Thomas is now 3.5 months old and still huge. I have no idea how huge but he was 14lbs 10oz at two months so more than that now . Em was over 17lbs at four months, though he's so much longer I can't tell if he's going to surpass that or be under it a bit. So far he has stayed ahead of her from birth. I'm very curious to find out. So far he's doing great! He had an ultrasound at 6 weeks to check for hip dysplasia and it was negative!!!!! YAY! He's currently working on rolling over and trying to keep his giant 99%tile head up for longer periods of time---the struggle is real. He's a very happy and chill baby and a fabulous sleeper just like Em was. I suppose this means he will also be a completely psychotic toddler ;)My favorite thing is watching Em and him interact. He reserves his biggest smiles for her and it's so darn cute. I can't wait until they can really play together!

Eliza will be 10 months on Monday, not a squishy but I'll share anyway. She's getting up on her knees and even attempting to stand at times. She's doing a lot better at night and most nights STTN but this past week has been iffy. I think she may be teething. But it's still a lot better than before. She is really starting to eat finger foods and goes to town at dinner time. And she's upped her milk increase slightly, not the average yet but we are almost always at 20 oz now. I would guess she's probably 17.5 lbs. I think she's a rather happy baby, but if I'm not there it's a different story. She is a Momma's girl.
