cougarette i would wait until at least 6 months to drop a pump session.

[aggiebug]

jensoprano82 how did the appointment go? I am glad your Dr is being extra cautious, but yes I would be worried if I were in your shoes too. I am guessing he is tiny due to his gi issues not a heart issue.


Ps my phone autocorrect gi to girlfriend bahahaha. LO has girlfriend issues.

Yeah, that's what I'm starting to think, too. I haven't even been back to work for a full week and I'm already over pumping, haha.

You EPers are my heros!

[dacora]

Nothing like watching two people who used to be married making passive aggressive posts about each other on Facebook. Like quit it already. Guess they got in another fight because the ex husband won't leave well enough alone.

[aggiebug]

I should be cleaning my house while child is asleep and yet here I sit on the couch playing on my phone. My give a darn is busted.

[RedGiant]

Plan on attempting to bring baby and toddler to the pool today. Got my mesh baby carrier wrap and did a trial run this morning. Should be exciting!

[dreemkin]

Well girls, we officially own two houses currently ahh! But we close monday on our first. It'll be bittersweet but we are so excited to get into the new one and make it our own!

[dreemkin]

@holachica we bought that book but haven't even read it. I wish we would have done the library route now...

[dreemkin]

FlutterOfYoshis yes ours was a pretty penny too but we are essentially getting our down payment back after we sell our current house which will help a lot. Boo to sleep regression.

[MommyOfAMiracle]

So it's been a little bit since I've been here. When I left work at 39 weeks, I stayed off my computer also. So it's been a while. I'm so glad to see that this board is still going and a lot of the familiar faces/ names I'm used to seeing are still here! Now that I'm back at work, I've been lurking the page some. I hope everyone had smooth and easy deliveries!! I'm going to try and keep up with the group as much as I can, cause I've got to admit....I MISSED THIS PLACE!!!

[misshart00]

Both kids are asleep. While I love it, I can't enjoy it because I'm so paranoid of them waking up.

mrsclark731 when I'm driving my husbands truck, I can see into peoples cars. If I'm next to someone at a stop light or something and see them texting, I honk my horn and it scares the ever loving crap out of them. It's entertaining on my end.

I do that too. I was in a really bad wreck when I was pregnant when someone blew through a red light. We assume he was texting.

Ugh this makes me feel awful on multiple accounts (glad everyone was on btw! ) but I once honked at someone on his phone texting and he thought it was because the light was green. He drove off and almost had a big accident. It makes me shover every time I think about it

[WittyLittle]

It took over an hour to get LO to sleep tonight. I don't know how you guys with trouble sleepers do it. I got so frustrated and my guy was just lashing and talking, not even crying! MIL had put him in his crib after he fell aslerp during his 7pm bottle... instead of waiting like I asked... so his whole evening routine was messed up. Then I finally got him to sleep and her phone rang reallyloudly and woke him up. I've had to rock him to sleep 3 nights in a row, I don't want this to become a habit

Yes to all of this.....and I only have one.

[aggiebug]

WittyLittle gah I am sorry that is tough, and being in a different place doesn't help. I hope it gets easier.

this fisher price soother has been awesome. It plays for over 30 minutes and DD will kick and laugh at the beginning but by the time it is done she is sound asleep.

So thanks everyone for the positive energy. He has a small aortal valve asymmetry. It won't affect his health or keep him from being active as a child or adult, but unfortunately it didn't end up being "nothing". We have to monitor it, he may grow out of it, may not. But even if he doesn't there are no activities he has to avoid, so that makes me happy.

[dacora]

jensoprano82 Very glad it's nothing serious! I'm sorry that it's not nothing, but at least what it is isn't serious.

[dacora]

Buffalo chicken legs and baked potatoes for dinner. DD was very cooperative while I was cooking and hung out with me in the kitchen in her high chair.

[cloe111479]

Sending postive vibes to all the mamas that need them and little ones not sleeping well.

I feel like a new woman. Eyebrows done, hair cut and pedicure -- all today and the first time for them since little bit arrived. I told DH if we are doing the christening and I need to dress up for pictures etc --I need to go for all of it. So I worked today and left a little early to get it all done today.

We have to go get all the food, drinks etc for the party after tonight and then we are cleaning the house up and down tomorrow after work.

[aggiebug]

Oh gosh jensoprano82 I am sorry it is a significant murmur. I am thankful that the long term impact is great and that it was caught early but I know it is still hard to hear.

[boxerrrmama85]

jensoprano82 thoughts with you and your LO. With a mom that has such a great positive outlook-- he is going to be just fantastic. Glad they know what it is and can continue to monitor.

[misshart00]

Swaddled DS with one arm out tonight. Fingers crossed.

[flyster]

It's almost 4 am. This was LOs first Motn wake up/ feed. Magic merlin sleep suit I love you so.much. I'd make a poem but in case this is a fluke I'm headed back to sleep.

[PikoPiko]

misshart00,you've been home for 5 hours, I take it the one arm swaddle is going great?

[wimcgrath]

flyster that's fantastic!!! I have a Merlin suit waiting in my shopping cart on Amazon...
I'm currently feeding DD... We did our first night of a modified Ferber last night. I was really torn since she's only 14 weeks, but she's regressed a lot, isn't hungry when she wakes up, and I didn't want her bad sleep habits to get more entrenched. I did a lot of research yesterday and since it seemed like a "textbook" case of sleep regression (she had been STTN for a month), I felt a little better about attempting it. Here's what happened:
It actually went pretty well (knock on wood)! She went down around 8:45 (standard), first wake up was 12:30. We went into her room, shhhdd but did not pick her up to soothe, left her room. Repeated after 3 minutes, 5 minutes, and the plan was to go back in at 7, but she was already asleep. This exact same thing happened about an hour later. She was down after that around 2:15... And slept until 5:30, when we heard her noises through the monitor. I walked in and she was all smiles, just like she always was when she STTN. We typically get up around 5:30-6, so that was perfect!
I'm hoping this wasn't a fluke... We will try to be consistent to build good sleep habits. I know many are wary of sleep training this young (I definitely was), but I'm hopeful!

[flyster]

wimcgrath yay glad that worked! We've been trying that a bit....more just rubbing his belly/not picking him up when it's clearly not a hungry wake up. He's never sttn...always needs at least 1 meal which I'm fine with just not the 3 to 5 wake ups!

[flyster]

Oh in the sleep suit I put him down not asleap and he was able to find his hands and put himself to sleep!

He made it about 5-6 hours. Not too bad. But we swaddler with the arm in after feeding him.
