So I broke down and bought a baby scale off Amazon. Going 2 months between dr visits is driving me crazy. I weighed Mia yesterday and she is 13.11 at 16w (64th percentile). Her past weights are 9.4 at birth (96th) and 11.7 at 7w (82nd). I EP so she's on BM and I can't get more than 24oz in her a day (her choice). Do y'all think this is a cause for concern or ok? I'm hoping that her giant size at birth may have skewed things a bit and she's just regulating.

She's gaining. So I wouldn't be concerned.

This. ^^^

I just saw a FB friends sibling named their child Ryhinn. I think I might cry for humanity.

Have fun at roll call, kiddo. I'm sure all of your seven year old friends will totally understand that your parents wanted you to have a SPECIAL name with SPECIAL spelling.

(My mental pronunciation is rhiiiiiiiihhhnnnnn). Elongated like that.

I hope this doesn't make me a brat and I would NEVER slam the worlds best breakfast food.... But I would probably pay a dollar to not have to wait a half hour for a donut.

Crap. I'm my father.

mommadozer it's a girl and I don't think she has a middle name to help clarify. I am guessing it is said like Ryan, but really who knows. Snarky me wants to ask how to pronounce it but i shouldn't.

My baby STTN!! 7:30 pm - 5:40 am! Of course I didn't sleep because I was up every hour checking on him and then pumping at 3 am when my boobs were about to explode, but so worth it. I fed him when he woke up and then laid him back down in his crib, and he put himself back to sleep until 9 am! I am amazed.

Thank you Merlin sleep suit, you really are magic.

I remember reading when B was only a week or two old that BF and babies fed BM gain at a different rate than formula babies, but are often compared to their formula fed peers making them (incorrectly) look like they are not gaining enough.

It's possible I read this on Kellymom, and I *think* the correct weight gain charts are available from WHO. I probably wouldn't be concerned at this point considering you have an appointment in 2 weeks, but of course that's easy for me to say. I can go back through my resources and find the chart for BF babies if you would like.

ETA: link kellymom.com/health/growth/growthcharts/

It says BF babies tend to grow slower after 3 months which while perfectly healthy and normal might explain the drop in percentiles?

DD has been in daycare since May 14th. We have yet to see an invoice. We have no idea how much we owe them. We can't pay without the invoice ref#. We're probably going to end up having to pay $1K in one crack once they finally decide to invoice! Apparently this has been an ongoing issue with them (for everyone). Irritating.

taberbtb - thank you!

DH and I were talking about that the other day. He said when he was in hs, a new chipotle opened and people waited 3 hours for a free burrito. I look at those waits and view my time as more valuable.

They're too moist!!!! I like mom and pop donuts better.

My Great Pyrenees is the best dog ever--except twice a year when she sheds. It's horrible. I've had all kinds of shedding dogs including an Alaskan Malamute which was pretty bad.... But she takes the shedding crown by miles. Chunks of white fur everywhere after 'furminating' her in the garage for 30 minutes. Ahhhh!

Seriously!!!! And how pleasant an experience would that even have been for the diners???

Hahaha. Sorry, I work in fast food and the giveaways are sometimes really fun but you end up disappointing people and that's kind of contrary to what your brand is going for.

Amish people make the best donuts ever. They are well known around my area and the market happens to be 3 minutes from my house. This was my Oreo donut this morning:

We have a husky mix and yes I love my furimanator. But did you know you can have them do it at petsmart. She goes like once every 3-4 months and gets a bath with them and they do it. I swear she is like 10 lbs lighter when they are done. Lol!

Friends of ours are expecting their baby any day now. she's South Korean snd he is Polish. We knew the name would be an interesting adventure but.... They've decided to call the kid "Lucky". IT'S NOT A F*CKING DOG!

[michelle142]

@holachica nurse as often as you can. If lo allows it, hover over baby and "dangle nurse". It sounds and looks ridiculous, but it works!

Oh no, that's terrible.

[cginge]

I think maybe I've ruined naps from here on out-- since LO has been sick this week, I've cuddled/nursed him to sleep in the big bed during the day, and I've laid next to him/held onto him while he has slept. Now his royal highness expects it. Oops.

In exciting news, LO took a bottle from me for the first time ever this morning. I started him on probiotics last night (it's a 2x/day dosage) and was worried that I wouldn't be able to get them in him while H is at work (I've never even tried to give LO a bottle before) but LO didn't mind.
He hasn't been screaming as much, so I think this tummy bug is going to be gone soon (all I have to say about that is freaking bye Felicia).

Also, "Lucky"? No. Just - no.

Forgot to add, she put photos on facebook with two pregnant friends all showing their bare bellies with the names of the babies on a name tag and someone has already written "oh you're getting a dog, too?" This isn't going to go well

[lilyelayne]

DH's younger sister named her first son Spike, and DH's older sister kept making dog comments all pregnancy. She said she wasn't going to get him anything but dog collars and dog toys, and he was going to grow up to be a mean bully. Tbh I wasn't a fan of the name, but SIL had picked it years earlier & there was no swaying her, so I defended her right to name her kid whatever the hell she wanted. I got tired of the older sister making the younger one cry at every. family. meal.

Lucky is worse than Spike, tho. Yet still better than Rhyyhiian or whatever

Maybe Spike and Lucky will find eachother on facebook and start the "my parents wanted a cockerspaniel" group.

He's almost 3 and still calls himself "Spikey"

I don't see the difference between spam and the FFC/vent/rant page. i just realised lately all i do is bitch and moan here. Sowwy 3 days 8 hours 20 minutes till that stops I semi promise

[lilyelayne]

DH bought me fancy wireless Bluetooth Beats headphones for Christmas, and I have no idea where they are. They're the earbud kind and I put them back in their tiny case after I charged them and haven't seen them since. I'm afraid they got thrown away, and I don't even remember what the case looks like. I'm still holding out a little hope they're somewhere in our disaster of a guest room.
