Check in ideas

[Deleted]

Since so many of us have outside babies now are there any suggestions for how the board can be better organized with weekly check ins that you guys have? Here are some suggestions let me know if anyone is interested?

Weekly appt check ins for baby. How is baby doing this week?

Weekly breastfeeding check in? How is breastfeeding going? Does anyone have any problems or concerns for the week about breastfeeding?

Any other check in ideas?

I like May 15's Thirsty Thursday check-in for breast feeding.

Also if anyone needs a laugh (or maybe cry since I did that too) check out may's "funny things during labor" thread.

I like that may thread. Ha.

Speaking of thirsty Thursday, I can't wait until I'm feeling good enough for a real drink!!

A couple of nights this past week, I've had half a glass to a glass of red wine. I fell asleep before finishing haha. It felt good to do something "normal": watching Bravo shows and The Bachelorette with a glass of wine.

Wish so much I could drink. Ali has mild jaundice so she pretty much sleeps all day and the doctor said no drinks at all until she gets through the jaundice. She's at a good place where she sleeps but will still wake herself to eat so I can't do anything to make her more sleepy. dreaming of a glass of wine in my future!

Oh let's definitely have a funny things during labor because I was quite the riot from the time I got my epidural until the after surgery.

We could also have a weekly grossest thing that baby did, he definitely pooped in my hand today

Maybe this is a FFFC but I'm not grossed out by baby poop or pee. Im kind of just whatever about it. Dog poop on the other hand makes me want to vomit.

+1 for Thirsty Thursday breastfeeding check in

Maybe a check-in about developmental milestones or fun things that happened during the week? Like highlights or whatever.

Hope she passes it soon and that you are staying positive!

We probably still have a month or so before it would be used, but a working mom check in and a stay at home mom check in could be helpful.

The thirsty Thursday thread on May people keep thinking is a drinking game thread.

In the meantime, there are weekly breastfeeding check ins on the breastfeeding board.

Thank you! We just had our last doctors appointment for jaundice ( after going every day) and she finally passed it. So she's all good now. What a relief. She is still so sleepy all the time though. The doctor said its normal and that I should enjoy this phase because it will pass
