Question: Ha've any of your LOs started drinking/sipping water? We are supposed to be going to the amusement park tomorrow and it's not going to be extremely hot but hot enough that we are taking water for us. I was thinking of maybe freezing 2oz of water just for her to sip, play with, cool off. But I'm not sure. Her Pedi asked if I had started giving her water or juice and I haven't, just solids and breast milk. I'm taking a semi frozen bottle of breastmilk just in case, but will be for the most part
@holachica that stinks that your mom couldn't find the outfit. I will look at BBB I always forget they have some decent clothes.
I just got it there because I could use 20% off. It was pricey $50 for one time use, but I checked everywhere and it was the most reasonable price (esp then with the coupon) for what it included (all the pieces for a little baby boy suit). I figure we'll reuse if kid 2 is a boy, if not, I'll try to sell online. That is, barring any poopsplosions!
Cold water and shout and you are good to go even if there is a poopsplosion
Yeah my mom actually said "I will buy it so you can get something you wouldn't budget for" umm I can afford it mom I just can justify spending a ton of money on one outfit for one use. It's doesn't matter who's money it is!
wimcgrath I'm still following cues for nap but I noticed they're starting to regulate on their own.
aggiebug My LO's godmother bought him an outfit. Just shorts and a little vest & bow tie thing. Made specifically for christenings. My mom said it's the godparents' job to get it so pass that responsibility on to them lol.
A friend of ours is trying to start up a photography business so she offered us free photos of LO, so we did that this morning. We took so family photos too. I'm so excited to see them already and hoping they came out cute. LO was surprisingly cooperative so I have high hopes.
Rainy gross day here so we're picking up lunch from Wawa and then probably just hanging home for the rest of the day. I'm sitting in the car with my sleeping baby while my H buys lunch.
I left one of my pump flanges at home today. Pumping is going to take forever today.
I did that last Friday when I went into the office. But I left BOTH flanges at home. I tried pumping into the pump without the flanges and that was NOT happening. I ended up having to milk myself into a bottle! I came out of the pumping room at work, sweaty and red faced. My co-worker asked me if I was ok, and I told her what happened. We both got a good laugh about it. It was a lot of work!

DD hasn't been napping well lately, maybe 20 min tops three times a day. This morning she woke up early, hung out for about an hour and fell asleep. She's been asleep for 2.5 hours! I keep checking on her to make sure she's breathing. She hasn't napped this long in weeks! She hasn't been sleeping well at night either. I think it's finally catching up to her.

That sucks. Or actually doesn't suck (ha ha get it?? Yeah I'm not funny...) New avatar pic, right? Cute!!
Haha. Nice one! Ya, I finally logged into my laptop to redeem some huggie reward points and made an effort to finally upload an avatar. I have tried several times on the app and it never works.
aggiebug I am lucky and I used a family gown that is 101 years old and 4th generation getting baptized in it (I was the third gen). I would def ask your husband's side (maybe they just didn't think to mention it. Totes something my husband's side would do)! Good luck!

Are you flying to Oak-town to visit your sister?
Unfortunately flying into SFO because flying to Oakland from our tiny local airport requires 2 airplane changes & SFO only requires 1. But, yes, Oakland is our vacation destination!

I applaud you! I would of jumped into my car and bought a new set at target. It would probably be wise to leave an extra set of parts at my office instead of carting them back and forth from home every day.

Oh that makes more sense to fly there. It's cheaper and has more options. Are you going to go into SF or the beach while you are over here?
I think I've gotten DD in the bad habit of napping on me. She's still great at night, and will nap in the swing for her morning nap, but after that she is a cranky pants and will only nap if she's on me.

Unsure what our plans are, other than an engagement party for my sister. Typically on trips we do spend a day or two in SF and hit up museums and things, since there's no opportunity for that at home. We'll see what we want to do with baby in tow, though! Sister lives near Jack London Square, so it's a fun part of Oakland to wander around. (Not a phrase that is said often of Oakland I'd imagine )

Update on Baby Jamie: She has been taken off her feeding tube and oxygen. She will be monitored without the support for 24 hours and if she does well with feedings, she should be able to head home. Thank you for all of the prayers.
Got into the new Pedi's office this morning. We're putting LO on Nutramigen (hypo-allergenic) formula for a few days to see if it helps his tummy. It's probably silly but I have a lot of feels about this that I'm struggling with (I think I just wasn't mentally prepared to be handed a can of formula today and I'm still anxious/upset over the entire blood-in-diaper situation) but I'm really just hoping that he gets better.

Praying this is the answer And he gets better. Creepy interweb hugs to you.
She's officially pierced! It's so darn cute, IMO. here she is 90 seconds after:
Welcome to the pierced ear club. Did she cry or cry long. DD cried for like 10 secs after and was happy after.
I like this club
she he literally cried for 30 seconds and was like, ok what's next? Then we went to Build a Bear with my nieces and she was infatuated and got her first stuffed animal.

don't they look so adorable with the pierced ears. OMG I need to take DD to get hers. I may wait til her 1st Bday
You ladies are so sweet. My mom's unnecessary commentary was "When you give him the formula, he's going to look at you and wonder what he did wrong." UGH. No, he's going to be happy his tummy isn't hurting him and glad his mama wants him to be healthy and isn't listening to his grandma.
Oh and also, is anyone starting to set nap times? Or are you still following tired cues for naps?
We're still just going with the flow and watching for the cues.
Same here. Though I make sure B and I get out of bed at thane time (7:30) in the mornings and her naps tend to fall close to the same time every day so it makes it easier to predict. I read in a sleep book a couple months ago to get LO up at the same time every day regardless so that's what we do.
If she's up early I feed her, if needed, and put her back in bed with me. If she isn't awake I wake her. I have only had to do that once or twice though.
