Ben is 8 weeks old today!

I was cleared for exercise and sex at my 6 week appointment and Ben had his 2 month check up early and did great with his round of vaccines! Up to 12 lbs, 14 oz! What a big boy!

Eating really well with exclusively breast milk on the boob with the occassional expressed milk bottle. Sleeping is meh. It's not terrible but I'm still getting up pretty much twice in the night with him. Fortunately, he goes down pretty well with the exception of his light sleep with his second wake up.

We fly from Washington to Michigan in 1 week, I'm flying by myself and hubs is flying back with us, I'm trying not to be nervous. I think I'm more nervous about all the gear as opposed to in flight chaos!

Jacob is 8 weeks old today

Any recent/upcoming appointments for LO or yourself to report on?
I had my post partum visit this morning. Everything looks good, they are still pushing birth control on me, and still want me to go see someone about possible PPD. Jacob has his 2 month appointment next Monday

How is LO eating and sleeping?
Eating: FF, eats around 4 oz every 2.5 to 4 hours during the day. He is on some prevacid to help reflux, not sure if it is helping or not. He still spits up quite a bit, and it seems most of that is 2 to 2.5 hours after eating. We tried giving him less to eat, and he would just scream until he got that last half ounce. He is a stomach sleeper, so maybe that isn't helping any.

Sleeping: He usually has his last bottle between 8 and 10, and once he is asleep and in his crib, he doesn't usually wake up until between 4 and 5. That being said, daytime naps are hit or miss. He didn't sleep more than 10 minutes between his 8 am and 11 am bottles, but then slept a good hour and a half (half hour on me, am hour in his crib) and is currently sleeping on me again.

Any travel plans (by any mode of transportation) upcoming?
We have a family reunion about an hour away in a couple of weeks. We are looking into going somewhere nearby-ish in September for our anniversary and leaving Jacob with his grandparents for the night.

V is 10 weeks old!

She had her two month check up last week, which included shots. She gained 2.5 pounds since her last visit- up to 10 pounds 4 ounces . A couple of hours after the shots, she wailed for an hour. The only thing that calmed her was me rocking her. I called the pedi and they suggested giving her a little bit of Infant Tylenol. It worked and she was back to smiling soon after.

She is formula fed from Dr Brown bottles- so far, it's going well! The bottles really cut down on grassiness during feedings.

She is sleeping at night about 6 hours. She has a couple of wake ups in the middle of the night, but she soothes herself back to sleep. I hope this keeps up and she begins to sleep longer. I take her out on the porch when she first wakes in the morning so that she can that it's daylight now.

We are traveling two hours via car next weekend for a weekend beach vacation. We have plans to fly to TX ( 4 hour flight) at the beginning of September so I'm starting to mentally prepare for a flight with her. Prayers will be needed!

A is 7 weeks today!

i had my 6 week appointment last week and I got the all-clear, aside from a granuloma at my stitch site. Then I had emergency gallbladder surgery last Tuesday so I've been kind of out of it. I go tomorrow for a check up on that and I'm hoping I am allowed to pick up LO in her car seat again!

LO is eating well, as usual. She had mostly pumped breastmilk while I was in the hospital, which I was proud of. She had some formula, though, and that was okay. She spits up formula a lot, though.

LO refuses to nap, for the most part, aside from today - I got her to take a 25 minute one and h got her down for a four hour nap! She usually gets up twice in the MOTN.

we're going to my great-niece's first birthday party this Saturday an hour away. That counts, right?

6 weeks!

Had my pp today. Will update in that thread but all is well, not diabetic yay!

Eating and sleeping going well compared to DS1 so no complaints with him. Have been trying my breastmilk from frozen though and I have high lipase again, I'm super annoyed. I have to scald everything now before I freeze it, major PITA, and it is highly likely he won't want to drink what I already have frozen. Awesome.

No travel plans until the end of the month. For the sake of family peace we decided to avoid travel until around Labor Day so we wouldn't get crap for being willing to drive 3 hours but not willing to go cross country to BIL's wedding. (Not that we should get crap as those are clearly totally different trips, but we would so we aren't going there.)

How old is your LO this week?
7 weeks! I didn't even realize that it was Monday until just now!

Any recent/upcoming appointments for LO or yourself to report on?
I had my 6 week checkup, cleared for all normal activities. LO has her 2 month shots in a week.

How is LO eating and sleeping?
EBF, Constantly it seems. Every 2 hours during the day and it varies at night.

We have a really hard time getting her down for the night. Usually she's up until 11-12 and then stays asleep anywhere from 3-6 hours. DD1 fell into a routine from the beginning and slept great, so it's been a bit tough!

Any travel plans (by any mode of transportation) upcoming? We are on a trip right now. We drove 5 hours today with both kids and they did amazing! 3 more hours tomorrow until we reach our destination.

How old is your LO this week? Tins was 13 weeks yesterday, and officially 3 months old today

Any recent/upcoming appointments for LO or yourself to report on? Nope, she had her two month shots about 3 weeks ago, and has her four month ones in the beginning of September. I've been cleared for all regular activities since mid-June, and I have my regular OB/gyn check-up in November.

How is LO eating and sleeping? She eats well. Seems a little uncomfortable afterwards for a bit, but it seems to be getting better. She goes about 5 hours at night between her last feeding and her first overnight feeding, but she usually doesn't fall asleep for about an hour or two after she eats.

Any travel plans (by any mode of transportation) upcoming? We've already taken several car trips. It's not too bad. We just have to be cognizant of her eating schedule and make sure we leave close enough after a feeding that we are somewhere we can safely stop to feed her again.

I missed Monday too! Had lots of drama yesterday but short version is that I got my first full-time permanent teaching job! Yay! So now I'm catching up on what I missed yesterday

How old is your LO this week? Hayley is 7 weeks

Any recent/upcoming appointments for LO or yourself to report on? Her 2-month appt for weight check & shots is on the 17. I'm sad that I won't get to go cuz I'll be working DH is taking off to take her.

How is LO eating and sleeping? Eating ALL the time! This kid houses 3.5-5 ounces every 3-4 hours with a .5-1oz "snack bottle" before we put her down for her next nap. I am dying to know how much weight she's gained...her little legs rolls are adorbs!

Sleep is pretty good. Naps every 1.5 hours during the day and she sleeps between 1-4 hours each nap. Down for the night around 9:30, up around 2 for a feeding/change, then back to sleep for 2-3 hours. Except last night where DH took the night feed and she did a HUGE poop, completely woke herself up and stayed up for over an hour lol. Poor DH!

Any travel plans (by any mode of transportation) upcoming? Headed to Ocean City, NJ, (2.5 hour car ride) on Saturday. Think it will be fine unless we hit traffic. As long as we're moving, H is totally chill in the car.
