What's considered normal? S is pretty steady at 2lbs/month, and will be double his birth weight at 4 months.
It is different for bf and ff babies. bf is 4-7 ounces/week initially or 0.5-1oz/day. I think FF babies tend to gain more faster. The general guideline is double bw by 6 months and triple by a year, but this varies hugely as well. (Like 5 lb babies weigh more than 15lb at a year, and 10lb babies may be below that).
My rainbow arrived 10/15/14.
5 cycles of "TTC" - 3 intentional, 2 not so intentional. 5 BFPs.
TFMC 08.02.13 at 19+ weeks. Everyday I grieve for my little Olive.

I read somewhere that the CDC charts suck for BF babies because they're based off a long history of FF, but if you condense the timeline (since BFing has grown in prevalence) it paints a more accurate picture. NOt sure how true that is!

People always say "What celebrities think", but frankly, there ARE HCPs out there actually siding with the anti-vaxers, and even more not exactly siding with them, but saying we don't know definitively. Even a few HCPs saying this is enough to sway people who are on the fence regarding the issue. For me, this is a huge part of the issue.
I wax lyrically about the Andrew Wakefield saga constantly, but the truth is that the internet gives all the psychos a platform, even non-celebrities, and people say whatever they want on their webpage, it gets a million shares on FB and suddenly it's gospel. And if not gospel, it's enough to make some people think twice.
I say this about books too. It's like ... Here...I didn't do any actual research, but I'll cherry-pick data to put in my book to convince people to believe a complete fallacy.
Have you ever read sci-ence? It's pretty interesting blog, but they have an especially great post "The Red Flags of Quackery." sci-ence.org/red-flags2/
I love everything about this! They should add in that shakeology and shaklee crap I have to see on facebook constantly now. Ever read the blog respectful insolence? The writer links to this every once in a while.
Que ugly cry - I just booked my flight for my trip to Houston in March. a Sunday - Thursday. H has never given a bath or had to do an overnight alone. I HATE the thought of leaving her for so long! She will be almost 5 months at that point and I am praying she is at least sleeping longer stretches for H. It makes me so sad the thought of leaving. I am getting in early so I have time to get situated with pumping etc so I am not rushing the day I get there. I keep trying to tell myself I can do this, I have too!
You can do it. My trip hasn't been ideal but u have been gone 36 hours and DD is ok. DH isn't doing things the way I would but she is fine. I recommend all the wine.

I love this minus the square on "doctors" -- I have zero experience with chiropractors or naturopaths (though I do have a friend who is one), but fully stand behind acupuncturists. Just because they aren't trained in Western medicine doesn't mean they don't know a lot about the body and its systems.
So it seems after 10 years, my MIL can't remember how to spell my name (it now ends with an "ie", who knew?)
Also, I'm definitely rocking a belly band today bc I need more than 2 pairs of pants that fit.
Frustrating.
I feel like this is going to happen to DD2. I've already seen 3 family members misspell her name. Does no one know how to spell Phoenix? It's a city, for pete's sake!

It's raining here so I covered the carseat with a blanket when we went in the store and zack's feet stuck out past the end of the carseat. Both dh and I were shocked and have no idea when he grew that tall. Kinda sad.

AWing my adorable daughter. She got to do the first try-on for her sweater. She loved it, I love it, and I can't wait to have it finished! Her messy little bun was making me crazy with all the cute feels. Please pardon the messy, typical toddler face.
Also one of my cats is an asshole. He lays by my feet like a lump and won't move at all, even when I move and it makes getting out of bed hard And he usually ends up biting my foot through the blanket

We got a late Christmas gift for DD last week from DHs aunt and uncle addressed to "Emily". Her name is Evelyn.
My grandma called me and addressed things to me as Brenna until my dad yelled at her about it when I was 21. My name is Breanna. I also grew up thinking my cousin's name was Christian. Turns out it is Kristin. But we all know my family is a fucking disaster so this is no big deal.
So I'm putting this here because I don't want to start a new thread and draw a ton of attention to it. But I have to get this out. Last Monday, I found out that DH cheated on me. Apparently he had been doing things like Tinder and Ashley Madison (?) for months and the Friday before I found out he went and met one woman. They kissed. He says nothing more than that and I believe him. But...I'm not doing well. So that is why I haven't been around either TB or PB much. I just don't know how to process this. I'm trying to go on with life but...in spite of all of this (and there is so much more I'm not putting here) I know that I don't want to divorce him. I'm looking for a therapist but I live in the country and finding a good one with hours I can make is a bit impossible.
Yup, there it is.
I know I'm a little late, but I'm slow reading all the randoms.
I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. We are all here to vent to and get advice from and lots of creepy Internet hugs.

My cousin just sent me a message on Facebook and told me she is having a cs tomorrow morning. She was due a week ago. I'm so excited!
Also ironic that I know about my cousin's baby who lives 3000 miles away but not my brother and sil who live three miles away. Sorry. Still upset/hurt.

She's clean compared to my ds. I swear boys are like little dirt magnets!
She's adorable and I can't wait to see her sweater, although since you live in fl maybe you should make it into a swimsuit cover up since it will be beach weather next week. Lol.
Just want to thank the ladies who thought of me. I took a break for a little bit as the doctor tried to adjust some medication for me. I feel a little better. Less anxious and the crying has mostly stopped. DH says I am starting to seem more like myself, so I guess that is a start.
Hey! Glad you found us and happy to see you posting again. Good luck with the new medications.

No longer noob status! Boom! I thought it would never happen. It was like the tww all over again except I was looking for two stars instead of two lines.
nikkilynn27 I am late but just caught up. I am so sorry you are going through this. I hope you manage to find someone to help you through what you are feeling.
@persephone Sorry you have been having a rough time. Glad to see you posting again, we have been wondering how you are.
