I've been comparing Elaine to all the other babies on this board in terms of development (bad Lemon!) and have been quietly freaking out because she's 3 months and wasn't batting things or trying to roll over or using her arms to push herself up during tummy time. But I'm watching her right now and she's batting her play mat and keep quietly saying "YES!!" every time she hits one! haha Get it girl! Get that octopus!
I think the reason why she's not pushing up on her arms yet is that her head is just sooo big!!!! She's got a huge noggin on her!
eveline is 3 months and still rarely bats at toys. She mainly just likes glaring at them like they offended her. And she hasn't pushed herself up yet either, I think it's also bc her head is ginormous. She keeps herself upright when sitting in a chair or being worn though, so I'm not worried. Too much. Lol.

Ds also looks at his toys like they've offended him haha.
My FB buddies have seen this already - but I started the paperwork to be a Milk Donor! I am really excited about it. I know Logan wasn't in the NICU long and it wasn't for reasons such as pre-mature birth or even illness, but we saw those babies every day we were there, especially when we were in Pod 1. I still have to go through the blood work before I can donate (I am not expecting any issues), but I really can't wait to drop off my first donation.

On behalf of the preemies who will most likely end up with your milk, thank you. It really could save their lives.
Hey ladies, keep my SIL in your thoughts. She has chloestatis and the just found out this afternoon she has preeclampsia. So they're heading to the hospital and might induce tonight! Good news is that she's 36 weeks! She's going to do great!

Today is the 6th which means A is 3 months adjusted today. I feel bad for not realizing it until right now. And that means that in 8 days she will be 6 months chronological. Omgggggg.
You should buy a bunch of balloons and celebrate her 1/2 birthday.

I'd have to be able to get to the store lol.
I think I'm going to start that preemie holding a picture of itself thing. Every 6 months, I'll do it again.

At my in laws for the weekend. Their Internet is crap so I'll be checking in occasionally. Best part is there is somebody to hand the baby to more! We're here with my bil, sil, and their kids...which led to my fffc post of not all babies being cute. Sorry nephew. Our boys are 6 days apart in age, which will be fun with them growing up.
Just had my interview. I think it went well but you can just tell these people are so stressed and not really advocated for properly. In some was I'm like hey I can be your hero, in other ways I'm like DNW.
lemon200 and kaeguri I'm with you guys on the big headed babies. We do tummy time on our chests which I think helps him lift his head but he face plants all the time.
I have been failing at parenting this week. Usually W only cries because he wants the boob (either for food or comfort). Because he is sick he is crying and fussing non stop and he dnw the boob unless he's hungry. I have no idea what his cries mean. I did not know how much I relied on just being mom and having boobs to comfort him. Such a fail at comfort w/o boobs or cuddles .
I need to vent. Sorry if this is long and whiny. I am so frustrated with my restricted diet and DD2's poop. It took almost 7 months of trial and error with DD1 to figure out her intolerances, and I really really thought that it'd be different this time. I was upset when DD2 was diagnosed with food intolerances as well, but I felt prepared and since we caught it earlier I was optimistic. Her rash completely cleared up within a few weeks and she was doing great until 2 weeks ago. Now her poops are dark green and mucusy. Every single one for the last 2 weeks. I haven't had any dairy, soy, or beef in 5 weeks, no peanuts in 2 weeks, and now no eggs in 1 week. No change. The next thing to eliminate is tree nuts. It is exhausting constantly worrying about what I eat and what her diaper is going to look like. And I feel like a failure for not being able to fix it. I'm also not at all looking forward to the holidays because once again, I won't be able to eat anything when we visit family. We have multiple get-togethers to go to and I have to bring my own "safe" food.
The pedi and DH both say that as long as she's gaining ok and seems happy then not to worry. But I'm the one changing multiple diapers filled with mucus everyday and I know it's not normal. If she had a yellow seedy diaper I would probably be so happy I'd cry. As it is, I make DH change all diapers when he's home because it just makes me more and more upset every time I see them.
End rant.
Hey, B had dark green (like dark army greenish-grey) poop for a while. He's on formula, so it's not the same, but I figured out it was because he was getting too much iron and not absorbing all of it. So I tried a low-iron formula and the next day it was a light yellow-brown color and has been ever since. He used to have a lot of discomfort and would arch his back every time I fed him, that has almost completely stopped. Any chance you're eating something really high in iron?
I'm so over today. H got over his weird thing about me not going shopping and he decided to come with me. I shouldnt have let him come. The entire time it was like I was dragging around a three year old along with having a baby strapped to my chest. "Are we done yet?" "I want to get this" "let's go look at tvs" "why are you getting that?" "This is taking forever" uuuuyggggggghhhhhhhhhhh And then he got pissy because I was slightly annoyed with his attitude. So pissy in fact that after I buckled baby back into his car seat and shut the door, he locked the fucking car so I couldn't get in! He left me outside and said that he had half a mind to just leave me at the store! Are you fucking kidding me? What kind of fucking man child planet does he come from? He left me standing there humiliated while a practically begged him to unlock the door. I'm so fucking over today. So fucking done.
This is not okay, ever. You deserve so much better.

not failing. Sometimes they cry for no reason. I go down the list- feed, diaper, rock, bounce until something works. Sometimes nothing works and she'll just fuss til she passes out. But at least they know we're there, holding them, staying near to them.

I can't guys. I just fucking can't with today. I'm finally just now calming down enough to be able to write this. He fucking left me at the store. He drove off with the baby and groceries and left me standing in the parking lot. What the actual fuck. I wrote that other post when I had gone back inside to use the bathroom. When I came back out he was still having his little tantrum and still wouldn't let me in the car. And then he fucking left. I went back inside the store and sat on a bench for an hour before he decided to come back and get me. I was going to just call my sister to come get me but I couldn't handle the embarrassment of having to explain to her. I just... Who the fuck does that?? What kind of husband does that?? I don't even know what to do with this. I don't know how to react except to cry.

What the fuck?!! I would be out the door. Can you and the baby stay with someone tonight?
