Finally Friday! 12/18

[erbear]

Happy birthday, tiffbot! Welcome to the 30 club!

If my every other week period thing holds up, I'll be due for my fourth period in 8 weeks today. :x

[mrsmonogrammed]

Happy Birthday tiffbot! You're going to rock 30!

[ashbash]

Over this week and soooooo happy its Friday. My laid back happy baby has been a total turd this week - 6m growth spurt? Sleep regression? Shots? All of the above?

This weekend will hopefully include lots of baby and Daddy time, I will gladly take the toddler

I am attempting to go to the gym and drop the kiddos off at child watch. I desperately need the mental break

erbear and mrsmonogrammed - FIL always stresses that it doesn't matter what their curve is unless they drop A LOT or look unhealthy. Our tiny babies are fine--mine is still under 14 lbs. Also, once they get active, weight levels out some because they burn all the calories sitting and reaching and scooting, etc etc.

This. DD1 was a peanut from day one (5-10th %) and DS has dropped from 50 to 30 to 25, pedi isnt too concerned since he is healthy, happy and developing on track Tiny babies are less lbs to lug around

Finding out that the baby somehow un-screwed her bottle and spilled 2 ounces of breastmilk all over herself makes me want to cry at work.

Happy birthday tiffbot!

Good luck either way pbubblegum!

I'm still probably at least a few months away from the weaning hormonal rollercoaster, but I'm totally dreading it. The symptoms of getting ready to ovulate again were worse than the symptoms when I found out I was pregnant with LO.

+1 on the laid back baby being a bit of a turd this week. I'll give her a break because she's snotty from cutting 2 teeth, but I want my regular baby back!!

On the subject of vitamins, if you are giving them I suggest you consider giving one with iron in it. The iron a baby gets from you typically lasts for 6-12 months and there is iron in food like rice cereal or in formula, but I personally rather give Poly-Vi-Sol with iron than worry about baby getting enough vitamins from other places, but that is just me Here is a link if you want to read more about iron specifically.

Happy Birthday tiffbot ! Have an awesome day! That forest drive sounds like so much fun!

pbubblegum , I hope you get the outcome you are hoping for.

While I know it can be a shock to be pregnant again so soon, I kind of feel like if you are NP, you really shouldn't be all that shocked if you are in fact pregnant, and perhaps already should have had a plan in place. It only takes one time ladies!

I agree.  But, I'm also a control freak so I could never be ok with the 'let's see what happens' plan.  I need to chart future birthdays, yo.

What is this thing you call a laid back baby? I want one, lol.  At least my baby finishes things, I guess.  He finished the colic before the relfux, and the relfux before the teething, haha.

[Widget123]

LO is a smallish baby. DD was too but then skyrocketed in the growth curves around 5-7 months. LO not so much. He has a big head (%) and a little body (%), which is my joke to myself why he can't sit up unassisted yet... not that I worry too much about developmental milestones anyway.

[Widget123]

That's so scary @babybean9! I'm glad your sister is okay.

[wegrowsheep]

It's okay, we all know @jemomma made that comment in my direction.

5 wakeups last night. And literally listening to roosters crow right now (I have 3 of those fuckers, time for enchiladas).

I have to get packed for our adventure to Cousin Land, but since the kids are still asleep, I'm sitting in bed catching up on here.

We officially sold our house yesterday!! Woo hoo!!! AW here
It sold with only one open house and within 7 days of listing.

[alayne926]

So...funny story that I don't want to share on FB about DS and potty...

So, he gets anxious to get off the potty so he can get back to important 3 year old stuff. So, usually, he....dribbles...a little on the seat on his way off.

We've had LOTS of chats about waiting until we're all done before we get off the potty.

This morning, we're going to the bathroom before DC and he goes to stand up and he looks down and says, "There's no pee on the seat!" I was like, "You're right buddy, you did a good job waiting till you were done." He says, "That's right, I need a high five!"

LOL...

I'm up nursing again. Story of my life; I'm either nursing or pumping. LO has her 6 month check up this morning and I'm pretty sure she's fallen off her growth curve for weight. Not sure what the doctor will say about that. The last time we were there the nurse incorrectly weighed her, so it looks like she hasn't gained weight in a month, too.

I have my fingers crossed for shots-induced napping. More likely it'll be shots-induced clinging to mama.

We went a little over a month ago for eczema flare up and he was 14.10 we went yesterday for 6 month and he weighed 15.6 so he hasn't even gained a pound in a month. I freaked out but his Ped isn't worried since he is gaining and grew quite a bit in height.

[tiffbot]

Scary @babybean9!

Woohoo congrats @poppyc8!!!!

Lol alayne926, DS isn't potty trained yet but he needs and gives high fives for everything. I remember doing something really random like put a couple blocks together or something and he was like 'high five mom!!'

The last couple of days I have been feeling like crap. I'm so nauseous it reminds me of pregnancy. I'm also late on my period. You can see where this is going but I'm too afraid to check.

My period is always "late" according to my bc pack. AF never appears until the next to last day of the white inactive pills. Always freaks me out.

[veggiemo]

Happy Birthday tiffbot !!

Today is our office Christmas party. It's something to sort of look forward to because it breaks up a normal work-day by having to get ready for it, but on the other hand it's not all that fun because it's a bunch of old lawyer men who talk about work and shit I have no clue about. So I usually just strut around in a short skirt looking pretty. But I'm fat right now, sooo... I'm just gonna have a few beers and jet out early.

ETA: Fat meaning I can't fit into any of my short skirts, not that I'm not still pretty

[wegrowsheep]

AF is now back to a 28 day cycle. Despite nursing every.two.hours.
Ugh.

My plan would be to freak out...jk. I've actually given thought to our plan (obvi have the baby) but depending on baby's sex it would either go in DS or LOs room. Or PnP/RnP in our room temporarily until LO is old enough to go into the toddler bed and DS would go to big (twin or full) bed.

It totally took me too long to understand why it was funny...I was like OK enchiladas she's been up a while it's clearly lunch food...oops

[islandgirl14]

Happy Birthday tiffbot!! Hope you have a great day! And congrats @poppyc8 on the house sale! That's awesome and crazy fast!!

[erbear]

The appointment went well! She's 12 lbs, 10 oz, 25 inches long. The pedi said her weight will probably level off with her being so active (all she did while we were there was spin herself around on the exam table and eat the paper, hah. She wasn't concerned about it but did recommend a weight check when we come back for her flu shot booster next month.

No sign of teeth yet!

That DD1, I longed for the baby who would just sit happily in Moms lap or the stroller and play with a toy DS is a crap sleeper but a happy guy. If its any help DD is an awesome toddler and really hit her groove at about a year

[erbear]

Oh, and she recommended we move LO into her own room to try to help her sleep. I'm not ready for her to move out, but if it helps her sleep...

With DD1 that was a biggie in helping her and she was about this age, I wasnt ready but she was and we all slept better. Its always worth and try and if in a few nights its not working then she can always cone back into your room
