I'm starting this because I want to be a huge AW.
I went to get highlights put in yesterday and ended up chopping my hair in a last minute decision. As in, while sitting in the chair with her scissors in hand ready to give me a trim. Hairrrrr!


Poof

[jessila]

tiffbot, that looks great!!

[ashbash]

tiffbot, love it!!

[trixi282]

Love it! The cut is so fresh and fabulous, it suits you!

[ashbash]

I am so tired my eyes are burning. I have no idea what I ate but something made me feel off all day and as I feared DS was a hot ass mess all night, very restless, up a ton and instead of his usual fussing full on screaming

And in case you think I can chug a pot of coffee and power through, nope. It upsets his stomach, the irony.

[jessila]

Effff. I think I might have a blocked duct in my left boob but won't have a chance to pump again for another 3 hours. I got barely an ounce from it and usually easily get 3.5-5 and it's been 5.5 hrs since O nursed last. Please pray for my boob?!

[tiffbot]

Thanks girls!! I should be getting my new glasses this week too, ready to start the new year off with a fresh look!!

jessila and ashbash I hope you are feeling better soon!

tiffbot, cute cut!

@jemomma, chili sounds so good, I may need to put that in the crock pot on Friday!

All my sympathies carrots, I HATE man colds.

DH is working nights this week, and it is a double-edged sword. I love having the bed to myself for a change, but I hate that he's not around to help with bedtime and morning. I don't know how single parents do it!

[tjanca22]

tiffbot, I like it a lot, so cute on you!

We had our first swim lesson last night and E seemed chill at first but then started splashing all over the place and didn't even mind when he got water in his eyes. DH is in Madison today taking the test to hopefully get on to Madison's FD. Not sure that I want to move quite yet, but will cross that bridge when we get there.

A new admin started just before Christmas in our office and we've hit it off really well. She has a LO that was born in A15, so we gossip about babies all day long. We're going out for lunch and I can't wait, I finally have more than one friend at work

[mrsmonogrammed]

Had an epicly strange day yesterday...couldn't get food or water down starting after lunch on Monday afternoon. Fast forward 18hr to Tuesday morning when I went to the ER because I was nervous about dehydration. Turns out I essentially have "silent reflux" which has apparently been going on for some time and making my throat swell (hence why nothing was fitting down there!). They gave me 3 bags of fluids and sent me home with a medication that I need to try for the next month to help with the swelling.
I did NOT think it was going to be that involved of an ER visit!!! Feeling better today although I do notice a bit of a scratchy throat feeling now that they were messing around with everything in there!

I hope all the babies and mama's who are feeling off today start feeing better soon!

[alayne926]

How scary mrsmonogrammed! Glad you're feeling better today!

I have AW and brag on my H today. He has been SO awesome about taking T in the middle of the night when she's been fussy the last couple of weeks. He gets home from work at 2:30am, so I've got her until then, but after that he takes her and lets me sleep. He usually takes her to the living room to crash in the recliner with her or puts her in her swing and watches her. I'm so thankful. He has even stopped playing xbox to help with her MOTN.

Do I need to be worried? C is 7 months and 6 days. She can roll from back to belly and can sit up, if she is put into that position. She will not roll belly to back. Cannot sit up on her own yet. No signs of crawling or pulling herself up.

FTM freak out here. Is she not developing on track?

DS was 9 months before he was pulling himself up, and 8 months before he was crawling. I don't remember when he started putting himself in sitting position. All those things were completely average and normal development according to my doctor. And trust me, he is a very active 2.5 year old lol! Honestly the fact that DD has been doing all these things already is weirder to me! They definitely have their own schedule.

just a ftm too, but no I don't think you should be worried. If you are worried you can always talk to her dr but I think it's fine! At this point my Ped says they are milestones and not really development.

Definitely not. J only rolls belly to back, and sits if we put him that way. So, when I say he is sitting, I mean he doesn't typically fall over unless he has reached too far.

I think J15 just has a lot of babies that are hitting milestones super early, which makes those of us whose babies are on a more "normal" developmental schedule look like they are behind.

This might be it.  I see all of the adorable J15 babies pulling themselves up, or getting into the sitting position on their own, or crawling and I panic and think "is she behind?!".  I will attempt to stop comparing.    Thank you ladies.

Very cute tiffbot,!
mrsmonogrammed, yikes that's scary! I hope you feel better soon!
mrsdee1982, LO was six months Monday and I was super worried that he hadn't rolled back to belly yet. My doctor basically said what all the other ladies are saying, that babies develop at different rates and it's not a big deal. I wouldn't worry!

[erbear]

Looks great, tiffbot!

I have more thoughts but I have a crazy day today.

And with that said, although my first was "early" for some physical stuff, he was very delayed with language. Whereas some kids might be a tad behind in physical stuff at first but they are the first ones talking. Just depends on the child

And we had the opposite experience with LBB.  He was never early developmentally, and he never once rolled.  At 6 months he was still tripoding.  I don't even remember when he sat without being placed there.  He didn't crawl until 9 months, and didn't pull up till after that.   But he had 3 words by 11 months - ball, more, and hi.  His language development has always been very advanced, and his physical development average to slower. BH on the other hand is very advanced physically and is months ahead of where his brother was.  Our pediatrician and his daycare providers are always surprised by what he's doing.

I know mrsdee1982, how hard it is not to compare with all the babies on this board, but they really all do develop at their own pace.  And this is such a constant battle to remember, because we do it with everything baby related!  Once they're all crawling, one of them will walk and you'll start worrying.  Or talk.  Or potty train.  Or read.  But they all get there eventually.




tiffbot, your hair is fantastic.  The length is really flattering.

I am on a total oatmeal kick right now. It is so cold and wet here that it is pretty much all I want. Yesterday I had 3 bowls and I'm about to go make another.

[musicfrk2002]

Seeing Mockingjay by myself. H doesn't want to see it and MIL wanted some time with J without me there. I'm about to eat my weight in popcorn.

Also, my cardiologist's office called last week to reschedule my echo. I emailed them, because I kept forgetting to call during office hours, and they said I needed to call the hospitals central scheduling department, and the echo would be done there. Okay. Well, they never sent an order over.

FFWC...the movie ads are playing, and one just played about turning off phones and had a phone ringing on it in the background. I legitimately thought it was the phone of one of the old ladies sitting a few rows in front of me.

[mrsmonogrammed]

Have fun at your movie musicfrk2002! I haven't been to the theater in ages and there are definitely a few movies out that I'd like to see:)

I'm jealous! H and I tried going New Years Day to the one theater that still has it near us and it was sold out!  I was pissed that 1. we haven't seen it and 2. that we had free childcare for both girls, but ended up going home anyway because nothing else was open and I didn't want to see any other movies.

Ok between cravings and your post yesterday are you sure you aren't pregnant?

Thanks for all the kind words everyone, wow, seriously!!

[erbear]

Glad you're okay, mrsmonogrammed!

LO isn't sitting up on her own or pulling herself up (to standing) yet. She only occasionally winds up in a plank or on her hands and knees, too, since she's discovered she can pretty much go where she wants by rolling. i always have to remind myself every baby develops differently, too!

Speaking of...she fought us for a half hour last night but finally crashed around 8:15...slept until 2:30 and nursed/slightly fought me to go back to sleep, but I remember crawling back into bed at 3:20...and then slept until 6:40. Wat. She also took an hour and a half nap in her crib for H today. Double wat.

As others have said, no need to worry. My LO will be 7 months next week. Zero rolling. No crawling, no pulling up. He can sit on his own, though (if put into position). I can tell he's getting a little frustrated with not being able to move, especially when he sees his brother and dad wrestling and play fighting. He's so ready to get in there too (ugh, save me) but it will all happen in due time. Same with C, she'll get there!

[mbjune13]

Today is a lazy day at home! B decided sleep was for the birds last night and would not go in her crib. I do have some running around to do but B is napping so I am making myself known here!

[gigi3126]

tiffbot Love the cut!

So...we officially have 2 teeth. Jude celebrated by gnawing on my face. Joy.

Eta sammyca I would rage if if were her, but I'm super needy. Maybe it's nbd to her?

[billyhorrible]

sammyca, it's a rcs for a second child? I don't think I'd have an issue with DH going to lunch before hand. As long as he was home by the time we had to leave for the hospital. It's not like she was in labor, or needed support.

Would you feel the same weirdness if she had scheduled a lunch with her friends before she was heading into the hospital because she knew she'd be busy for a while once the baby came?
