Hope most of you are enjoying a day off and sleeping in some!
It's not quite 1AM and I haven't gone to sleep yet. I decided that this weekend we'd give a real shot at G sleeping in her crib all night. Her door is like 4 feet from ours and I'm still feeling...idk, feels about her not being in here with us.
Anyways, what's good with you on this Good Friday?
O slept in his crib, after putting himself to sleep, from 8-5!! Then he decided that was enough and refused to go back to sleep. Luckily it should be nap time soon and I will be going back to sleep.

MIL is having ankle surgery this morning so we're all headed to the hospital to hang out. I'm hoping for a little bit of time to get a pedi later. My outfit for a wedding shower tomorrow requires sandals and my feet are SO not spring ready!

H had to work pretty much a 15 hour shift so we had the bed to ourselves all night. A did his crying at every wake up thing so we nursed every couple of hours. It's raining here now and we've got errands to run along with going to my grandmas for supper. I hope the weather clears up.
budders A has been in 12 month sleepers and pants for a while now (mostly for length) but I'm switching him up to 12 month tops too. He's not quite big enough for them but the 9 months are getting a little tight. Our feel like our LO's are growing too fast and time is just flying by.....

We had our 9 month visit on Wednesday and the doctor said M was drinking too much formula ( 7 oz, 4x a day) and should drink less formula and eat more solid food. I give MIL a 7 oz bottle today and tell her, please only give him 6 oz, there's extra in there. I come out of the shower and she's smiling and says, "oh, he ate it all by himself, I didn't force him." And I kinda flipped and asked her if she did not understand what the doctor said.
Did I overreact? He's 21.5 lbs and in the 78% percentile for weight. I just don't want him to get over fed.

We are still eating 35 oz a day here. J would scream bloody murder if I even thought of giving him any less. We've only been getting 1, maybe 2 solids a day though.

Sandals in this weather? You're crazy.
Tomorrow is supposed to be 61! I'm taking it while I can get it;)

I'm going to murder my husband if he doesn't learn how to shut the goddamn freezer door. Why is it so effing difficult? Thankfully, nothing seems to be bad.
belle0720 , how did the rest of the night go with G in her bed?
It's a rainy Friday here, but DH is working from home, so I might let him watch V while attend a noon time Good Friday service since we can't make the night one. Instead of having to cook for friends to tonight, we are meeting them out to eat. Thank goodness! I'm just not good at hosting and throwing dinner parties like I used to be .
Speaking of formula feeding, how many bottles a day/ how much formula are your babies eating? I feel with V eating 3 solids a day plus a snack, I could go down to 4 instead of 5 bottles.

I was of the impression that babies are still at the point we shouldn't really try and limit what they eat - quantity wise? I mean, obviously I am not going to give her adult or even kid sized portions of food. But if she's hungry and drinking the bottle...give it to her? No?
Yeah, I know that's true with breastfeeding. I don't know about formula? My pediatrician said he should be showing more interest in solid foods and that he's not eating as much solids because he's getting too much dairy. MIL has been known to overfeed as well, she likes babies fat like a good ol' Russian grandma. I just can't wait til M goes to daycare at 2 and we won't have to deal with her every day. But, I went off tangent now.
txngrl31, I just changed C's bottles from 5 6oz a day to 4 7oz with 2 meals and 1 snack a day (puffs/yogurt melts). Breakfast is either waffle, yogurt, eggs, or jar food (until I'm out) dinner is whatever we are having.
sabrinaml, V's eating sounds like your baby's. I've been squeezing bottle #4 in when she is not even due to eat, just to get five in. It really makes no sense what I'm doing haha.

This is odd...DD is eating 5 ounce bottles 5 times a day, and nursing when I get home from work ( she is asleep when I leave in the morning). 25 ounces plus 3 meals a day. Our Doctor was really surprise that she wasn't eating more, since most babies she said are eating 7 or 8 ounce bottles by this age, plus 3 "meals". Maybe try pace feeing him? I know typically only babys who get breastmilk are pace fed but it might be a good idea to make sure he isn't getting over fed (not saying that you are!). You can youtube videos on how to do it.
As for having the day off today, I am jealous of everyone who is off. I am sitting at my desk and have been here since 7:45. We do get to leave early at 3 and if I work through lunch I can leave at 2 but I doubt that will happen. I hope everyone who celebrates has a great Easter weekend. Stupid question of the day though, Does Lent end today or does it end Sunday on Easter?

P eats solids and takes a bottle on demand. Definately more than 28oz a day. He jumped from 45% to 55% in weight at his last appointment but our doc wasn't worried, especially now that he's so mobile. I can't imagine him not eating that much. He would freak out if we didn't let him eat when he wanted/needed it.
It took me way too long to figure out the extra G in TGIGF. I need more caffeine.
I'm going to lunch with a friend from HS today but then have to go to a late hearing at 4:00. I loathe the fact that I have to be walking into the courthouse that late on a Friday. Ugh.
Sorry to all who are working I'm curious, is Good Fri not a stat holiday in the US? I know some of you are in jobs where you'd work stats anyway, but what about others?
ETA: Brits call them bank holidays, Canadians call them stats, does US use that term too? I get very confused :/
US calls them Federal holidays and Good Friday isn't one of them. I'm working at my desk right now
I thought it ended on Easter as well. But when I was reading online one article I read said that it ends on Holy Saturday (which would make sense to me) and than for 2016 is ended on March 24th the day before Easter....but Easter is Sunday and Yesterday was Thursday. Hense my question because I am very confused but would like to learn more!
G didn't do great sleeping in her crib. She had already been up twice by the time I started this thread. Then she was up again at 3, and again at 4 and H brought her into bed with us. She's been sleeping peacefully in our bed since then though. We've created a bed sharing baby monster ?. I'm still going to try the rest of the weekend and hoping it gets better.
H just left for work and I'm laying in bed enjoying the quiet.
We went to a friend's last night and played poker. We put a very small amount of money in because it was just for fun and I've never actually played before and H hardly ever. I ended up coming in 2nd Rookie luck rule! I was even the one to take H out, lol.
Since you mentioned percentiles, I'm curious how much everyone's LOs weigh. I think G has been sitting around 17.5 lbs for a while. Her chunky legs seem to be thinning out since she's walking around all of the time now. I'll have to put her on the scale today.
