(Edit cause I hit post too early) I would tell myself to chill out, it's all going to work out fine, and do some exercise/don't eat so much crap because it won't come off easily!!!

How old is your LO? 14 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? 4-6x a day. Nursing at wake up and bed time (and before/after naps on days I'm home), sippy cups of half breastmilk/half cow milk with breakfast and lunch.

Solids? 3x a day + 2 snacks. Yesterday she had little bites of donut for the first time. She is a very big fan. I never thought I'd give my kid any sugary/junk foods, especially this young, but now I really value the concept of balance and no "forbidden foods", and want to teach her that from the start. All things in moderation, right?

Questions/AW? Is it just me or are our babies the most fun ever right now? Or is it because I'm finally sleeping?

GTKY: if you could send yourself a message the day you got your BFP for your F15 baby, what would you say? Everything is really going to be okay. Your fears are valid, and you're especially right to fear the lack of sleep, bu you're going to love being a mom more than you can imagine.

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? nursing 3-5x a day, 3 on weekdays and more often on weekends. We are out of the freezer milk so she is getting wcm 2x a daycare.

Solids? She ate more than I have ever seen her eat at dinner on Saturday, and then refused to eat dinner at all on Sunday. I can't eat a yogurt in front of her without sharing.

Questions/AW? DD consistently signs for milk now, but she uses the same hand motion when she wants to pet the dogs. Sometimes when she is chasing them around it looks like she is trying to milk them.

(Edit cause I hit post too early) I second danitaec - I vow to try to be more active if we go for #2. I think I would also tell myself to hire a doula. I really debated it and didn't do it and I think my anxiety about my birth experience is a large part of why I am hesitant to have #2, and it may actually mean that we aren't able to when we do try again which would be really disappointing.

dmorgendorffer i'm sorry you have lingering anxiety about birth. it's heavy stuff. our doula was worth her weight in gold. because my daughter was breech, i thought we'd need a cesarean and "wasted money" on the doula, but i swear that's when she was most valuable. (we didn't end up with a surgical birth after all, but having her support and help in changing my perspective was so huge.) a good doula understands your fears, feelings, needs so incredibly well.

How old is your LO? 14 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? Nurses 3-5 times during the day and at least once MOTN. One bottle of wcm at daycare since he'll play with the sippy cup of it

Solids? Everything. And you can't have a snack or meal without sharing. Otherwise the screams are epic

Questions/AW?

GTKY: if you could send yourself a message the day you got your BFP for your F15 baby, what would you say? You're going to be a great mother and your marriage will survive. Also have a LC appointment the first week you're home and read up on c-sections since you grow giant babies.

How old is your LO? - 13.5 mo

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? - I think it's still 4x during the day and twice at night but I'm not sure.

Solids? - 3 meals, usually 2 snacks

Questions/AW? - my sex drive evaporated again. Ugh.

GTKY: if you could send yourself a message the day you got your BFP for your F15 baby, what would you say? - Just tell your husband when you want to have sex- the minutes between getting home after work & when you start vomiting are few and precious. Take pictures doing yoga at 40 weeks; you don't realize how wonderful that practice was. Oh & you won't be going back to work & your supervisor is going through more personal stuff than she's letting on, so go ahead and activate that study without her.

How old is your LO? Close to 15 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? Naps, Bedtime and MOTN

Solids?

Questions/AW? Thinking about weaning from nap time nursing

GTKY: if you could send yourself a message the day you got your BFP for your F15 baby, what would you say? First, calm down, evening is going to be fine. Better than fine, life after baby is amazing. Second, don't quit the gym membership. Money is tight but working out will be better for you.
