How old is your LO: 6.5 weeks
Appointments: today for our last midwife appt and weight-in.
Milestones: 6 weeks feels like a milestone somehow.
Rants/Raves/Vents: My baby is really frigging cute.
GTKY:. I can't think of a question, so is there anything you'd like to share?
I am so happy that it's finally not winter. My mood was really starting to dip for a bit.
Eta: a real milestone- she rolled back to belly twice after I posted.
*Poofity poof*

How old is your LO: 6 weeks tomorrow!
Appointments: we have a consult with a pediatric ENT this afternoon about her tongue. What we think is thrush hasn't responded at all to any meds, so my doc wanted to rule out other possibilities by seeing a specialist.
My OB appointment is Friday.
Milestones: I remember feeling like it took years to get to 6 weeks with my son. It felt like a survival milestone. With DD, here we are and it's gone by in a flash! We are enjoying her so much.
Rants/Raves/Vents: her hair is falling out. So sad. I hope it grows back quickly.
GTKY:. I can't think of a question, so is there anything you'd like to share? I'm thinking about starting to wean soon. Can't quite pull the trigger just yet...

How old is your LO: 11 weeks tomorrow
Appointments: 5/25 for a weight check. When we stopped at the pedi yesterday, they weighed him and he had lost a couple oz in the past 2.5 weeks.
Milestones: lots more “talking”, also he thinks he is no longer a baby and refuses to be held in a reclined or laying down position.
Rants/Raves/Vents: I stopped at work/daycare yesterday to drop off some paperwork and I saw a sign on the infant room door saying there had been a case of hand foot mouth. I am really really not ready for all the germs.
And a rave! They asked if I would be trying to come down and nurse during the day. I had only planned on coming down at lunch bc I thought that’s all I’d be allowed to do, but I guess they have to give me breaks to pump anyway, so I might as well nurse if I can time my breaks right. Makes me feel a little better considering L is still not doing great with a bottle.
GTKY:. I can't think of a question, so is there anything you'd like to share?
It’s naptime and I’m enjoying my lunch and the sun in the backyard. Please sleep longer than 30 min, L.
Poof

How old is your LO: 9 weeks Appointments: none until his month appt in July Milestones: he is becoming more interactive. He smiles, and coos, and has a little giggly sound that is adorable. Rants/Raves/Vents: sleep...he is a crappy sleeper for naps and overnight...unless being held. I have tried some pick up put down but it burns me out after 1.5 hours in the MOTN. GTKY:. I can't think of a question, so is there anything you'd like to share? We are leaving for vacation today. We are flying to Florida and going to Disney with my whole family (mom, Dad, brothers family, sisters family). I am excited and nervous due to the awful sleep we get and DS1s meltdowns because he doesn’t like to try new things.

How old is your LO: 7 weeks Appointments: 2 month appt next Thursday Milestones: none that I can think of Rants/Raves/Vents: I've been so tired lately even with her giving me decent stretches at night I feel so exhausted and I'm over it. GTKY:. I can't think of a question, so is there anything you'd like to share? Finally got some of our newborn photos back. I love them.

calendula L lost all of her hair on top and it's starting to grow back in now. Of course now the hair on the back of her head is falling out. D1 was bald for the longest time so I'm sad L is losing her hair. I hope your L starts getting her hair back soon.

How old is your LO: 6w
Appointments: 2 month appointment in 2 weeks
Milestones: She smiled yesterday! See picture below
Rants/Raves/Vents: She is seriously such a content baby right now She spent hours in Drs offices yesterday and came with me to get waxed today and not a peep either time. And knock on wood, she's pretty much sleeping through the night or occasionally wakes, but only once.
GTKY:. I can't think of a question, so is there anything you'd like to share? My H stopped drinking a year ago so I stopped in solidarity but omg I would love just the occasional beer or glass of wine or cocktail.

How old is your LO: 5 weeks
Appointments: My 6 week pp checkup is next week. J has his two month June 4th.
Milestones: Blowing spit bubbles
Rants/Raves/Vents: J does not want to be put down...ever. When I do put him down he slowly works himself up and it usually ends up with him spitting up.
GTKY:. I can't think of a question, so is there anything you'd like to share? I had a craving for jelly beans tonight, so I asked DH to pick some up when he was at the store. During my finals in college one year I bought a bag of jelly belly’s every night. It sounds bad, but I would only eat about half the bag, since I don’t like the red or green beans. Now I just save the ones I won’t eat and let DD have them.

How old is your LO: 6 weeks tomorrow Appointments: My 6w PP checkup and an appt for the baby tomorrow Milestones: starting to coo Rants/Raves/Vents: Stressed about DS2’s appt tomorrow and hoping it won’t be painful or complicated for the pedi to fix his circ, if it has reattached. I didn’t know what I needed to be watching for, but I should have been watching it more closely. GTKY:. I can't think of a question, so is there anything you'd like to share? I’m not cut out for a traveling DH. It’s been a really hard three days and bedtimes have been such a hot mess. Aaand there was an earthquake in the MOTN the first night he was gone. He’ll be home in...about 15 minutes. Thank goodness. From baby’s first trip to Disney

How old is your LO: 6 weeks
Appointments: had my 6 week check up yesterday.
Milestones: smiles and coos, so sweet. He loves ceiling vans, our heating and cooling ceiling vents and the stuffed toys that sit next to the change table.
Rants/Raves/Vents: I wish he would nap in the bassinet during the day! But I shouldn’t complain as our nights are no where near as bad as they were with DS1.
GTKY:. I can't think of a question, so is there anything you'd like to share?

How old is your LO: 2m 4d Appointments: Had his 2m appointment a couple days ago. Aside from a little extra fluid in his scrotum to keep an eye on he’s gaining well. Milestones: starting to get some 3 and 4 hour stretches at night. Rants/Raves/Vents: transition to 3 kids has been harder than I expected.

How old is your LO: 9 days. Appointments: she had her first pedi appointment on Monday and was one ounce above birthweight. We go back on Wednesday for another weight check. I had my first post-op appointment yesterday and everything looks good. OB officially gave me the "no more babies" talk. We were 99.9% sure we were done, but now I'm sad that the option isn't there at all for #4. Milestones: her cord stump fell off on Monday and we wrapped for the first time this morning. Rants/Raves/Vents: I haven't been sleeping flat, because it hurts too much to get myself up if I need to middle of the night. So, I've been sleeping inclined and waking up with an annoying headache almost every morning. The big kid loving on A2 Friday morning before school (and a sleeping H). They’re both pretty obsessed. Super full lap. Super comfy while I pumped.

How old is your LO: 9 weeks Appointments: I have my “6week” appointment today - ya I really dropped the ball on that one. A had her 2 month immunizations yesterday and did really well. She’s grown 4 inches since birth but is up about a pound over birthweight. (She started off at 9.5lbs so the nurse wasn’t too concerned) Milestones: we’re heading to go see Infinity War tonight and my sister is watching both kids. I’m hoping A does well away from me. Rants/Raves/Vents: I would like for her to be able to nap during the day without me holding her. GTKY:. I can't think of a question, so is there anything you'd like to share? We’re going to see my grandma this weekend for Mother’s Day and I’m excited to see her! Showing off her onesie:

How was Disney with the baby katietopaz? We are going the first week in June and I'm nervous how it's going to go. I think Disney is very baby friendly! I can’t seem to find if you said you’re doing Disney World or Land? DL for sure has baby centers in both parks with air-conditioned areas to nurse or pump, extra baby supplies, changing tables, etc. You can take baby on any rides that don’t have a height requirement, and most rides will let you babywear. I don’t want to overload you with advice, but feel free to ask! Overall I would say just plan to take it slow, even take a break in the middle of the day, and don’t try to do everything.

I will take any advice katietopaz! We are going to Disneyland. It will be Mh and I with both girls (D1 is 3.5), my mom, my sister, her boyfriend, and her 3 kids (12, 9, and 6). My mom and I will probably split away from the group and do some of the younger kid stuff when we are there with D1 and my younger nephew. I'm planning on taking the double stroller as D1 still uses a stroller. I'm also taking my Tula. We are going for 3 days but not doing the park hopper. Unless you think it is worth it to do the park hopper. We aren't staying at a resort so we plan to be there most of the day.

How old is your LO: 2 months
Appointments: 2 month is next week
Milestones: 2 months, tracks objects and people with his eyes, has started moving his arms and legs a lot
Rants/Raves/Vents: OMG the cuteness! I love him so much! And all of yours are so cute too!! He's currently giggling at my toes that are wiggling in front of him lol.
GTKY:. I can't think of a question, so is there anything you'd like to share? Are we not doing size in the check in anymore? I guess that's not something that gets checked weekly anymore.

whatsit that's so interesting about how she grew. She doesn't look skinny but I don't understand how you can gain only a pound in four inches. ETA sweetc129 omg he's long! People say DS is long but nope not compared to your LO lol
