And I just gave away my pregnancy pillow and a bunch of maternity clothes. Bye bye clutter.

ajetter G was born with a full head of dark hair. She didn’t lose any of it. She is 2 1/2, has had three haircuts and her hair is passed her shoulders. It’s also curly which is new territory for me. My hair is pin straight. I know babies losing their hair is common but it still looks weird.

flippinchica, I'm wondering if the same thing might happen to us. We already know DD has a ton of hair and I'm wondering if she'll get DH's hair (his mom is Korean and he definitely has "Asian hair")! E has light colored, more fine hair (but lots of it).

DS1 had minimal blonde hair and DS2 has lots of dark hair. So weird. same with my DDs! DD1 was super bald/fair/light hair. And DD2 has darker more olive skin and has a decent amount of dark hair

I haven’t cried the past 2 days!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻 And my night time anxiety is almost completely gone. I’m hoping it stays away now and my body has somewhat regulated the raging hormones.

amesie sorry for the rough night, hopefully the girls were easy on you today! Today has been super chill. We went to the doctors this morning and they are going to send us for an ultrasound just to rule out pyloric stenosis but since he's gained 2 pounds the doctor doesn't think it's it. And of course on doctor day he's gone every single feed today without vilifying. No complaints though, a much needed break from the million baby wipe baths I've been taking everyday! MH is picking D up from daycare and returning with some Friday evening beverages for us 🙌🏻

It could be absolutely nothing but I'm having a bit of diarrhea this evening. Doc told me to go in if I get contractions 10 min apart (plus a bunch of other things to look out for/come in if I notice) so I feel like I'm going to be on high alert tonight.

Guys, MH rocks! He came home from work earlier than expected. As soon as he settled in he sent me to take a nap. Then he went to get dinner and did bedtime with G. A responsibility free nap totally revived me. I love him.

I’m sooooo tired. I’m nursing DS & going to bed super early. Letting MIL snuggle him until she and DH both go to bed. Hopefully I’ll get a 4 hour stretch.

I took DD to the Dr today for what I thought would be just a weight check, but since she is 8w2d actual it was time for the 2month shots :S. She was not impressed with those, and has been brutally cranky since. On the plus side, she has gained 450g in 15 days for a grand total of 2850g or 6lbs 4.5 oz.

Maybe...I had been holding out on introducing the pacifier but i just did and it's amazing!!! He's no longer on my boob for the moment. Even if it's just for a little while I'm happy to have some non-boob time. Paci FTW!

Faith has gained 5 ounces between our weight check on Monday afternoon and our weight check this afternoon! Her coloring is evening out (less yellow and red) and the doctor says she looks good but wants us to come back in a week for another growth check since she is gaining on the slow side. We are still feeding on demand and supplementing with formula.
Our photographer agreed to wear a mask and gloves and we are getting our newborn pictures done tomorrow morning (with the doctor's blessing with precautions). It took me awhile to figure out what to wear, my maternity clothes are too big but my belly is still soft and poochy so I need to be careful with what pre-pregnancy tops I wear because they cling in weird spots.

I developed flu symptoms today including fever. I contacted the dr and she's sure I've contracted with the boys had. Quick, someone take my baby out of this! He's on his last dose of tamiflu and DH is no longer contagious. Just call us the tamiflu family. Haha. Just gotta laugh at our luck.

Hi!!!!
It was my last day in the office today. I'm officially on leave of absence. YAY. I could sing. The other EA took me out to lunch and gave me a very generous little gift from her and my boss, which was very nice.
I fell outside today in the driveway. Our driveway has ragged edges where it meets the grass and I slipped off of the driveway somehow and fell. I caught myself on my hands and knees, so I didn't fall on my belly at all, but I feel a little sore in my stomach (probably from trying to use muscles). Baby girl is moving just fine, no weird things going on, so I should be ok, right?
My goal for next week at home is to get all the rest of my Accounting homework done for the course so that I can relax and not worry about doing schoolwork when baby girl gets here!

Hand all parenting duties to DH now that he's not contagious to limit your interaction and maybe wear a mask whenever you are feeding/around the baby? HUGS!

benandjerrys I am so sorry your first PP beverage was such a wash out! I have tons of bottles of wine waiting for me. All are in my wine "cellar" hahaha (a small pantry in our basement). I do have one bottle of wine in the fridge that's been there since June, but it was never uncorked. I'm reaaaally looking forward to a glass. Also, if you are a wine fan, I have a couple bottles of wine from a certain local vineyard that is no longer in business.. well I personally only have 1 Stardust left, but I think my mom has a bottle of Stardust and a bottle of Summer Solstice that I'm sure I can get her to part with

Sorry about the fall sunfrogger. I’d definitely just keep an eye on her movements and call if anything feels out of the ordinary. Also, if you don’t mind me asking how do you get so much leave time. I know we’re due at the same time and I still have 3 weeks left.

Sorry about your fall, sunfrogger! When I fell a couple weeks ago, I woke up the next two days feeling like I’d done a hardcore workout. Every muscle hurt. But I also fell quite hard and didn’t save myself at all. Very graceful. Hopefully your soreness goes away quickly!

I’m sorry you caught the flu, jessijean. I hope the baby manages to avoid it and you just have a quick bout.
