Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 2 weeks today!

Baby is the size of a: he was 7lb 9oz at his appointment on Monday

Appointments: next Monday for follow up on breastmilk jaundice

Symptoms: tired, sore nips

Milestones: first day alone with 2 kids today!

Rants/Raves/Vents: H was soooo good about waking up MOTN the first week when he was off but now that he’s back to work he’s much more cranky😑

GTKY:. Do you have any irrational fears?
Losing control of the car while driving on a bridge/ramp. Oh, and nighttime with an unpredictable newborn😬

[tinyjoys]

I am 99% sure I'm the last pregnant.

Weeks pregnant: 38+4

Baby is the size of a: pomeranian

Appointments: last NST & OB appointments tomorrow. Delivery is Tuesday, unless she decides to come sooner (Sunday is a great option, too, Little Miss!)

Symptoms: reflux and sore.

Milestones: none I can think of.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm side-eying my MIL a lot right now, but I'm turning her annoyance into a positive & just checked her, BIL & SIL's Christmas gifts off instead.

ETA: MIL has spent the last 15 years I've been in a relationship with H telling us that aunt has FIL's late mom's recipes and won't share, blah blah blah... H has been talking about his grandma's barbecue sauce a lot lately, so I messaged the aunt over the weekend about it and she sent it my way no questions asked & within a few hours. H mentioned it to MIL this morning and she's all "OH! I have grandma's recipe box with all her handwritten recipes in it! Don't tell aunt!".

So, H is getting the recipe box and I'm making them all recipe books from Shutterfly with family pictures and whatnot in them.

GTKY:. Spiders.

Baby bump at 38+3 (yesterday)

[mattsgirl2004]

How old is your LO:
3 weeks old today.

Baby is the size of a:
Not sure, but he's officially outgrown his newborn clothes. 😣

Appointments:
He has his one month appointment in a week and a half

Milestones:
He shows some good head support when we hold him on our chests.

Rants/Raves/Vents:
My kid eats on every 2-2.5 hours round the clock. He eats so much. This isn't really a rant or a rave. It just seems like all I do is feed him.

GTKY:. Do you have any irrational fears?
Bridges scare me, especially driving over them.
Also, birds. They terrify me.


Sneak peek at R's newborn pics. 😍 Can't wait to see the rest!

[cornpop]

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO:
1 month!

Baby is the size of a:
8lbs 12oz and 21.5"

Appointments:
Not until she's 2 months

GTKY:. Do you have any irrational fears?
Clowns. And while technically not a fear, I have a strong aversion to wet paper.

And now picture spam from Noelle's newborn shoot\

Poof

[polson]

😍😍😍all of these newborn pictures are so gorgeous!

mrsmonogrammed i don’t think fearing overnights wit a newborn is the least bit irrational!

[cp3]

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 5 weeks

Baby is the size of a: I'm hoping she finally hit 8 lbs

Appointments: 6 week pp appt next week, baby 2 month May 17th

Symptoms: same old-so much spit up

And two symptoms I lucked out and never got while pregnant but have now: hemorrhoids and constipation. It is so annoying.

Milestones: social smiles! Especially for her big sister. And she is starting to make baby talk.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm going to give up dairy and see if that helps with the spit up. She has a few of the other symptoms of a dairy allergy kellymom lists so I'm going to see if it improves before her 2 month appt. Otherwise I'm going to ask for reflux meds.

GTKY:. Do you have any irrational fears?

Yes, I am terrified of escalators. I cannot go down them. I try whenever I'm around one but have a small anxiety attack and can't so I have to do stairs or elevator.

Poof

[cp3]

I love all the newborn pics! And I'm a bit jealous. Ours were 4 weeks ago this past Monday and I don't have them yet.

[cp3]

I feel you on feeling like I'm constantly feeding baby and everything revolves around that mattsgirl2004. I feed her and then shower and eat while she is content and wait to leave the house to run errands after she is just fed. Any housework and chores are done after she eats until she is hungry again so I feel like I never get any down time.

[sunshinedaisies]

Omg I’m dying at the newborn photos!! mrsmonogrammed, mattsgirl2004, cornpop!! They are all so adorable!

tinyjoys, hope baby is here soon for you but at least you have a for sure end date and it’s soooo close now!

Appointments: we have his 2 month appointment in 2 weeks

Milestones: lots of smiles, holding his head up like a champ

Rants/Raves/Vents: so many highs and lows. L slept through the night (with a dream feeding that I initiated at 4 am) two nights ago and then last night he was up every 90 minutes to 2 hours. Consistency please?!?!?

GTKY:. Do you have any irrational fears?
Don’t think so but I am finicky about food. Like I don’t do cold sandwiches. They have to be hot.

Yes. This is my life right now too. It gets better as they get older, but it's hard when you're in the thick of it.

[clementine]

Baby is the size of a: 12 lb 2 oz, 24.25 in long!

Symptoms: a little extra fussy today from his shots yesterday. As for me, boobs are engorged again all of a sudden?

This is exactly my plan of attack each day. Basically our whole schedule revolves around when he eats🙃

[ArielMermaid]

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 3 days

Baby is the size of a: roughly 6lb baby

Appointments: tomorrow

Symptoms: my nips are fucked right up.

Milestones: First at home sponge bath today.

Rants/Raves/Vents: this kid swims in newborn clothes and diapers!

[katietopaz]

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 4 weeks tomorrow

Baby is the size of a: I’m guessing he’s coming up on 10 lbs. He is a CHUNK

Appointments: Nothing till my 6-week and M’s 2-month

Symptoms: I think he has a dairy sensitivity. He seems to be fussier and gassier when I’ve had dairy, though thankfully not as bad as my older DS.

Milestones: Made it to our first MOPS! And showing lots of head/neck strength already.

Rants/Raves/Vents: Honestly, we’re doing okay. He nurses frequently (every 1-2 hours still) but he’s efficient and just generally a happy baby. I’ll take it for as long as it lasts, because DS1 was just...so high needs and fussy, out the gate.

GTKY:. Do you have any irrational fears? Mostly bugs, especially the kind that bite or sting.

Those eyes 😍



PDQ - This was DS1’s coming home outfit. They actually look similar to me here!

poof

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 3 weeks

Baby is the size of a: 7lb 6 oz...back to birth weight

Appointments: J and Dd both have dr appointments on Tuesday at the same time. I’m hoping I’m not going to regret that decision.

Symptoms:

Milestones: J went for his first sick appointment Friday...he has Thrush. I thought it was all cleared up last night, but then I found some on the roof of his mouth.

Rants/Raves/Vents:

GTKY:. Do you have any irrational fears? I’m afraid of sharks.

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 1 month yesterday!

Baby is the size of a: She weighed in at 11lbs 4oz yesterday. Tubba tubba.

Appointments: 2 weeks from now for our discharge from midwifery care. I'm having feelings about it because I LOVE our midwives.

Symptoms: Spits up a ton but doesn't seem to be too bothered by it anymore. She's totally smiling and talking to us already.

Milestones: 1 month old.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I felt really sure that we'd be done with two. But now I'm not. I want all the babies forever and ever.

GTKY:. Do you have any irrational fears?
I don't think I do!
*poof*

[woodenshoes]

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 7 weeks

Baby is the size of a: at least 12 lbs

Appointments: next week is his 2 month appointment

Symptoms: I am doing pretty good. Just a little overwhelmed at times

Milestones: starting to smile, he slept through the night last night

Rants/Raves/Vents: L STTN last night I woke up at 3:30 and struggled falling back to sleep. Since I had GD I had to do another GTT to see if I have Type II diabetes. I passed my fasting was 2 points over which is a reminder I need to be healthier.

GTKY:. Do you have any irrational fears? Not that I can think of. I don’t like heights, snakes, bats, and other creepy crawls

[sweetc129]

How old is your LO: 7 weeks

Baby is the size of a: 10lbs14oz

Milestones: Smiles

Rants/Raves/Vents: like the last two times I had babies I went hyperthyroid so my Endo is lowering my meds. This sucks because while hyper I need less sleep and high metabolism. Wish I could stay like this, but it’s frowned upon.

GTKY:. Do you have any irrational fears? Heights

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 7 week’s

Baby is the size of a: almost 9lbs I’d guess.

Appointments: I have an u/s for my bleeding tomorrow. I’m sure it’s just my dr being cautious

Symptoms: this kid is the nosiest sleeper.

Milestones: he is growing out of his newborn sleepers.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I love the RnP so hard.

GTKY:. Do you have any irrational fears? Mice. Ugh.

[Rama]

katietopaz We have the same onesie, it's one of my favorites!


How old is your LO: 6w on Saturday

Baby is the size of a: probably a couple oz over 10lbs?

Appointments: I have my 6w pp on Monday, probably set up Lyra's 2m then

Milestones: I'm loving her protoconversations and she's still working on getting those smiles going.

Rants/Raves/Vents: My baby flipped tummy to back today during tummy time. TWICE. I'm still in complete denial, even though I know it's pretty much coincidence at this point.

GTKY: Do you have any irrational fears? That people I care about are just going to up and leave me suddenly and without reason. I think that's pretty standard anxiety fare, though.


Pic from her 1 month picture on the 17th and this morning after diaper change! Also, comparison between in the hospital and the other day, wearing the same onesie.

[snowmoon]

Rama omg. That second picture. She's so sweet!

[cornpop]

leatherpants good luck with the ultrasound. I hope it's nothing.

[mattsgirl2004]

[mattsgirl2004]

Baby is the size of a: 8lbs3oz, 20.25in

Appointments: today, all good

Symptoms: I think she doesn’t tolerate my milk well when I’ve had too much milk. Some dairy seems fine but a hard no to a straight glass of milk.

Milestones: much better focusing/tracking, better latch, more efficient nursing.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I can’t find a damn nursing bra that fits.

GTKY:. Do you have any irrational fears? Basements - I’m always a little nervous some psycho has moved into mine without me knowing.

[alwayscheese]

Baby's size: 12lb 6oz -kid gained 14oz in the last 8 days!

Appointments: Monday for my 6 week and then on a couple weeks for his 2 month

GTKY:. Do you have any irrational fears? I like to think all my fears are rational 😉
