How old is baby? Siblings?
How big is baby? Clothing/diaper size?
How are your day? Working? On leave? SAH?
How are your nights?
New skills or milestones?
Name One thing you are looking forward to.

How old is baby? 4 months next week
Siblings?
DS1 is 2.5
How big is baby? No idea no weigh ins since his 2 month appointment. Will let you know next week
Clothing/diaper size?
Mostly 6-9 month clothes. Size 2 diapers
How are your days? I have been back to work for 6 months. Mostly pretty good but pumping is a pain. All the LLL people talk about how BFing saves so much money though I feel like I spend a lot on pump stuff
]How are your nights?
Hit or miss. Some nights he wakes up once and others every 2 hours. Not looking forward to the 4 month regression
]New skills or milestones? Holding head up better. Rolls onto his side and he has found his thumb
Name One thing you are looking forward to. we have grocery carts with 2 seats at our usual store and I'm excited for the two boys to sit side by side. Also we are planning a trip for July to nola and to my parents house.

I’ll play.
The baby is 4 months old and his big sister will be 3 on Sunday.
He is in size 3 diapers and 6 months clothes
I am working part time. I work in the evenings most of the time.
Nights are awesome. He sleeps from around 7pm-6:30am
I love how excited he gets when he sees his bottle. He is also very giggly and responsive when we talk to him.
I am looking forward to the end of bottles. Only 8 more months but who’s counting. Lol

DS is 11 weeks today. He's 12 lbs and is in size 1 diapers and 0 to 3 month clothes, although I think we'll be moving up sizes for both soon!
At night he normally eats at 11, 430, 7, and then up for the day at 9ish. He's good at eating and going back to sleep quickly!
He rolls over from tummy to back and loves to smile. I can't wait for baby giggles!
I go back to work next Friday and I am dreading it...I have loved being home with him! I am also surprised at how much I like breastfeeding and I will miss it when I'm at work. I'm nervous about pumping and will most likely need to supplement some with formula.

How old is baby? Siblings? DS is 3.5 months & his big sis will be THREE on Friday! 😭😭
How big is baby? Clothing/diaper size? I’m guessing somewhere between 15-16 lbs. He wears 9mo & 12mo clothes & size 2 diapers.
How are your day? Working? On leave? SAH? I work part time— I teach at a homeschool co-op twice a week. Otherwise I’m SAHM! We try to keep busy with fun stuff & we go to the park ALL THE FRIGGEN TIME.
How are your nights? Pretty good— DS has one wake up usually, somewhere between 2-4am. Then he wakes up to poop around 6-7 and lays there chatting for awhile before “getting up” around 8z
New skills or milestones? He is SO chatty lately and trying to gag himself with his hands lol. I’m nervous he will start cutting teeth soon.
Name One thing you are looking forward to. I can’t wait for him to sit up! DD loves playing with him but it’s hard when he just lays there.

How old - M will be 4 months this week! DS1 turned 3 a couple weeks ago 😫
How big- haven’t weighed in a while but will let you know next week at vaccinations. I’m guessing around 15 lbs. We are in size 2 diapers and 6 month clothes
Days are good. I’m still on maternity leave until next January but I work at the same time for about 4 hours or so a day.
Nights are usually okay. He’s in his basssinet beside our bed now and usually sleeping from about 730-8 to 530 and then back to bed until 8. But we’ve had some rough nights the past 2 weeks so we’re thinking the 4 month regression might be upon us
New milestones- rolling, baby giggles and just general babbling. He is SO vocal and will actually have a “conversation” with anyone who cares to talk to him. He is currently biting alllllll the things so I’m scared he’s teething
I’m really looking forward to him being able to hold his own bottle. It’s such a game changer when that happens. Also when he can sit up unassisted for longer amounts of time

How old is baby? Siblings? She is 9 weeks. Big brother will be four in less than a month.
How big is baby? Clothing/diaper size? She was 12 lbs nine oz at her appointment last week. She just moved to size 2 diapers and is in a mix of 3 or 6 months clothes
How are your day? Working? On leave? SAH?
I go to back to work when baby is six months old at the beginning of the new school year (teacher). I am really enjoying being home, my almost four year old is definitely the more challenging. He goes to school two days a week and it’s less stressful on those days.
How are your nights? They have definitely gotten better. She gets up between 2-3 usually and then around 5 or 6.
New skills or milestones? Smiling and cooing a lot more. Is more content to lay on her play mat.
Name One thing you are looking forward to.
Going to where my family is from next weekend for my brother and SIL gender reveal party.

I mean, I'll play 😊
O is 2mo old as of Saturday and 9w old on Wed, when our first round of vax is. Her big sister E is 2.5 at the end of May.
O is roughly 14#, in size 2 diapers and size 6mo clothes.
I'm on leave still until 5/28 when I go back to work. Then I'll be taking a PTO every other week until the end of July to manage our child care before they start back at their preschool / daycare.
Lol at nights. I'm still not convinced that we don't have some kind of dairy issue. I'm on day 3 of my second attempt. I did cook with butter tonight in the tomato sauce but I had very very little sauce with my pasta. So. Last night she had a very upset belly and a blowout while I was rocking her at like 3am. Today, we had like no spit up at all and great burp /gas. She takes probiotics 1x a day and gas drops 2x/day and I'm starting to eliminate dairy. After a couple wks I'll add it back in. I like to bake. So. Anyway. On a good night I get a 5hr stretch and then 2hr stretches until 630/645 when she wakes up. On a bad night... It's every hour.
So, she started playing with her voice today! She's been cooing at me for the last like two weeks. We have "gab" sessions. She also will stick her tongue out at me. But today she looked at me and shrieked! I couldn't get her to do it again though. It was ADORABLE and I forgot how fun milestones are.
I'm really looking forward to being out of the 4th trimester. Then the fun starts to begin. I'm ready for her to be like 4-5mo old already. I'm really not a newborn phase fan. I'm also really ready to send my toddler to preschool. She's going right into the 3s room when she goes back. What I am NOT ready for is work. I'm not thrilled to be going back, the other admin in my group got a new job so I'm going to be suuuupeer cockblocked by management on advancing. Ugh. Once my MBA is done, ✌🏻️

Yay! It's so hard to keep track so I love this! Joel is 3 months and a few days. DD will be 3 in June. He's huge. He was 15 lbs at his 2 mo appt, not sure how much now. He's outgrowing some 3-6 mo stuff so he will be in 9 mo stuff shortly. I'm SAH ***Whispers*** they're pretty amazing. He was sttn consistently. The last 2 weeks or so he has a cold and wakes up sometime around 4 but goes back down easily after nursing. He's giggled twice which is adorable. He deliberately grabs rings on his playmat I'm looking forward to two naps a day. This 5-20 minutes nap every 2 HR thing is for the birds. |

dragonflyinn we go to the park a ton too. The town closed the playground for three weeks, we are in the middle of those three weeks right now. THIS IS PRIME PARK WEATHER. I'm annoyed. I mean it is nice that they are fixing some things up but cmon.

How old is baby? Siblings?
DD2 turned 4 months last Wednesday. DD1 will be 3 in the middle of July
How big is baby? Clothing/diaper size?
She has her 4 month appointment tomorrow so I’ll find out for sure. The last time she was weighed was at 9 weeks and she was just over 13 lbs so I’m thinking 16 lbs? She’s in 3-6 mo and 6 mo clothing and size 2 diapers but I think she will be moving up to 3s when I buy again
How are your day? Working? On leave? SAH?
I went back to work when she was 9 weeks on March 1 so I’ve been back a while now. I’m definitely back into a groove there and not feeling so guilty about being away from my girls.
How are your nights?
Same as they’ve been for a while. Up every 3 hours to eat most nights with a 4-5 hour stretch thrown in about once a week.
New skills or milestones?
She’s rolling belly to back consistently and is close to back to belly. She loves laughing and is so smiley. And we tried baby oatmeal last night which she loved.
Name One thing you are looking forward to.
I second some of those mentioned above. Definitely can’t wait for her to sit unassisted and also to hold her own bottle. Daycare already has her on a two nap a day schedule so that’s good.

How old is baby? Siblings? Dd2 is 3 months and a few days, and DD1 will be 3 in a week!!
How big is baby? Clothing/diaper size? Unofficial weight was 14.5lb last week. She’s in a mix of 6mo and 9mo clothing and size 3 diapers
How are your day? Working? On leave? SAH? I’m technically still on leave I guess? I’m only per diem so I can work when I want. I plan on only going back 1 day a week to start which is pretty much my ideal. I keep scheduling myself for shifts but things keep happening on the work side of things that’s preventing me from starting. It’s been super frustrating.
How are your nights? I don’t want to speak of it.... buuuuuut great. She goes to bed around 7-730, wakes up between 5-6 to eat and then usually goes back down for another hour or 2. Sometimes she’s up for the day at 6 but not always.
New skills or milestones? I’m prrrretty sure she’s teething. She was tugging at her ear a couple days ago and is now doing this weird thing with her tongue. And drooling a ton and everrrrything is going in the mouth. DD1 had 4 teeth at 4mo, as did MH and I as well. So it’s very possible she’s teething.
Name One thing you are looking forward to: I’m excited for her to be able to sit up. I feel like she’s at this stage where she’s frustrated by laying down and wants to sit up to grab toys, but doesn’t have the control or strength yet.

How old is baby? Siblings?
10 weeks on wednesday.
DS1 is 23 months.
How big is baby? Clothing/diaper size?
15 lbs, 24 in at his appt two weeks ago.
He’s wearing 2 diapers (3s at my parents house since they have a lot leftover from DS1 and they seem to work fine).
Clothes are 6-9 months in various brands.
How are your days? Working? On leave? SAH?
I was supposed to go back today, but there was a power outage, so tomorrow I’m back in the classroom. Really looking forward to it, though I think I’m going to be pretty tired as DS2 and I usually take a nap from around 8-10 in the morning. That two hour sleep epilogue to my night has been a lifesaver!
How are your nights?
Not bad. He sleeps for 5-6 hour chunks pretty often, though he still regularly has nights that are more like 3-4 hours af a time.
The real issue is bedtime. He tends to start his long sleep from around midnight or later. I prefer he move that back to around ten and then I’d be golden for work (gift horse in the mouth at fhis age, I suppose).
New skills or milestones?
He smiles a ton. His self-soothing is pretty good.
Name One thing you are looking forward to.
My kids being ten years older.
Kidding! (Kind of).

Love check ins.
Baby T is 11 weeks. DD1 is 20 months.
She was 9lbs 5oz at her 2 month appt. (she started at 6lbs6oz) She’s in 3 month clothes and finishing up size 1s.
I work full time and this my second week back. I WFH Monday’s and Friday’s, which is awesome. The Little’s go to a sitter for half days so I get to see them when H gets out in the afternoons.
Nights are pretty damn good considering I thought my DD1 was nocturnal. 😂 In bed between 6/6:30pm normally sleeps 8+ hours then awake 3-4 hrs after that.
She really is good at smiling and enjoys the SMU for long periods of time.
I’m looking forward to her being able to hold her head up.
Personally, I turn 30 this weekend have some fun plans coming up. 🍷

How old is baby? Almost 14 weeks
How big is baby? Clothing/diaper size? We are in between appointments, but I would guess about 12 pounds and 23-24 inches. 3 month sleepers are getting to short but 3 month pants still fit pretty good. Size 2 diapers are a smidge too big but Size 1s are too small.
How are your day? Working? On leave? SAH? Back to work and I'm glad I work from home. DH is still out of work so he takes care of Faith during the day so she isn't in day care yet.
How are your nights? Rough (by my standards). We were down to one wake up a few weeks ago and we are back up to 2-3. I'm not sure she is hungry when she wakes up because she frequently nurses herself back to sleep in about 5-6 minutes on one side but she is too little to cry it out.
New skills or milestones? Starting to reach for toys when she is on her back on the play mat (they hang low) but not all the time. She is rolling to her side and rotating her body 90-180 degrees as she kicks and squirms. She still hates tummy time and no signs of rolling over yet.
Name One thing you are looking forward to. I just need her to get back to one overnight wake up... I can deal with that.

aprilz81 4 month sleep regression!! Some babies hit it early or not at all (my DD didn’t 🙌🏼🙌🏼). Hopefully just a few weeks before your girl is back to her sweet sleepy self! Her sleep is all over the place. A few weeks ago she was just cat napping all day (an hour if we were lucky) but would sleep good at night. Now she is sleeping a lot better during the day (sometimes for too long) and then like crap at night. We are trying to work on her going to sleep for the night in her crib around 8-9 instead of midnight and not letting her sleep for 4 hours in the afternoon and see if that helps... I'm hoping it is just an early 4 month sleep regression and will be over soon. If this isn't it and I have to deal with this PLUS the regression I might just lose my shit. |

How old is baby? 3.5 months. I don’t know how many weeks anymore lol! 15/16 I think Siblings? DS will be 5 in early July DD1 will be 3 in early June How big is baby? Clothing/diaper size? She hasn’t had an appt since 2 months, so would guess 16ish pounds? She feels super heavy haha. 6M clothes and size 2 diapers, both which she is nearing the end of soon I think. How are your day? Working? On leave? SAH? SAH. The 3 month mark happened and it was like a switch turned and my new normal started to feel way more normal suddenly. How are your nights? Meh, ok most nights. I bedshare with her so just wake up enough to adjust myself. Most of the time she doesn’t get too fidgety until early morning. New skills or milestones? She is sooo close to rolling from back to tummy! Awake a lot, happy to just sit up on my lap and watch everyone. She’ll be sitting on her own soon too I’m sure! Started putting her in exersaucers for little bits of time to keep her busy while I do things. Name One thing you are looking forward to. I like bedsharing for the first part, but do like when we get them settled into their own room and have a better nighttime routine. This is what works for us at the start though so I don’t want to force it. Also looking forward to her sitting up solo because I know that’s a gamechanger as far as some independence goes, without being able to run away on you yet  On personal levels, H is a vice principal and with me SAH, we have summers together which is awesome. We do lots of camping and lake days and I just got our football weekend booked, it’s all good! |

Baby is 3.5 months, DD1 is 2.5 years.
Not sure her current weight, but wearing 6 month clothes, size 3 diapers.
Currently SAH. DD1 does morning daycare 3 days a week. Baby E is very easy going, DD1 is going through very difficult terrible twos. I think we’re gradually doing better though!
Can’t complain about nights. They both usually sleep through, although the past two nights baby has woken at 3 to nurse.
Baby E has recently gotten really good at tummy time! No rolling yet. And she is a very smiley baby, a little ball of sunshine. 😊
Looking forward to when she can use her hands more deliberately to play with things.

3 months old today! Big brother turned 2 a few weeks ago.
Not sure his weight, but I'd guess around 13 lbs. He can still wear 3 month clothes in the brands that run big and has moved on to 6m in the smaller brands. Size 1 diapers for day and size 2 for at night.
I'm a SAH but I have a babysitter and teach Pure Barre and tutor about 10 hours a week. Days are awesome right now with teaching/taking barre, taking the boys to play places and parks, and playing in the backyard with the new swingset we got for DS1's bday. Life is about to change though with hyperbaric and surgery coming up for DS1.
Pretty good. He usually does a 4 hour stretch in the RNP and then we co-sleep the rest of the night.
He can roll belly-to-back and spin around when on his back. He is grabbing toys and "talking" a ton all of the sudden. He has great head/neck control.
When he can go in the exersaucer!

How old is baby? 15 weeks
Siblings? DS1 is 3.
How big is baby? I think about 15-16 pounds? He hasn't had his 4 month appt yet. He is wearing 6 mo clothing for the most part, but some 3 and 9 months too. Size 3 diaper.
How are your day? Working? On leave? SAH? I work and H is staying at home for now. It's going ok. I like my work but I wish I had more time at home. I also feel imbalanced, like H has a lot more home-responsibilities than me. He's not resentful but he complains a lot and I feel guilty. Hopefully he will go back to work in a few months.
How are your nights?
They were good - 1 wake up at 4am to eat and then awake at 6. But poor baby has had a cold and the past few nights and he has been up to eat 3 or 4 times with paci pops in between. I hope he will go back to his 1 wake up!!
New skills or milestones?
He grabs at toys, smiles and coos a lot, giggles, has great head control. No rolling and hates tummy time!
Name One thing you are looking forward to.
The weekend when I can snuggle my babies!!!
