[mrsmonogrammed]

How old is your LO: 9 weeks today!

Appointments: he has his 2m appt on Monday, nothing again until 4 months.

Milestones: he officially passed his big sister- he was 3oz and .5in bigger than she was at 2m old!

Rants/Raves/Vents: The dr prescribed reflux meds for him but he haaaaaates them. Most of it ends up on his chin/jammies. Twice a day🤦🏼‍♀️

GTKY: beach, skiing or hiking?

The beach for sure!

How old is your LO: 9weeks tomorrow

Appointments: 2 month yesterday. She cried so much when she got her shots 😭 They also prescribed some stuff for thrush but I’m 97% sure she doesn’t actually have it and this is a nursing issue.

Milestones: None really - we did prop her up in the sit me up chair and she was OBSESSED. She needs to be sitting up like a big kid at all times - if she feels like she can’t see, she’ll start doing baby crunches to get upright.

Rants/Raves/Vents: Every time I pump, she wakes up to eat immediately after I finish. I’m so frustrated and don’t know how to get a good stash going. I think I have 2-3 days in the freezer but I’d like to have a full week just in case I ever need to do a round of antibiotics that aren’t BFing friendly.

GTKY: beach, skiing or hiking?
BEACH. I do love a great hike though - especially one that ends in awesome vista and then a trip to a winery. I would give anything to just sit on a beach for a few days with a good book and a cold drink. DH and I are planning a big “we don’t have babies” trip in a few years to a resort in the DR.

I hate snow sports so much. They are $$$ and just a big opportunity to end up in an ER. I’m an excellent water skier though!

How old is your LO: 16 weeks tomorrow

Appointments: EEG tomorrow, 4 month appt at the end of June

Milestones: he’s rolled both ways now, but he’s not doing it consistently yet

Rants/Raves/Vents: Baby colds are for the birds. I feel so terrible listening to him cough all night. He’s also refusing his last bottle at daycare, but he’s nursing fine still. His little voice is so raspy and you can hardly hear him cry. And now I caught his cold. Yay.

GTKY: beach, skiing or hiking? 100% beach, all day, every day.

Poof

[polson]

clementine i hope the appointment goes well tomorrow. glad he is still nursing alright - it is so stressful when they are sick. i hope you both feel better soon

[polson]

How old is your LO: 14 weeks

Appointments: just 4 month in july

Milestones: rolling front to back and getting up on side for back to front - she just needs to figure out where to put her arm. we should probably be doing more tummy time. 2nd kid problems and all

Rants/Raves/Vents: she is sleeping so well. i’m hoping to avoid 4 month sleep regression but not holding my breath. i like to think we are getting a break on this front because dd1 was HORRIBLE

GTKY: beach, skiing or hiking? usually none of these things, but if i had to pick hiking. i’m assuming we’re talking vacations here and i like to walk and eat. h and i have actually been thinking about a beach one as soon as we are able because it just sounds nice after the last few years with babies and stuff. but probably 2 day max. i am just not a beach person.

[alwayscheese]

How old is your LO: 3 months

Appointments: I get my IUD on Friday. If she can get it in. :/

Milestones: I clipped his fingernails? LOL he's actually trying to roll now. He hadn't even turned sideways until last week. Also starting to grab things. Anything by his face gets pushed toward his mouth.

Rants/Raves/Vents: we NEED a schedule. I think both of us miss it. And not baby related but I missed my appt to get allergy testing done so now I have to wait and do the miserable days without meds all over again.

GTKY: beach, skiing or hiking? I mean, all of them!!! Well, snowboarding not skiing.

[cornpop]

How old is your LO:
12w Friday

Appointments:
4m in July

Milestones:
She rolls front to back pretty well.

Rants/Raves/Vents:
I really, really, really do not want to go back to work.

GTKY: beach, skiing or hiking?
Beach

[snowmoon]

How old is your LO: 2.5 months...11 weeks?

Appointments:4 month in July

Milestones: she's giggled a few times.

Rants/Raves/Vents: We're still dealing with a few lingering allergy symptoms. I've cut out milk, soy, grains (though I don't suspect them to be causing issues, but elininated to see), beef and eggs. She grunts and strains before having liquid, mucousy poop. All of the fussiness, congestion and vomiting is gone.

GTKY: beach, skiing or hiking?
Hiking, beach and skiing in that order though the beach is significantly less fun/more stressful with kids in tow.

[mintyblueair]

How old is your LO: 10 weeks

Appointments: 4 month check in August

Milestones: she's had four nights in a row of 10-11 hours straight... I'm hoping it stays like this but it probably won't lol.

Rants/Raves/Vents: my phone completely crapped out so I have no new pictures to share... New phone is on the way though!

GTKY: beach, skiing or hiking?

Hiking! I love hiking and find it so relaxing.

[stardust84]

How old is your LO: 11.5 weeks

Appointments: eye appointment and 4 month check up in July

Milestones: starting to giggle, almost out of 0-3 month clothes

Rants/Raves/Vents: I had some sort of stomach bug the other day and I have no idea where I got it. I will spare you all from the details but it was awful

GTKY: beach, skiing or hiking? Beach and then skiing. I grew up skiing every weekend in the winter from the age of 2 but prefer the warm weather.

Poof

[woodenshoes]

How old is your LO: 3 months...I think 14 weeks...I apparently quit counting weeks once he hit 3 months.

Appointments: none until mid July

Milestones: He is getting close to rolling back to belly. He has hated tummy time but yesterday when he was on his belly he was pushing up really and kind of happy.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I am doing a baby steps photo package with our photographer. We took L’s 3 month photos yesterday. I can’t wait to get them back. He smiled a lot.

GTKY: beach, skiing or hiking? The beach or hiking.

[sunshinedaisies]

How old is your LO: 3 months / 14 weeks?

Appointments: 4 months

Milestones: almost done with 3 month clothing (definitely the sleepers). And we are about to size out of size 1 diapers once we are done with this bag.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I think we are FINALLY done with this cold. We all got sick right before we left on vacation two weeks ago and I think we are all finally done with it.

GTKY: beach, skiing or hiking?
I love them all! I live by the beach and it’s my happy place. But I love snowboarding and find hiking to be fun.

A few pictures from vacation:

Poof!

[katietopaz]

How old is your LO: 11 weeks tomorrow

Appointments: follow-up soon on the cough/cold bug and breathing treatments

Milestones: Suuuuper close to giggles! Also, he slept the longest he's ever slept last night and I'm terrified of jinxing it. And the not-so-far-off 4m sleep regression.

Rants/Raves/Vents: This kid. Even with the shenanigans we're putting him through with the breathing treatments, saline spray, making sure his circ doesn't reattach...he's just so happy and sweet, and settles so quickly. I'm still in shock at how different it is from when DS1 was a baby.

GTKY: beach, skiing or hiking? I a Grinch, but none of the above? I don't like doing things that make me sweaty. To be fair, I've never skiied, but I'd be open to trying that at least?

[cp3]

How old is your LO: 12 weeks. Omg when did that happen?!

Appointments: had a cardiologist appt today and everything checked out. 4 month appt next month.

Milestones: first airplane ride and Disneyland trip

Rants/Raves/Vents: she did amazing on the trip. She slept on the plane for the most part and when she was awake she was talking away to the flight attendant. Everyone kept commenting how calm and easy she is.

GTKY: beach, skiing or hiking? I've never been skiing because I'm afraid of falling and don't have the best balance. I would say the beach. We went to the beach yesterday and it was fun but so much harder with two small kids. And omg so much sand. I'm still finding sand in the baby's rolls today.

A few pics from vacation.

Poof

[gldnbearz]

How old is your LO: 11 weeks on Friday

Appointments: none until 4 months in August

Milestones: moved into size 2 diapers, 3-6 months sleepers

Rants/Raves/Vents: Rave - EBF continues to go well for us. Rant - I have way too many size 1 diapers that I can't exchange and is taking up a lot of space. Vent - clean laundry continues to pile up as this kiddo loves to nap on me after feeding and I don't get much done.

GTKY: beach, skiing or hiking?
Hiking because I don't know how to ski and don't care for the cold. I also can't swim and don't like getting sand everywhere.

[sweetc129]

How old is your LO: 3m1w

Appointments: None soon. He weighs in around 14.8lbs per home scale

Milestones: Same as last week, starting to laugh and keeps rolling on side.

Rants/Raves/Vents: He keeps scratching his face up and everyday I try and file his nails. Baby nails are like razor blades.

GTKY: beach, skiing or hiking? I use to be a huge skier but nowadays I’d rather lay my lazy butt on the beach.

[auri]

How old is your LO: 10 weeks old

Appointments: August 6th for 4 month checkup

Milestones: About to move up to size one diapers. I have a few newborns left, then we're switching.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I seriously am wishing I took my parents up on the offer of watching DD for the summer. She is driving me crazy. Yesterday she decided to cut her hair while I was feeding J and she was literally climbing the walls. She figured out how to climb up the door casings...it's like I have Spider-man in my house.

GTKY: beach, skiing or hiking? Beach! I've been skiing once and sorta hit a tree (not hard) because my cousins didn't teach me to stop. Hiking I don't really like because I don't like bugs...we have a lot of mosquitoes and ticks here that don't really care if you put bug spray on.

[Rama]

How old is your LO: 3m Sunday

Appointments: 4m in July

Milestones: She is just cool to chill sometimes

Rants/Raves/Vents: Lyra rolled off the couch this week. I was just around the corner and I left her there because she was playing nicely. Then the next thing I heard was a noise like a hardboiled egg being dropped and crying. Called H in hysterics and managed to get a samw-day ped appointment. She's perfectly fine, but I'm traumatized as fuck.

GTKY: beach, skiing or hiking? Depends on which beach. Gulf? Hell yes. Thw coast here? I'd prefer a hike.

[polson]

glad she was alright Rama!
