Baby will not sleep anywhere at night but next to me in bed. So I’m cosleeping which I am not cut out for, but it’s the only way I get rest. We are doing swaddle and white noise... someone please tell me this is just a phase! Any other “tricks” I should try? This is us too, totally cosleeping half the night with her latched onto my boob. If I try to put her elsewhere it’s not long before she’s up and fussing. Of the 5 S’s, we’re doing swaddle, white noise, pacifier (hit or miss), and rocking her in the rock n play. Those cute little hiccups are the bane of my existence because I know as soon as she settles, 5 min later they’ll wake her up.

When DD gets them I know it'll be at least twenty minutes for them to stop, then who knows how long to get her back to sleep!

I try to get him to sleep in his bassinet but we end up cosleeping with him on a boob most of the night too.

I woke up at 2am this morning with mild contractions. It was so weird because I never really felt contractions until a few hours after my water broke with DD but this was identical. Just not too painful and not increasing or a pattern. Luckily I had a midwife appointment this morning to check in. She said totally normal and not to worry. So I went to the zoo with both kids today in the heat. Lol! 🤷♀️ I did notice though that I've only gained 5lbs since July 16th because I went back in my notes. I'm not too worried because it's 20lbs total already and baby is measuring right on track. It's just soooo different from DD because I gained 40lbs!!! These two pregnancies really have been so different.
Either way, baby boy needs to stay put until next weekend because I can't deliver at the birth center if before 37 weeks, though my original EDD was a week earlier before the growth scan....

We're doing DS2's newborn pics Monday and we'll do some family/brother shots while we're there. I had been planning to put the boys in the big brother/little brother outfits I had bought but now I think they should be in nicer clothes for professional pictures. Which means his weekend I need to figure out what we're all wearing.

Today was one of those crazy paranoia days where I was questioning movement all day. I ended up calling my dr after work and the nurse reassured me that I was okay because I was still feeling 10 an hour even if they aren’t the big gater rolls.
I was supposed to get my toes done with my bff after school but the salon was packed so we just went to dinner.
She told me they are going to have a baby in March! I was so excited I started to cry. She’s had some losses and they have been trying for 2 years. I can’t wait to meet her baby!

tbirdlove I hope you are snuggling your new baby by now , I’m excited to hear boy or girl! akwild that’s so exciting about your friend! 5(!) of my friends are having babies between now and the end of the year - it’s so wonderful I need some advice/tips from everyone. My baby boy pees through everything! When I get up to nurse him MOTN we end up changing jammies, swaddle blanket, basinet sheet, everything because pee is everywhere. Am I doing something wrong with his little penis? I try to point it down. Do I need to switch diaper brands? I did not have this issue with my daughter, is it a boy thing? He gets leaks during the day too but it’s worst at night.

chriskoo I would say go up a size in diapers! This should help with leakage.

Hoping all went well tbirdlove. Can’t wait for an update. @chroskoo, I agree with trying to go up a size.

chriskoo - What brand and size are you using? We have better luck with Pampers over Huggies and now that his umbilical stump is off we use Size 1 instead of Newborn because those tiny newborn diapers don't hold much.

I put on makeup today and we're venturing out to DD's soccer game. Despite having a baby on my boobs for 4 hrs straight least night, I don't feel too bad. I almost feel human. Also, flannels from last season make great nursing shirts lol
Happy Saturday!

I’ve been saying I hate going out and looking like I’ve been up all night (even though I have!) Makeup helps a lot, but my eyes tell all my secrets. 😴 You look great ftwr, love flannel weather!

Thanks Nymeria teambrink getdownplease ! Right now we’re using newborn size pampers. He’s just a little guy (6lbs 9oz at birth and pretty much back at birthweight now) with skinny little legs. Seems like the pee gets out through the leg hole. I have size 1 diapers that we can try, I’ll give that a go next. His cord stump fell off yesterday so we’re not dealing with that any more. Boy moms, this might be a dumb question but do you aim his penis any certain way when you put on a diaper? I’m new to this territory lol.

chriskoo we do aim the penis down at diaper changes to avoid leaking. If we don’t often times we will have leaks up the front of the diaper.

Yes, def penis down is better.
Also this is hilarious because I have two boys and now with a girl I'm like omg wiping a girl is so much more work!
Also MH changed her today at the hospital and didn't get a diaper on fast enough and she peed all over him and the sheets 😂. Didn't expect that with a girl.

chriskoo - Definitely point it down. I feel like if it's even to the side a bit the stream can sneak out the leg hole.

Yes, all the boy moms I knew never believed me when I said my daughter was almost as bad with her peeing. Just wait until potty training too. Legs closed on the potty because they really get some range otherwise!!
