It’s a new month ladies full of fun and excitement. We just started the 4 month wakeful last week (a few weeks early). What’s happening?

Currently pumping and was actually able to get enough signal to log in. Four month sleep regression is strong here. Sleep regression with my DS was never really a thing since he always sucked at sleeping. I know I was this tired for most of the school year after he was born. I do not miss being this tired.
We're moving in 2.5 weeks so life is super chaotic to say the least.

We're moving this week. We just went and picked up the keys and did our move in walk through. Unfortunately the previous tenants seem like they were pretty rough on the place so there's more work to be done than they anticipated, which hinders our move in. We're moving the big stuff and essentials today and leaving the rest until it's all done. Other than that, not much is going on around here. Need to get our Halloween costumes done and get Fs passport this month. I'm planning on doing an exercise challenge with the cloth diaper ladies. Uhh, yeah, that's it

Good luck with the moves! Ours is still ongoing. We got back yesterday from 2 weeks at my parent's house to a house still full of boxes and unassembled furniture. I had been hoping the moving fairies would come finish it for me... We have rugs now though! DD1 starts preschool this week so that will be lovely to get a few hours to myself back a week. Thankfully DD2 is the most laid back baby. Every so often I forget about her in all the chaos. Sorry second baby! She's still sleeping in the RNP so that is my goal for later this week, move her to the crib. I got a magic merlin suit to hopefully facilitate this process.

We got our big stuff moved over and spent the night in the new place. I had a really bad allergic reaction between the dust and the allergens from the previous tenants so I took a benadryl and was out not long after F. We can't set everything up just yet because they still need to finish painting so we just threw our mattress on the ground and put Fs crib mattress next to it. He slept a good portion of the night on it, with the dog curled up at his feet.

itsmemeg, how is your DD doing with bottles? L is being choosy about them now and giving my mom (daycare) grief about every feeling. Any advice? We're getting ready to try a four more different bottles in hopes that she likes one. She's already mostly disapproved of three.

She takes them fine now but she still prefers the boob. She takes Lansinoh mOmma bottles. My best advice is to find the one you feel she does the best with even if it’s not great and stick with it. Has she always been like this with bottles or is this new?

Just go E back to sleep. While sleeping I heard an epic poop sound. Decided it was better to wake her up then to deal with an overflowed diaper mess later. It is a blessing and a curse that I wake up easily now.

I was finally able to take a shower tonight, wahoo! The previous tenants somehow managed to screw up the shower and it wasn't working right. I went and got a basket to organize my milk in the freezer in because it just kept spilling everywhere lol. And F has some major FOMO, so with all the workers in and out he hasn't been napping well at all. I finally managed to get him down at about 9:30 tonight by laying with him, and then I was able to get up and do some more organizing. I'm hoping he'll sleep well tonight, and maybe he'll nap better tomorrow.

We’ve had the best luck with the momma but he does best with, and prefers, the boob.

gustierx and itsmemeg, we found a winner! She loves the Mam anti colic bottle and hardly fights at all now. So she's eating 5-6 ounces more per day, is a bit more content in the evening but still nursing every hour before bed, and appears to be sleeping better!

One of my friends had great luck with the Mam too!

F can regularly get up on his side but hasn't quite figured out how to get the rest of the way over. I feel like it's going to be soon though.
We spent the day in bed today. The last month finally caught up with me and I couldn't make myself do anything but lay there.

L rolled over exactly twice in a ten minute span 6 weeks ago. He rolls onto his side all the time but hasn't fully rolled over since.
He is sitting independently though and is DYING to get moving. He tries so hard to scoot when he's on his belly. He wants so badly to run around with and play with his brother.

Hi ladies! F is doing really well. She’s moved into her crib in the magic suit because she’s been busting out of her swaddle. She’s started rolling over back to belly. She doesn’t do it often without having her arm stuck but she’s getting better. She wants to sit up but can’t quite get all the way up or stay up if I position her up. We are getting into 6 month clothes (and I had to buy her a 12 month because my kids’ heads are huuuuuuge).

F is such a happy baby like 90% of the time. He smiles at you and you're just captivated. I'm so lucky with him, and I said to DH that I feel like if we had another they'd be a little devil in comparison lol.

We are stopping at one partially because of this reason too We're probably 75% sure that we're stopping at one. I want to give it a little more time to be sure before we make our decision since H wants to get a vasectomy.

We thought we were one and done but I really wanted LO to have a sibling. Some days it’s hard don’t get me wrong but I’m glad we decided on having two. E already has a unique personality and LO loves her to pieces.

I thought after DS that maybe we would just have the one. I'm glad we went for F because now that we have her, I want like 2 more. Money is holding me back right now. My daycare bill hurts me.

Sleep regression and growth spurt at the same time. Poor baby isn't sleeping well at all. Luckily daddy has his days and nights backwards right now so baby can go in with him for at least one good nap
