When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby?! 16 days old  How big is baby? He was 7lbs 3oz at his weigh in last Thursday, he’d be a bit bigger now. Nicely above birth weight Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? He’s a boy! Any Upcoming Appointments? His one month check up is at the end of next week. Symptoms: I’m feeling great! Bleeding has almost stopped. Just a bit constipated still (sorry for the overshare lol) Milestones: He’s just busy being a newborn Rants/Raves/AW/Questions: My house is a mess and we’ve had a parade of visitors so it’s mildly embarrassing, but not so much so as to motivate me to do a really good clean. |

6 weeks tomorrow, I couldn’t remember yesterday if he was going to be 6 or 7 weeks.. my mind is mush
How big is baby? Just a tad over nine pounds
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?
Any Upcoming Appointments?
Symptoms:
Milestones: he’s officially smiling for reasons not related to gas. My MIL got the first official one out of him
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? We are dealing w/severe diaper rash that is finally turning a corner today. We are also having a tough time with our 3 yo being too rambunctious around the baby.
I’m doing a lot of baby wearing lately to get things accomplished. We are sleeping well as long as the baby is with me. I wish he’d get more relaxed in his swaddle thing so I could put him elsewhere for sleep stretches.

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby?! 10 days old
How big is baby? Hopefully at least a couple ounces over 8 lbs 6oz from Friday.
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Team Green turned Pink!
Any Upcoming Appointments? Weight check on Thursday
Symptoms: I'm doing a lot better with soreness. I can sit down better now without a lot of pain. Bleeding has slowed way down. Nipples are adjusting well.
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? So far she seems to be a pretty good sleeper, so that's great. But she's still in the sleep-all-the-time newborn stage so we'll see what happens when she actually starts waking up more. We're starting to see a little more awake time from her during the day and it's so enjoyable to watch her just looking around. She's super strong in holding her head up already! Her umbilical stump fell off already a few days ago, so much earlier than DS's. It's still bleeding a little bit throughout the day. I'm just leaving it alone and sometimes dabbing it with a tissue when I change her to try to keep it dry. I hope it heals up quickly. I'm not a fan of the whole umbilical stump situation - it kinda freaks me out!
I feel like she's a lot easier than DS. I don't know if it's because I'm a STM and am generally more confident, or if she really is just pretty easy and chill. I guess time will tell 😄

She was a month old on Saturday
How big is baby? No idea, my pediatrician didn't do a one month check-up, just two months. We moved her to size 1 diapers though!
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Green turned pink
Any Upcoming Appointments? 6 week pp next week
Symptoms:
Milestones: 6 hour stretch last night! I hope it wasn't a fluke!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?
I spend way too much time either trying to get DD to sleep or make sure that she stays sleep. It stresses me out and makes me so frustrated.
Question: how much spitting up is normal? DD spits up pretty much every feed, sometimes multiple times. Dd1 pretty much never spit up so it feels like an excessive amount of spit up but maybe it's normal?

brenna my DS spit up SO much. All the time. Rivers of freaking spit up. My pediatrician told me it was normal whenever I asked about it - even when DS spit up a ton right in his office. I've been told that the amount is misleading - it looks like more than it is. But, if your DD is miserable and crying and arching her back when she spits up, then I believe that can be a sign of reflux. But some babies are just 'Happy Spitters' 😊

**was getting sleep stretches now I have a fussy guy for hours at night. Took him outside today hoping the fresh air would help him be calmer tonight and so far he’s less restless. I hate this phase.

I hate this phase. we got two nights of a six hour stretch but I'm expecting that to not happen very often. I've heard/read six weeks is when they are the fussiest (dd's entire third month was hell though) so I'm expecting the worst to come still. I hate this phase too, they need so much and you don't really get anything back from them. |
