This isn’t exactly a check-in, but I have a question for everyone.
I don’t know if baby is sleeping too much! He had slow weight gain at first, and didn’t reach birth weight until 3 weeks. I am supplementing with formula throughout the day and he is gaining weight now. He used to wake at night to eat. But the last few days he’ll sleep from around 9pm until 6 or 7 in the morning. I haven’t gotten him up to eat, but it’s like I wake up throughout the night and wonder what to do. Do you think it’s ok to go that long without eating? I’ve never experienced this because my other kids basically didn’t sleep until they were 2. I’m thinking of calling the pediatrician nurse line, but I’m afraid they’ll laugh at me! 😂

robinanne when is his next weight check? I’m no nurse or doc but I’m inclined to say if he’s gaining and all is well in that department to let him sleep. And that sleep sounds nice!!

Personally that sounds heavenly robinanne! But I understand the concern. As long as he’s gaining weight I think it’s fine but I would bring it up at your next ped appt.

robinanne: I believe they told me what PPs have said, as long as there is consistent weight gain DON'T WAKE A SLEEPING BABY.

@kore friendofdobby cookswithwine I have an appointment for him next week, so I guess then I’ll know for sure if he’s still gaining. I just feel really uneasy about his sleep.

Week/fruit/EDD or how old is baby: 37w3d/honeydew melon FTM, etc: STM Appointments: MW Thursday Team: Green Symptoms: I feel done with listing them. I have developed a sudden sweet tooth which is problematic for weight gain. Milestones: Near term! We're allowed to have our homebirth now! Rants: I feel both ready and not ready for the baby to come. The idea of the homebirth is just as surreal as the hospital birth was last time. Maybe the uncertainty of birth just is that way? Raves: DH couldn't get the pump to work for the birth pool so he's started inflate it manually. He looked exhausted yesterday and he still has to do more later this week! I love that he's really on board with the homebirth.

Induction pushed to tomorrow. Anxiety is eating me alive and now it’ll be a different doctor. But hopefully all will go smoothly tomorrow.

Week/fruit/EDD or how old is baby: 4 weeks tomorrow
FTM, etc: STM
Appointments: none for baby until 2 months. Mine is sometime later this month.
Team: pink
Symptoms:
Milestones:
Rants: her favorite time to poop is when I’m wiping her butt mid-diaper change. Gross. And so frustrating at 3am.
Raves: this baby is a great sleeper so far. She sleeps from 9-ish to 2 or 3-ish, then until anywhere from 5:30 to 7. Also she haaaates comfort nursing and would rather have a pacifier when not truly hungry. It’s wonderful, after DS who refused a pacifier and would comfort nurse for hours on end.

We had a baby! Alexandra Dianne was born this afternoon. 6lbs, 11oz and19.5 inches long.
Labor was so much easier than with DS.. 9 hours this go around versus 20 hours last time. 5 pushes and she was out though I do have some stitches.
DS loves her. It was so sweet to watch them meet.
