Week/fruit/EDD or age of outside baby: almost 4 weeks old
FTM, etc: 3tm
Appointments: none for a few weeks
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): blue
Milestones: We have all gotten some sweet social smiles. The big kids love it when they can get one out of B.
Symptoms: still some soreness, also realized I'm getting a headache every afternoon. Not sure what that's about.
Rants: last night's sleep was rough...he was doing this snort/grunt thing. I thought he was congested but today it doesn't seem like it.
Raves: I was worried about how D (6yo) was going to adjust to the baby because he started kinder this year and he tends to be emotional, but he's been great.
GTKY: Favorite newborn product? Either something new you are loving/looking forward to trying or an old standby. Least favorite?
I'm loving the baby bum brush and my stretchy nursing cover. Those are new since my others were little. I've always loved muslin swaddle blankets. With my first, I was adamant about having a shopping cart cover but I think I used it maybe twice. This time I got a haakaa but I haven't gotten it to work.

Week/fruit/EDD or age of outside baby: She’ll be 2 weeks on Thursday!
FTM, etc: 3rd
Appointments: Baby’s 2 week check is Thurs, my appt isn’t until January.
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out):
Milestones: The cord stump fell off today! Haha.
Symptoms: Still sore, too much walking aggravates things.
Rants: I want more sleep. My H tries to help out with MOTN feedings but it leaves me engorged and not happy. The big kids also shared their sinus crap with me and the congestion is making my teeth hurt.
Raves: DD2 has thankfully not gotten sick (knock on wood).
GTKY: Favorite newborn product? Either something new you are loving/looking forward to trying or an old standby. Least favorite?
The boppy has come in handy once again, and I got one of those stretchy car seat/nursing covers that’s been good too. I don’t think i have a least favorite yet.

jnetx I had daily headaches around that time that lasted about a week. I assumed it was my last hormone crash. They are gone for me now. Week/fruit/EDD or age of outside baby: 6w FTM, etc: 3TM Appointments: had my 6 week pp appointment today. Everything looked good! Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): pink Milestones: baby is consistently smiling now Symptoms: n/a Rants: I’m so over unpacking. I feel like we are never going to be done. I get started on one thing and then baby is hungry or fussy and then I can’t remember what I was working on so I’m not getting much done during the day. Also I wish baby would take a pacifier. Sometimes she’s fussy for no reason and I feel like it would calm her. Only one of my kids took a paci and then it was hard to get rid of so it’s probably good that she doesn’t like it. Raves: DD2 is warming up to baby and calls her “my Sutton.” It’s cute but now she is taking it to the extreme and getting mad when DD1 talks to her. GTKY: Favorite newborn product? Either something new you are loving/looking forward to trying or an old standby. Least favorite? Favorite - doc a tot. We didn’t have one with our other kids but I love it for supervised napping. Least - I can’t think of anything. I feel like we weeded out all the losers through DD1 and DD2.

Week/fruit/EDD or age of outside baby: 37w RCS Dec 26th.
FTM, etc: 4tm
Appointments: Friday
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): pink
Milestones:
Symptoms:
Rants: She is running out of room and lets me know it by sticking whatever out and kicking. Oh and the crib broke so Dh needs to fix it and he is definitely feeling the pressure.
Raves: only 2 weeks left! I found my ring sling that I forgot I lent out to Sister. So that's exciting. I am looking forward to baby-wearing again.
GTKY: Favorite newborn product? Either something new you are loving/looking forward to trying or an old standby. Least favorite? I bought a Freemie pump and I am weirdly excited to try it out.

Week/fruit/EDD or age of outside baby: 7 weeks! FTM, etc: Appointments: Monday at the children's hospital for a 2nd opinion on her heart condition. They may decide to admit her for monitoring and start meds to get it under control. Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Milestones: I got a few smiles out of her this week! Symptoms: Rants: I'm basically exclusively pumping and its draining. Baby will nurse occasionally but is always still hungry afterwards and needs a bottle still. I'm doing it every 3-4 hours to keep up with her feedings. The night pumps are the worst. Raves: Baby is more awake and alert these days, and I love it. I love when they finally start getting interactive! GTKY: Favorite newborn product? Either something new you are loving/looking forward to trying or an old standby. Least favorite? I love babywearing with my Ergo when they are this little. It's the only way to get things done around the house. Also I just discovered this thing and it's awesome. No more cream under my fingernails 😂 wish I'd had it when my son was a baby. Lol  |

Are any of you getting longer stretches of sleep yet? DD2 is up every 3ish hours and I need someone to give me hope 😴😴

sundog not really. Occasionally I get a 4 hour stretch every few nights, but on average she wakes up every 3 hours. I can handle the every 3 hours, but it's the 2-3 hour wake up parties she throws in the middle of the night sometimes that kills me.
