Hellobee Boards

@MrsBrewer: I know they only keep freezer milk for 2 weeks and we either have to take it home or they toss it. But I don't know why they used it the second day? Her normal teacher was out Monday and Tuesday too which doesn't help things either...

@rpparker: I've been pumping 3 times at work and once overnight to get enough. The afternoon pump is borderline worthless though. I feel like I get so little for the amount of time it takes. What took so long for last night's prepping?

You guys...I'm not sure but I think Ellie maybe teething? She's been a little monster thes last couple days. Super fussy, clingy, nap strike (last few weeks ) she's had a bad cough and coughing all night not getting much sleep and a runny nose. she's stared to bite down while nursing, yeah it's been fun.....I looked in her mouth yesterday and saw what looked like two lines in her bottom gums. Idk do these look like little teeth?

Sorry no the greatest picture she's a squirmy.

@LindsayInNY: I really don't know! I did some extra meal prep, DH got stuck in traffic which made dinner later, I had a board meeting today so had to iron some clothes...it was just a long evening!

@Eko: We still hold her or do the RNP for naps at home! We need to move to the crib for naps!

@rpparker: Ellie is the same. Flipping from back to belly but can't do belly to back. And she is flipping herself so that all naps and night sleeping are on her belly. I'm not really stressing since they say if she can get herself to her belly, she's fine to sleep that way. She's just in a footed sleeper with empty crib. Really, if they can lift their head, they could move/adjust themselves if they couldn't breathe (even if they can't flip back to their back).

@hocuspocus: the pic is too blurry for me to tell. They do have something called tooth buds that appear before teeth, at least I think, so maybe it is that. It could be teeth though. Are you looking at the top or bottom? I think bottom ones come first.

@rpparker: I always want to go to bed earlier than I do! The packing lunches, cleaning the kitchen, washing pump parts, packing my stuff always keeps me up too late. However, I've got to figure something out because with LO waking up now so often between 2-6, I really need to go to bed earlier. Last night I went to bed at 10 and slept for 4 straight hours before she woke me up at 2. Believe it or not, that made a huge difference, even though I got the same total amount of sleep. I think I'm going to try to go to bed at 9pm unprepared for the next day so that I can sleep for 5 hours straight. I'll get up for the day after her 5am feed instead of trying to go back to sleep for an hour.

@MrsBrewer: She's in the tail end of 1s. Was 3 months on Friday.

@MrsBrewer: We have a couple packs of size 2s we are finishing up and then moving up to size 3. We just started using size 3 at night since he had some leaks and isn't changed as frequently.

We vacationed at my moms beach house this weekend. Getting so sad this is my last week of leave.

I hope everyone is doing well! It's been a while since I posted. M is teething, and it's the canines! The doctor was surprised because those usually don't come in until 17months! Everyone keeps telling me she is making room for the next baby. I've even been asked if I'm pregnant. I really want to tell them considering I have an IUD naw, I'm good! At yesterday's 4 month shots, she was 12lbs 3.8oz, and 23 1/2 inches long. She's in the 13th percentile for weight. The doctor said she's petite, but proportionate and steadily cloning her growth curve.

@MrsBrewer: M has been in size 2 for 6 weeks now. But, the huggies size 2 don't fit, and pampers size 2 are slightly big. Crazy. She's also in size 3M clothing, and some size 6.

@Eko: Yes! We've had a few rough nights with the teething. She loves her vibrating teething strawberry, and my dad picked up Sophie the girafe which she loves as well. We don't know what it is about huggies. She's long, and obviously pretty petite but they don't even go around her waist! And we have the size two 12-16lbs box. I'm using them in a diaper cake for a co-worker.

We're firmly in 2s and will be for awhile. We just moved up from 1s not too long ago. At daycare, J sleeps on his tummy but doesn't roll from back to tummy so much. At home, he sleeps on his back. I'm not too concerned since E took until 5 months or so to do the rolling from back to tummy for sleeping consistently. That time, we didn't entertain CIO until 6 months. This time around, J has CIO'ed already because of lack of space in our condo until we move.

@dc yoga bee: that's funny. I consider W the same, long and slim through the waist and I still think huggies fits better, lol. I was gifted 4 boxes of size 1 diapers, when I didn't need any of them, and I exchanged them at Walmart without a receipt. Another idea in case you really need them.

Ellie is a chunk! She weighed 14.5 lbs on Tuesday! She's recently become very obsessed with her feet.

E is about 15.5 pounds now and we are in 6-9 month clothes.

(I went to Vegas for work and spent a whole morning taking pictures of e in front of Vegas landmarks, haha)

4 months, and 12lbs 3.8oz!

@dc yoga bee: what a doll! Love that smile and hair

Everyone's babies are precious! We'll be doing our 4 month pictures tomorrow but I'll share one from last week's zoo trip now.

Ellie goes in on Tuesday for her 4 month appointment and we are betting she is over 17 lbs!
