Hellobee Boards

@Beebug: sounds like it could be AF? Boo!

I have been keeping up reading on this board, but haven't posted in a while. We have been busy with our little boy. Nolan got his shots last week wednesday. He did end up spiking a fever overnight, although it didn't seem to bother him. I was crazy about checking is temp because I was concerned about his fever getting out of hand.

We went to a Christmas party on saturday with my family. He was a huge hit! Everyone loved being able to see him. My extended family doesn't get to us very much. While we were at the party we got to see the other little baby in family. She is 4 months old and the size Nolan. It was a little concerning, but she is adoreable!!!! I will update more later.

2 month appt went ok. Hated hearing him cry during his shots. He was 13 lbs 2 oz and 24 inches long. He's getting so big! Any of you BFing ladies giving vit D drops to your LO? My ped said it would be a good idea.

@hilsy85: yeah apparently I missed the vit D memo. Lol

@hilsy85: he seems ok. He's been sleeping 2 hours now on my chest. We gave him a dose of Tylenol to hopefully help with the pain. 4 shots just seemed like so much for such a little guy.

@mrskc: our ped put both LO & I on vit D because I am on the dairy free diet...actually I haven't been on the diet for 12 days now but we still take the vit D. I'm curious to see how big LO will be since my son & yours have been pretty much on the same track weight wise. Our appointment got move to Thursday.

@mrskc: he's been perfectly fine! But I don't do actual milk, still. I pretty much never ate butter, ranch, sour cream or cream cheese to begin with either. So basically I brought back yogurt, cheeses & creamy soups. I'm not surprised that he's responded well because my mom said us kids all outgrew it by 12w. He was 9w+.

@Mrs.B: yay for a laugh!!!
@MrsRcCar: bummer about the temp - bit it went away quickly right? How do you take LOs temp? Armpit?

How about other moms? How do you take LOs temp?

We were told to do Vit D Drops since the beginning, but I won't lie, I forget.....a lot.

I took 13 sleepers off her rack last night.....! Seems like only Carter's 3 months fit right now, everything else (3 months size) isn't long enough. The amount of clothes (some she never wore!) she's outgrown already is insane. She needs to stop growing so fast!!

@CarrieLouWho: yay for long sleeps!

Leo also had a great night--he went 8:30 to 6:50am!! I woke up and was like, did I just forget that he woke up during the night? But my boobs were so engorged that I decided he must have slept straight through, lol.

@TurtleDoves: Did you re-activate fb yet? I posted this just now, but thought about you and no fb.....and just fee.l like showing C off I guess!

Happy Bean!

@hilsy85: She does it all the time..... It's a different rub then when she's tired.....she digs in and itches

Just gave C a bath, took pics for 1st time since 1st bath at hospital, I think DH got a couple good pics!! Nursing now, then bedtime for her! DH has another day and a half left and then 2 weeks home with us (and we'll be away to his home province) which I am really looking forward to. I went so overboard on his Christmas gifts, but so fun!!

@mrskc: C doesn't nap properly daytime, never ever in crib, bassinet or pnp. She is always in carrier, on me, or in carseat. We're on the go, and maybe I'm a bad Mom for not being home to establish better naps, but I want to do things! So I guess I can't her expect to nap where I'd like her to the times I am home?

She naps fine now in bassinet at night, so I find it funny how she won't stay asleep in it during the day!

@mrskc: L doesn't nap well either. only if she is on someone. if she is swaddled tightly, sometimes she will sleep for longer stretches, but not usually.

@mrskc: J is also not a good napper. I swaddle him (recently with the miracle blanket like we do at night) and put him in his crib, and he'll generally sleep for 30 minutes max before waking up and crying. Sometimes I can put his pacifier back in and wiggle him a little and he'll fall asleep again, but sometimes it doesn't work and I just have to keep going into his room and putting the pacifier back in every 5 minutes. He sleeps well at night (usually, though for some reason he's been randomly crying for a few seconds every half hour this evening, not sure what that's about!), but doesn't like to sleep during the day!

J doesn't mind his vitamin D drops - I use the Enfamil TriViSol drops, which have a couple other vitamins in there too. I give it to him before a feeding, and he'll take it then make a face because it's not the milk taste he was expecting!

I am glad I'm not the only one with a bad napper!!

And not the only one missing D Drops sometimes!

So! Shots are DONE! I definitely cried!

She is 24", and weighed 12.45lbs, doctor said he expects a good athlete out of her like her parents, lol.

She had some infant tylenol after and I sat w/ her in back of our SUV until she fell asleep, which took all of 2 minutes before getting upfront to drive home!

Going to put a roast in the crockpot, and get some baking done this after while she snoozes!

@turtledoves, I know how you feel. DH has been sick this week and the last couple of nights he's kept me up with his breathing & snoring... And the dog is snoring with him! Ugh... It's pretty bad when its not the baby that keeps you up!!

I am going to start the 30 day shred DVD next weekend! DH got it for me in my stocking and I am excited to try it....! That with some pool time, walking, eventually running.....!

Our pregnancies and pp time line up well with new years resolutions

@hilsy85: ear seems fine, we'll see how she is landing though, I land awfully on planes though, hopefully she doesn't inherit that from me! She is a big girl, but you know what's funny is how "small" she seems with sposies on! I feel like I have nothing to hold on to now, haha!

Does Target have good (ish?) baby clothes? It's coming to Canada soon, and one's opening local to me, not til February though I don't think!

DH and I did Christmas last night together, I cried reading card from him, we filled stockings for each other, I love DH of course but he nevvvver really does gifts, we just keep it small, and I'm always ok with that. I went a little crazy with his stocking, and definitely over spent, and was sure I way outdid him. He got me! Totally surprised, lots of "running" themed gifts, ipod running band for arm, lulu sports bra, etc, but some sparkly diamond ear rings, so that killed it, lol DH did good!!!! First piece of jewelry he's bought me, so pretty special to me! I was just beaming last night, had to brag a little, beyond excited!
