That's when we joined up with the Spring 2012 moms - and a lot of them are still around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feb-2012-where-are-you-now#post-2352769 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 15:29:29 +0000 Mrs. D 2352769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: yay! I wonder who else is still around? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feb-2012-where-are-you-now#post-2347395 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 20:37:59 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2347395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey!<br /> We're doing well! We just have the one so far :) I'm still in school. We haven't decided yet whether we want another one or not! We are pretty certain we'd love to adopt in the next 5-10 years or so, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feb-2012-where-are-you-now#post-2347386 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 20:13:50 +0000 Mrs. D 2347386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have our daughter, but are currently TTC 2.

I bet most of us from this month are long gone, I just came back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2012-mommas-amp-babies#post-341547 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 14:33:00 +0000 FancyGem 341547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi, Just checking in with everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/3#post-227813 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 22:08:58 +0000 Mrs. Pen 227813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@enjollah: OMG ME TOOO!! I want my son to sleep through the night lol!! </p> <p>@Clementine: Yeah, I went through that.<br /> And now my son won't go down at bedtime. He goes to sleep between 7-8pm, but then wakes up ever 15-45 minutes crying. I rock or nurse him back to sleep, put him in his crib, and he's awake 10-15 minutes later. It's awful. Some nights I just keep holding him hoping it will help, but it doesn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/3#post-227341 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 19:48:01 +0000 Clementine 227341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@enjollah: I am sooooooo jealous. Your LO sleeps through the night 50% of the time! What a good baby! My little guy has regressed so much that he wakes up every 2 hrs. Tonight, he was overly tired bc he refused to nap and so I let him CIO for 5 mins and then nursed him and he's been asleep. Crossing my fingers, he'll sleep without waking for a couple of hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/3#post-227195 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 18:56:35 +0000 enjollah 227195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: @Clementine: Hey gals! Haven't been on HB for a couple days so I missed this post! I'm so glad you guys posted on your LOs..it's so nice to read about babies around the same age. :)</p> <p>My LO is 5 months 5 days and are doing the same things your little guys are doing too! At his 4 month checkup, his ped said to start him on rice cereal but he didn't like it. I tried some mashed bananas last week and seemed to be doing fine until he got a little constipated. I'm going to wait until it clears up and introduce avocados. Sleepwise,, he started to go through a regression too 2 weeks ago but seems to be better. He sleeps through the night 50% of the time or wakes 1 time to nurse. Since he's more aware and interested in his surroundings, it takes longer to bf. I've been experiencing with bottle feeding and I think he drinks more at night which helps sleep longer. </p> <p>Again, so glad to read your updates! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/3#post-225936 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 21:10:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 225936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine: Ahh he JUST started maybe a week ago with his toes! It's sooo freakin cute. He just holds onto them tho, he hasn't tried to eat his toes yet.</p> <p>Yeah, I am actually super excited for solids just because I know he is ready. I gave him a tiny taste of pureed pear right at 4 mos and he LOVED it. I was so surprised at how excited he got. Since he's had a tiny bit of avocado and also banana. I am psyched to start.</p> <p>I will definitely make his food myself, I got a baby bullet AND steamer for my shower! I am excited to use it. And I personally think it's healthier (and cheaper!) to make it myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/3#post-225934 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 21:05:46 +0000 Clementine 225934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: i secretly can't wait until he starts solids next month. i dunno, somehow in my mind, 6 mos seems to be a magical age. i dunno, if i miss the younger mos because i was so stressed and tired. i like it right now except for the sleep regression. i hear you, my little man was like that last night and i'm exhausted. has your little man found his toes yet? my little guy all he does is try to suck on his toes, which is both cute but also hard during bath time. Are you starting solids next month too? if so, making baby food or just buying? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/3#post-225926 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 21:01:57 +0000 Mrs. Pen 225926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine: My son will be 5 months on Sunday (and I'm sooo torn up about it I started crying today! For some reason, 5 months seems sooo much older!), he had his sleep regression right at 3 mos, and it's this month that it started getting better. But probably 1-2x a week he has a bad night. All other nights he will only wake 1-2x a night to nurse, which I can totally handle. But nights like last night, he was up 6 times! </p> <p>Otherwise he is sooo good. He is so soo so happy, such an easy baby to take care of and a joy to be with. He rarely cries or fusses unless something is really wrong.</p> <p>He is learning so much this month, I feel like. He can sit in his bumbo all of a sudden, he can grab and hold onto toys and mostly put them in his mouth, he can scoot on his back, he can roll from tummy to back, he can laugh and he has full head control. He is growing up WAY. TOO. FAST. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/3#post-225907 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 20:36:18 +0000 Clementine 225907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Hahaha...well my DS is now 5 mos and 2 days. Right now, he's battling teething (drooling up a storm), sleep regression (was rockstar night sleeper and now we are looking into sleep training options) waking up every couple of hours, and eczema flares. Otherwise, he's a very good baby. Oh..and I just wish he would nurse more and take breastmilk better. How about you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/3#post-225871 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 19:47:34 +0000 Mrs. Pen 225871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine: Give us an update :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/2#post-225853 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 19:26:33 +0000 Clementine 225853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any updates, ladies?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/february-2012-mommas-amp-babies#post-193525 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 09:14:12 +0000 Clementine 193525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi All,</p> <p>I just wanted to check in on all the mommas who had their babies in February like myself. How has life been treating you?<br /> My little man turned 4 mos this past Saturday and to be honest, I'm feeling a lot more settled and less stressed than before. </p> <p>Is anyone starting solids? start sleep training? back to prebaby weight? etc =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/2#post-114454 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 15:23:22 +0000 Mrs. Pen 114454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry I never kept up on this thread... how is everyone doing with their little ones at home??</p> <p>My son is now 6 weeks old and the sweetest little thing alive. He has a content and happy disposition, when he is awake he loves staring into our eyes and making little faces. He's working so hard to hold his head up, so cute!<br /> He doesn't like sleeping alone, so during the day, we hold him for his naps and he's sleeping with us at night. It was a lot easier to give in to letting him sleep with us than fight him to sleep every night :)</p> <p>I also just renewed my gym membership! Went today for the first time since he was born, felt good but I couldn't believe how quickly I felt fatigued. Definitely out of shape and not back to "normal". I dropped him off at the day care at the gym and it was the first time I've ever left him with someone other DH, it was really, really hard!! I couldn't imagine being a working mama going back to work at 6 weeks.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/2#post-79411 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 19:57:37 +0000 FancyGem 79411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@enjollah: I feel the same way. I woke up this morning thinking that I should be feeling almost normal. I have noticed that I have lost most of my stomach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/2#post-79256 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:21:14 +0000 enjollah 79256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FancyGem: wow! congrats to you too! how has it been going? For myself, things are alright. I didn't realize that I would still have pain after coming home (I guess I didn't connect pushing out a baby and your body transitioning back afterward). Baby's been sleeping well in the day but is very much up at night....so i feel like i've been doing graveyard shifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/2#post-79118 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 12:43:42 +0000 FancyGem 79118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@enjollah: Hi! Congrats! My baby was born on Valentine's Day too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/2#post-79055 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 11:29:15 +0000 katdevargas 79055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine: congrats to y'all as well! gah, it's crazy that the time is finally here, huh? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/2#post-78992 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 09:53:48 +0000 Clementine 78992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>congrats, enjollah! how awesome. we actually had our baby last thursday. we came home this past Saturday and are still adjusting to life! i've kinda of fallen from the face of the earth, but i had to reply back to my Feb mommies and give y'all an update! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/2#post-78942 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 08:53:46 +0000 katdevargas 78942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@enjollah: ah, how exciting! congratulations! :D I hope that y'all get settled into everything quickly &amp; painlessly.</p> <p>I'm still trucking along - 39 weeks this past sunday &amp; baby has shown no inclination to leave yet. the car seat was installed sunday {procrastinate much?} &amp; man, that's kind of surreal to see it in the back of my car. I can't imagine it holding a real, live baby that's MINE. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/2#post-78897 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 01:11:16 +0000 enjollah 78897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FancyGem: @katdevargas: @Clementine: @wifefromscratch: How you all doing? I wanted to update the Feb 2012 mommies that our baby boy came 2 weeks early and was born on Valentines day! We just came home from the hospital on Thursday and been getting use to baby's sleep schedule! It's so surreal and it hasn't fully hit me yet that the little one that we've been taking care of is finally here! Anyway, hope you all are well! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/2#post-68725 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 08:42:04 +0000 katdevargas 68725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@enjollah: I packed my clothes up &amp; put them in the attic specifically for that reason. I figure I'll pull them out right before I'm due to start back to work &amp; see how things are fitting at that point, otherwise I'll be ocd about trying them on &amp; being disappointed that I can't fit into them yet.<br /> we actually ordered it last night! 2 day amazon shipping, woo hoo, so we ought to be gtg *knock on wood* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/2#post-68420 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:47:45 +0000 enjollah 68420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@katdevargas: love the long posts! :) not that i hate pregnancy or anything but yes, i also can't wait to get my body back! The other day I caught myself looking through my closet at all the clothes that don't fit me currently and then told the hubs that i can't wait to wear my old clothes again! I don't have that many maternity clothes cuz I tried not to spend too much on them (i either borrow or wear a lot of my own clothes). Hope you find a carseat soon! It could be "any day!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/2#post-68311 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:51:25 +0000 katdevargas 68311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@clementine: @enjollah: I'm with you girl. We still don't have a carseat or mattress. still not too worries about the mattress since the babe will be in a bassinet at first, but am starting to get antsy about the car seat situation</p> <p>I've got the angry red stretch marks on my breasts really badly, but that's been part for the course this entire pregnancy, so nothing new there. I also have a few little ghosty ones showing up on the underside of by belly now, like @fancygem. In the last few few weeks I've also developed carpal tunnel in my dominant hand {right}, which vacillates between feeling like my hand is asleep all the time or just dead. And I'm only able to sleep on my left side now b/c of this, ha. If I sleep on my right side, it seems to exacerbate it. I much prefer the deadness as the sleepy pins &amp; needles feeling keeps me up at night, so I am so. tired.</p> <p>late last week was the start of my 37th week - at 35 weeks {on jen 25th} we had our final sono &amp; found out that baby is head down &amp; at the time was 6lb, 4 oz {ish}, so this week he hought to be in the 7lbs range, I guess? I was not dilated or effaced that visit &amp; my dr isn't going to check me again until {iif} I hit 40 weeks, so I'm not sure if there have been any changes on that end. but there's been no plug or anything like that showing yet.<br /> @enjollah: yeah, I haven't packed my bag yet either. procrastination, yay!<br /> @clemantine &amp; @fancygem: y'all are SO close! that's so exciting. I'm getting to the point where I'm not nervous about l&amp;d anymore b/c I think it'll be such a relief for it to be here. I can't wait to have my body {at least somewhat} back. To be able to bend over! and sleep on my back! glory hallelujah. who knows, though, I'm sure that feeling will change once the contractions start :)</p> <p>so exciting, though, keep us posted on how things are!</p> <p>and this is a huge post, sorry bout that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/2#post-68051 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 12:46:59 +0000 FancyGem 68051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@enjollah: Congrats for making it to full term! My things have been packed in the hospital bag. I am putting my baby's things in their asap.<br /> I haven't really slept because I have been having contractions every hour. Dr. says they are just practice contractions. So I need to wait until they are 3-5 minutes apart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/2#post-68038 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 12:38:18 +0000 Clementine 68038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@enjollah: Congratulations! You're in the home stretch. I'm going on week 39 (eek) tomorrow, but feeling about the same just tired. Last time, I saw my doctor she said I was 1 cm dilated, but she didn't give me any special instructions.</p> <p>in terms of preparing for the wee one, i hear you!!!!<br /> we still need to get a crib (long story, we thought PNP bassinet would work for us, but didn't) and a rocker, but I feel like we can get those things once the LO arrive esp. since we have this temporary sleeper thing etc.</p> <p>Packed my hospital bag 2 mos ago just because all these pregnant ladies I knew were giving birth 1 month early. Kinda stressed me out.</p> <p>I'm nervous about L&amp;D, but now I really just can't wait to hold my baby. Each day at work, I try to act like it's my last day just so folks get in habit.</p> <p>Good luck too with your final weeks! I heard having your baby drop far along your pelvis is a really good thing. Shorter labor :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-february-2012-mommies/page/2#post-68025 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 12:31:24 +0000 enjollah 68025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine: @FancyGem: @katdevargas: @wifefromscratch: How you all doing? Today is the start of 37 weeks for me! My appointments are every week now so on Saturday I found out that baby is sitting really low, head down, and 1/2 a cm dilated so far. This whole time my doctor has been telling me to stay active (to help with labor) but on Saturday she told me to limit my activity to prevent baby from coming early (since he's so low). I've gained around 35 pounds so far, still have tons of things to do for baby's arrival (including packing the hospital bag), and continue to have trouble sleeping at night. It is so darn painful to turn from side to side! I've been trying to suck up any pain because I imagine the pain of delivery to be way worse! Good luck with you all in these final days/weeks! </p>
