He smiles most of the time, sleeps though the night, and is starting to laugh. He is starting to reach and grab onto me when I pick him up. We have crummy days here and there, but as a whole I love hanging out with him!</p> <p>We are still working on rolling over, it is still hard for him to pick his 99th percentile head off the ground (we call him Mega Mind). But the rest of the time his head control is pretty decent. I hear that 5 months is the best time, but I've really enjoyed 12 weeks on so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2012-babies#post-133271 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 13:32:36 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 133271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to check in and see how are all the January moms and babies doing??? </p> <p>My baby girl is 3 months old today - hard to believe!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2012-babies#post-79990 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:03:50 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 79990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElisaT: I completely know what you mean about the husband having the magic touch. My husband is the same way! </p> <p>Feeding was tough for the first couple weeks, since she had problems latching, but now we're doing great. Pumping hurts my nipples so I haven't built up a supply like I need to. I just ordered some new flanges so I'm hoping that will help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2012-babies#post-79874 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:43:18 +0000 littleveesmommy 79874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyboecksmom - I'm exhausted too but you're right, I wouldn't trade this for anything! LO seems to be extra fussy at night too and wants to feed every hour, but sometimes this results in a longer sleep cycle. It's a good thing fussy hour is at night when my husband gets home because he has the magic touch that settles her down. How is feeding going for you? It was rough the first week but I'm starting to get the hang of it now. I just started pumping this week to try to increase my supply so I can begin storing for when I go back to work and also so DH can help with a feeding a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2012-babies#post-79501 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 21:27:47 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 79501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElisaT: Congrats on your LO!! Sorry to hear things didn't go as planned :-(</p> <p>So far things are going pretty good, except in the evenings when my husband gets home. For some reason, she is always upset and screaming for an hour or two before we can get her to calm down. </p> <p>Other than that, I'm loving being a mom and I have a new appreciation for all the other moms out there. I feel like there's no time in the day to do anything except feed her, change her, and put her to sleep, before I have to redo that cycle. But I wouldn't change it for the world! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2012-babies#post-79490 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 21:18:08 +0000 littleveesmommy 79490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi everyone! I just wanted to check-in and see how everyone is doing with their new addition. =) Did you end up having LO early, on time, or late? My LO was due on 1/26 but didn't show up until 2/2 - a full week late! I went into early labor 3 days prior but contractions didn't get going until the day before. I was in active labor for 16 hours and pushed for 2.5 hours without epi but ended up with emergency c-section due to LO being face forward (posterior aka sunny side up) and head was angled. When the OB on call pulled her out, she wasn't even that far down the birth canal after all that pushing! I was really discouraged at first since I was trying for natural birth but that passed. Just so glad she's here! </p> <p>How are you adjusting? Sleep and feeding going well? Can't wait to hear you experience! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-40-weeks-today-and#post-55143 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 06:39:09 +0000 pastemoo 55143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-40-weeks-today-and#post-54621 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 13:44:26 +0000 Clementine 54621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck! My prenatal yogi swears my primrose oil, you may want to ask your doctor about taking some! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-40-weeks-today-and#post-54331 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 02:01:23 +0000 808love 54331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 40 weeks plus 1 when I gave birth to my daughter 1 year ago. :) I'm excited for you. I drank raspberry tea leaf which sent me into contractions but labor lasted over a day. I wish I would have just let her come out when she was good and ready. Don't want to speed up the contractions, just to have a slow laborious labor. Praying for your awesome delivery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-40-weeks-today-and#post-54282 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 21:45:04 +0000 heffalump 54282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay!

If she doesn't come out on her own, she'll definitely be evicted by then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-40-weeks-today-and#post-53406 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:30:11 +0000 pastemoo 53406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Agreed, most women have their first baby late! Good luck! Don't stress.<br /> And, you said you tried everything.... castor oil? (Have 911 on speed dial.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-40-weeks-today-and#post-53308 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 19:21:55 +0000 MegWag 53308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck! I'm sure it will happen before too long. At our birth class the other night the midwife gave a tip that I hadn't heard to speed up labor or get it going: go up and down stairs sideways (like a crab walk, if that makes sense). She said that the rocking motion of the hips can really get things going. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-40-weeks-today-and#post-53261 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 17:20:53 +0000 twodoghouse 53261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw, you're so close! I hope baby starts making her appearance soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-40-weeks-today-and#post-53251 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 17:14:17 +0000 heffalump 53251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay, you're almost there! The good news is your LO has to come out sometime soon. I was also in your shoes... and complaining that I wanted her to come. And then she decided to come on her due date. You never know, your might start feeling something tonight!</p> <p>Until then enjoy your baby free days when you get to eat with your hands free and sleep through the night (well kind of, you still have to pee a lot). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-40-weeks-today-and#post-53188 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 15:24:35 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 53188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: Thank you, lemondrop - that really makes me so excited to see her. </p> <p>@BabyLove: I have a feeling something similar will happen. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-40-weeks-today-and#post-53155 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 14:35:43 +0000 lemondrop 53155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: my favorite candy! I keep bags of the real old fashioned ones at my desk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-40-weeks-today-and#post-53112 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:24:13 +0000 BabyLove 53112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know exactly how you feel! It's exactly what I went through. She was 10 days late though. It wasn't until we were in the car on the way to the hospital to be induced that it felt like she was ready to come out. Just before they administered the pitocin I went into labor. Here's hoping she surprises you much sooner than 10 days late! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-40-weeks-today-and#post-53110 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:19:46 +0000 tequiero21 53110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: for some reason, i'm really craving a lemon drop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-40-weeks-today-and#post-53091 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 12:39:54 +0000 lemondrop 53091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It can only go on for so much longer! You are at the longest only days away, keep thinking of that- and walk, walk, walk if you can. Meeting your girl will be the most amazing thing ever- you are meeting someone you already know for the first time. My reaction was "Oh, its you, I know you!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-40-weeks-today-and#post-53087 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 12:36:38 +0000 tequiero21 53087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>good luck!!!! enjoy this time of peace and quiet! =) you're about to get on a roller coaster! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-40-weeks-today-and#post-53063 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 11:47:11 +0000 littleveesmommy 53063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck and hang in there! She'll come out soon enough. =) I'm a few days shy of 39 weeks today and am trying everything under the sun to encourage baby girl to come out as well. No signs of anything and I think I still have my mucus plug. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-40-weeks-today-and#post-53051 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 11:33:37 +0000 autumnlove 53051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck!
