@StrawberryBee: Oh gosh, yes, I second @delight - you'd know if it was infected. I got an infection 4 days PP, and I swear, it hurt *more* than most of my labour.
@delight: I busted out my Tucks pads tonight, too. Can't tell if its just 'rhoids, or if my deepest perineum stitches are a little painful, too. Blech, why is this recovery thing awful?
@MrsB2012: Bicep curls - quick way to build up those mama arms! -
@redsmarties: I think I just feel like everything just showed up this week for me. I was feeling really good the first few weeks. Maybe I was just hopped up on pain killers. My 6 week appointment is in two weeks and I just feel there is no way I'm going to be ready to get back into running or DTD. Sigh.
I feel like the last few days all I do is complain. I hope I don't have the baby blues. LO isn't sleeping as well so I think I might be over tired. She was giving me 4 hour stretches before and now I'm lucky to get 2.
-
@delight: @redsmarties: Thanks, that's what I figure too! I've had UTIs in the past (and let the first one go too long) and yeah, ouch to the extreme. Sorry to hear about your infection, redsmarties :(.
delight: pretty much the same thing happened to me. Nothing the first few weeks, and then pain and burning and itchiness and 'roids to the max. Sometimes I give in and take a motrin, which makes me feel more normal. I was proud of myself for jogging about the agility course today setting bars. Oh, and literal lol on "worst brand name ever" ;).
On a more cheerful note, free month sticker printouts!

I just stumbled across them; so cute!
-
@Mrs D: we watched the Happiest Baby DVD during the height of our screaming baby phase. It didn't really help then because of the milk intolerance being the cause of the screaming, but now that we have just regular baby fussiness, I've found swaddling and very loud shushing help a lot. I even downloaded an app on my phone, Baby Shushing, that does the shushing for you, and it's like a portable white noise machine too. Sometimes it's the only thing that works!
-
@MrsB2012: Biceps curls? Like you'd use the baby as the weight? I'll have to remember that one.
@delight: You aren't sure if you're overtired? You are one lucky mama if there's a doubt!! But seriously those less than 2 hour sleeping stretches are brutal. It's just not enough for a restorative sleep. It would make a saint complainy.
Paige just had her first 3 hour sleep in 36 hours. And fell back asleep without crying and fighting it! I feel like a new woman!!
Hubby is going back to work tomorrow. He's working afternoons for this week to get me used to it and then will be full time next week. Eeeeekkk!!!!
-
Ugh ... Ks cord is dangling...this is traumatizing!!!
-
Sorry I haven't been on much ladies. The sleep deprivation is killing me! He's up every 2-3 hours, and at almost 8 weeks old it's getting old fast. lol I had high hopes for last night, and we did get an initial 4 hour stretch, but it was all downhill from there including a fussy awake time between 4-5:30 am. That being said, I really love being a mom and I just keep trying to remind myself that one day this will all be a distant memory. haha
@Mrs D: OMG that was the WORST! I just wanted to pull it off like a bandaid when that happened to us. I know some people save the cord, but it really grossed me out for some reason. It fell off completely a couple diaper changes after it was dangling.
@Grace: Hope all is well with your hubby being back at work. I remember being nervous about it, but it felt really good to be able to do it all on my own. I thought I would get bored being on maternity leave and be itching to go back to work myself, but I love it! I could absolutely be a SAHM. If only....
-
@skipper2010: I agree! It gave me a nice sense of normalcy, which I really needed. 2-3 hours eh? I find it really sad that I get super excited when P sleeps that long...
Paige and I broke out the ergo and did a 2 Km walk. She loved it! And her cord fell off. Yea! It looked so gross.
-
@Grace: how's it going with DH back to work part time? Hope you're having a good day!
@Mrs D: dangling cord was so icky. I was so happy when L's fell off!
@skipper2010: our sleep has been hit and miss. I'd love some consistency! I hate the fussy awake times in the middle of the night!
My bum is getting better thank The Lord. My doc gave me a prescription. Here's little girlie at one month!
-
@delight: It's going well! Thanks! I didn't realize how much him being home made me feel in limbo. This lends a sense of normalcy.
What a cutie!!
-
Aaaah! I need to catch up so badly!! I miss you ladies! We have been on vacation for the last 2 weeks. It has been stressful. We thought our dog was going to die and L and I both have thrush...again!
Not to mention L has been in his 5 week wonder week for most of our trip.
I hear you ladies on the sleep issues. My mom and aunt are telling me how their babies slept through the night all the time and just let them sleep and eat whenever they feel like it. L wakes up at least 2 times a night so this cued a bit of a meltdown from me. I'm lucky if he sleeps 4 hours, then 2 hours and 2 hours again. That is a perfect night for us. He's done 5 hours once.
I just don't even know what to do.
Ugh. I sound so complainy.... I love being a mom so much and he is the cutest thing ever. He also started smiling this week!!
-
@delight: She's so beautiful! Happy 1 month!
@.twist.: Ugh! Sorry you had such a stressful vacation.
And that sucks about the thrush again. Hopefully now that you're home things will get better. I can't imagine going away with this little guy yet so I give you props. I get anxious just thinking about it! I'm sorry you're having sleep issues over there too, but I'm glad I'm not the only one. Your "perfect night" sounds just like my "perfect night". haha
-
@.twist.: that sounds just like Sawyer's nights. We have gotten a couple of almost three hour stretches but usually 4, 2, 2 or 1. And then naps are really hit or miss...anywhere from 3 hours to 20 minutes.
Speaking of which, he's thrashing around in the rock and play right now...I try to let him be unless he's crying because he sometimes falls back asleep.
-
@.twist.: I'd be curious to hear how they achieved that. I find a lot of older people whose kids "slept through the night" either had a different definition of night, or were doing things that are now considered to not be a great idea. Like putting rice cereal (or one 65 year old coworker of mine suggested whiskey) in their bottle.
N slept from 1am-6am the other night, but cluster fed like a fiend all evening, so I'm not really sure having her hang off my boobs constantly from 8pm-1am was even worth it.
-
@.twist.: K is in her wonder week, as well. Completely miserable in the evenings, doesn't want to be put down EVER, and isn't totally herself. She was sleeping 4 hour stretches at night, then waking up and sleeping an additional 2 or 3, but now that's changing. She'll sleep now for about 2.5-3 hours at first, then wake up every hour or two for the rest of the night. I'm hoping once she gets used to her PnP, she'll go back to a 'normal' night.
@Sapphiresun: So many people have told me to put rice cereal in her bottle (she doesn't take bottles...) to make her sleep through the night. At nine pounds and 4 weeks old...I think I'll let her figure out sleep on her own for the time being (whiskey...great idea! Lol).
@delight: I forgot our LOs are only a day apart! Can you believe its been a month already?
@skipper2010: Honestly, I think the 3-5 am awake/fussy time is the worst. No one feels good at 3am. Ever.Here's K at a month old. She's got such a little personality already.
-
@Sapphiresun: my mother in law asked today if Sawyer is sleeping through the night. At five weeks, I wouldn't expect him too, but apparently she was surprised by this. She constantly asks if we are feeding him enough and suggests the rice cereal. She apparently gave it to her kids when they were a week old...she also apparently only took them out of their cribs to feed, change, and bathe them, so they probably fell asleep out of sheer boredom. I agree it was definitely a different time and they did things that we just don't do now...she always makes comments on how we aren't "allowed" to do anything anymore...basically because I told her we have to use a car seat and you don't put baby to sleep on his belly...she also said I was spoiling S because I hold him too much...anyways, kind of got off track there!
@redsmarties: what a cutie!
-
@JamieLee: Oh yes... I'm easily side tracked by in law complaints as well. My MIL found it "annoying" to breast feed after trying it for a day, and went to formula for both her kids. Totally fine, no judgement here. But every time I mention anything about breast feeding she talks about how formula never killed anybody, or how she doesn't understand why I bother, and that I'm going to interfere with her bonding with other people who might want to feed her (namely her...). And when they were visiting on the weekend the baby again was crying inconsolably because it was feeding time, and again she wanted to be the one to have "grandma's touch" despite my repeated hints that it was "close to feeding time", and "she's probably hungry" and "I can take her if her crying's bothering you", I finally had to get firm with her and tell her I was going to take her, and she got all huffy about how we wouldn't have to hide out in the bedroom for half the visit if we'd just give her formula. And then that "if it's a matter of just not wanting to spend the money to feed her, they'd be willing to pitch in". So tiring to constantly affirm that breast feeding is our choice, and I feel lucky that it's an option for us... definitely not a financial decision based on how much I've spent on nursing bras/clothes and an electric pump to try to build a small stash just in case I'm ever unable to feed her directly for whatever reason. DH is under strict instructions to never breathe a word that there's a few bottles worth of milk in the freezer.
-
@Sapphiresun: A friend had a baby in May and she's been giving rice milk in a bottle at bedtime since her baby was a few days old. I thought that was crazy. She makes everything into a competition. Every time I talk to her, her first question is "how many hours does B sleep for at night? " "Oh __ sleeps for 12 hours she's been like that since 2 weeks old."
How is your MIL? Wasn't it her that wanted to stay with you right after the birth? -
@skipper2010: @delight: So glad to know I was not the only one traumatized by the dangling cord! It fell off Sunday night (found it in her blanky in the middle of the night) so thankfully we are through that phase!!!
@skipper2010: Sorry the sleep has been less than predictable...are you able to fall back asleep easily after he eats?
@Grace: 2KM walk? Well done...I am thinking today may be K's first walk around the neighborhood. Its supposed to get up to 75 in the afternoon which is warm enough for me to feel okay taking her for a walk. I lost a large clot on Monday night which kind of spooked me from activity but my bleeding has drastically reduced since then so I may be feeling up to it!
@.twist.: You dont sound complainy at all - there is nothing more frustrating than advice that while may be well intended just gets annoying!!! Hopefully you can get some sleep soon!
@JamieLee: I try to let K "work it out" herself too...mostly because I dont want to create a baby that cant self sooth but also because I think a littl crying is ok to wear her out a bit. Of course if she absolutely melts down I go to her but if its just wimpering I let her be.
@redsmarties: Seriously the whiskey comments crack me up...my grandma still thinks its perfectly legit. While I dont think its the worst idea in the world I am not about to try it! K is so cute...I'm jealous her personality is coming through...I cant wait to get there with my K!
We are almost at the two week mark! I cant believe it - it really is flying by! K's cord is off and I definitely think she has gained some more weight. I cant wait until her next Dr appointment to see for sure. She is still doing pretty good at night - 3 hour cycles so I am usually able to get almost 2 hours in between feedings. She has had a few days where she cluster fed either first thing in the morning or after dinner. I haven't noticed a payoff in the time between feedings yet - so maybe its just a growth spurt!
We're starting tummy time today or tomorrow! We'll see how much she likes or hates it! We have two outtings this weekend - we'll see how K does, dinner on Friday (just DH and I at the club) and lunch Sunday with my Mom, Sister and Nephew to prep for my other sisters baby shower! Crazy that that now is a productive day for me - lunch out and about.
Have you ladies been using Gripe water at all? Thoughts?
-
@Mrs D: I had a big clot last week, scared the beejeebers out of me. And then found out that you don't worry unless it's the size of a golf ball.
@Sapphiresun: I wonder why the older generation thinks you need to feed a baby to bond? I mean geez, just cause you feed her doesn't mean she's not coming back.
@JamieLee: Lol at sleeping through the night because of boredom. Would be awesome if that worked.
@redsmarties: So cute! Hope the wonder week goes by fast! Up every hour at night is the worst.
@.twist.: That's my perfect night too! Btw, you are a rock star for going on vacation with a newborn.
P has her 2-week appointment today. Hopefully she's gaining well and doing well. And that I get all my paranoid questions answered.
-
@Mrs D: I've used gripe water a few times when S has bad hiccups. It seems to calm them so he can get some relief.
@Sapphiresun: Ugh...your MIL sounds like mine. When I said I was planning to breastfeed, she said it just "wasn't her thing" and also mentioned the whole no one else will be able to feed him thing. I think she was secretly happy when I had to bottle feed, but jokes on her, S has been successfully nursing for the last couple days, and today I haven't had to give him a bottle at all the last two feedings. My SIL is also annoying the crap out of me. She really wants to babysit but there is no way I'm ready to leave S with anyone, and she is all ticked off about that...like, he's not her baby so she really has now right to be mad about that! Ugh!
Question for you ladies: S has finally started nursing, but that means that my nipples are not used to it, so it's like I'm back at the start and they hurt like a son of a gun. Anything that worked for you guys when your babes were just starting out? The LC says his latch looks good, so I don't think it's that.
-
I've missed so much, it's been so crazy here these past few weeks. My oldest started 6th grade, mornings are blury fury trying to get out of the house with everything and hoping the baby is finally full so she doesn't scream the whole way there (he's in a charter school with no bus service).
Then I got a brilliant idea to start potty training Madailein, yikes! There's no turning back, but I sure have been doing a lot of laundry (3 day potty training my rear!)
Charlie has been better about cluster feeding, but she still doesn't like to be set down unless she's sleeping. She started smiling, cooing, and even some giggles, that makes my day all better and melts my
On the inlaws front, my MIL is annoying but she's finally backed off. His family is huge, so Grandkids are nothing new to them I think Charlie is his Dad's 14th Grandbaby (some are by marriage). His Mom the first 3 weeks would hound me for a daily picture text to her, I'd do it and she'd complain that I sent a video. Uhh no, it's a picture, and she'd get really snarky about it. She's laid off finally, I can't find the time to take the picture, send it to her, then spend 45 minutes explaining that it isn't a flipping video!! His Dad and Step-Mom are pretty good though, his Step-Mom can be a little batty at times.
My Husband has been getting home from trips in the morning and sleeping during the day. Hardest thing in the world to keep a baby quiet and impossible to keep a 2 year old quiet!
@Mrs D: We use Gripe Water, it really seems to calm her down!
-
@JamieLee: Yea on being able to nurse!!! Lots of my friends swear by the Lansiloh lanolin (I haven't super sore nips myself - either becsuse P eats so fast or because they are made of steel....)
Hubs brought P to me for a feeding this evening and I nursed her in a very reclined position. Apparently, this was a mistake and put too much pressure on her belly because when I got up she puked what seemed like the whole feeding all over me. So gross.
-
@JamieLee: that's great that you're able to BF! My nipples still hurt after 5 weeks. For the first two they were really blistered. I got Jack Newman's all purpose nipple ointment which was amazing. It might be a Canadian only thing though.
https://www.nbci.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=76:all-purpose-nipple-ointment-apno&catid=5:information&Itemid=17
You have to have it made at apothecary. Otherwise I just use the madela lanolin. I think my LO has a bad latch still unfortunately but it's getting better.@StbHisMrs: sounds like a crazy week! Good luck on the potty training. I can't believe C is smiling and giggling already! That's awesome! L smiles sometimes but I imagine its just gas.
@.twist.@ I was wondering where you've been! Sorry sleep is hard. I don't personally know any newborns that sleep through the night but I do hear the stories (legends) about this from people too. I don't see how it's possible because they need to eat so much!
Liv did sleep 6 hours straight last night which is her longest by far. She was fussy for the two hours before she finally went to sleep so that likely wore her out. I was in shock and a bit panicked thinking something was wrong when I woke up in the middle of night and she was still asleep. I also had to pump after the feeding because I was so engorged. I started pumping this week and it's going well. I love seeing how much I can get and adding bags to the freezer. So far I only have 12 oz saved. Haha. We are trying a bottle out this weekend.
I also was freakin out yesterday cause she hadn't pooped in 3 days. She was really gassy too so I was worried she was constipated or something. Then finally last night she let it all go. Oh boy. Three days worth of poop is no laughing matter. dH wouldn't even let me put the dipe in the diaper genie it was so nasty and needed its own plastic bag and went straight to garage.
-
Hi ladies,
Wanted to give a very long overdue update, but first let you know that I've been following the August threads all along just became very slack in posting in the late Spring! Congratulations to everyone! Your babies are all gorgeous!
AFM - baby Hannah Elizabeth was born one day late on August 27th at 8:13pm. I contracted at home thru the night before and went in to L&D at 7:00 in the morning. Contractions slowed substantially when they hooked me up to the monitor (of course) and they were talking about sending me home. Then the resident checked me and I was 5 cm! After a 2 hr walk around the hospital, contractions picked up and I was 6/7 cm and they admitted me.
I had a glorious epidural around 5:00pm and was then checked and was 8cm. My water broke all over the resident while she was checking me! After a 2 hr nap I was fully dilated, gave one practice push to reveal a mess of dark hair! After 30 minutes of pushing she arrived (all 8lbs13ounces of her!) I have to say, it was a much better experience than I ever could have imagined! Hannah is nursing like a champ and seemingly gaining weight (she's outgrowing sleepers already).
I'm looking forward to being a more active member of HB during my maternity leave. I will be off until next September
Here's the first shot of her after she was cleaned up, and one at home during a wakeful moment!
-
@Ocean girl: She's precious! We have the same sleeper in a bigger size! Look forward to hearing more from you - I'm on HB so much more now that I'm on mat leave!
-
@delight: my friend told me today about some prescription magic nipple cream. It actually says magic nipple cream on the container from the pharmacy. I wonder if its the same stuff...I will be asking for it tomorrow for sure! I also freaked out the first time Sawyer slept longer than four hours in the night!
-
@skipper2010: thanks! He honestly was a good traveller and slept almost the whole way there and back. It messed up our day and night for those days but otherwise it went smoothly. Now I have a clogged duct and I think it's because I didn't feed him as often yesterday since we were on the road all day. It hurts and I'm having trouble releasing it. Womp womp.
@JamieLee: I'm definitely glad to hear some of you ladies experience some similar night routines. I'm getting really tired of hearing about these magical babies that never wake up in the night. Especially from my mom and aunt who I can't imagine their memories being perfect after 26 years!
@Sapphiresun: yea, it was seriously frustrating. I feel like on top of rice cereal and whiskey (lol), they just have terrible memories and maybe blocked out all the bad nights!
@redsmarties: I hear ya in the weird sleeps. Recently, L hasn't wanted to go back to sleep in his crib after the initial first stretch of sleep. So he ends up in bed with me because I know he's tired but he will NOT sleep in his crib. It's so frustrating! I really hope this isn't permanent. I wish I could say he's still in his wonder week but I really feel like he's passed it now. She is so freaking cute, too.
@Mrs D: thanks! Last night was better, even if he did end up sleeping with me instead of in his crib.
@Ocean girl: she is so so precious. Glad to hear you had a great delivery experience!! That is awesome!
-
@Ocean girl: Congrats! I was wondering what happened to you. Glad your little girl showed up safe and sound! She's beautiful!
I'm so jealous of the sleeping so long! I keep pretending that because Paige was 2 weeks late, that she's actually 4 weeks old and that much closer to sleep. On that note, she sleeps 2-3 hours at a time between 10Pm and 10 am but only 30-60 min at a time during the day, Did your LOs do that? I just wish I knew what was in the spectrum of normal...
-
@MrsB2012: They did want to. It was kind of a mess where we said no, offered to get them a hotel, they said they'd pay IF they decided to come, and only came the first day I was in the hospital and left the next day. My shower was about a month after she was born and right before they were supposed to come they asked AGAIN if they could stay with us, and we went through the whole thing again. I'm fairly sure they're mad at us, but there just isn't room for us to comfortably take on two extra people staying at our place anymore. Especially since they're so difficult to please. If I ACTUALLY thought they'd just bring an air mattress and crash on the floor, and then clean it up every day so we can actually use our living room I'd be all for it... but I know that's not going to be the case. They stopped by for lunch on their way through town last weekend, and I just planned soup and sandwiches since they didn't know what time they'd get here, I'm busy with the baby, etc. So they get here, and his mom advises me she doesn't eat lunch meat (she does, I've seen her) and gets all snooty with me about how I treat guests. I then offered her no less than 15 different options from groceries I had available (grilled cheese, chicken salad sandwich quesadillas, chicken salad - greek, caesar, or regular, fettacini alfredo, spaghetti and meatballs, pizza, nachos, chicken cordon bleu, bagels and cream cheese, muffins, oatmeal, bacon/sausage and eggs, omlettes, pancakes, waffles, various fruits - apples, grapes, blueberries, raspberries, bananas, oranges, ... the list goes on) and she refused them ALL and gave me attitude about how a proper host doesn't allow her guests to go hungry. I just have to throw my hands up with her sometimes... I can't win.
-
@Ocean girl: congrats! She's beautiful. Another one with lots of hair.
@Grace: mines a cat napper in the day as well. And pretty much only happy to sleep in my arms immediately after a feeding. And then wakes up and is happy for maybe 20 minutes and cries until the next feeding. Makes it pretty hard to get anything done around the house. Or any of that tummy time/reading/exposure to anything developmental.
-
@Sapphiresun: OMG your MIL sounds like a piece of work!

New mom survey!!!
1. Favourite thing about being a new mom?
2. Most frustrating thing about being a new parent?
3. Cutest thing your LO does?
4. Something you can brag about?
5. Something you would like to improve?1. So much lurve!! Can't believe I could ever love this little guy so much.
2. Sleeeep. I need more of it. Most frustrating when he's passed out in my arms and I ever so gently, with 5 fans going and the hair dryer too, place him in his crib and then BAM he's wide awake.
3. When he's hungry and knows a boob is on the way, he starts cooing and rubbing his hands together like he's just found gold.
4. My milk supply has been pretty great and I'm super thankful for it.
5. I would love to have more of a night time routine. Currently it's just whatever, but I wish we could do dinner, bath, story, pjs, bed. Or something. I just feel so unorganized most of the time. -
1. Favourite thing about being a new mom? Just getting to be home all the time and witness all the new stuff she's learning. So amazing that we made this new little creature.
2. Most frustrating thing about being a new parent? Getting her to sleep. She only likes to sleep in someone's arms, or on their chest or in our bed. There's no tricking her and getting her asleep and then putting down, and the idea of putting her to bed drowsy and falling asleep on her own is laughable.
3. Cutest thing your LO does? Got my first real giggle today and it was pretty awesome. She only started smiling regularly a few days ago, but when she's eating and gets distracted, I'll look down at her to see if there's an issue and she'll give me a big gummy guilty smile as if I just caught her slacking off, and get back to eating.
4. Something you can brag about? I'm pretty stoked that we're still breastfeeding and haven't had to supplement formula yet. I've even got 15oz stocked up in the freezer so hopefully sometime soon mom and dad can get out to dinner AND a movie.
5. Something you would like to improve? I'd love to reduce the amount of time she spends crying and increase the time we have to do tummy time/reading/playing. It seems she wakes up, eats for 30 minutes, has max 15-20 minutes of happy awake time, and then breaks down in tears until she goes to sleep again (sometimes only a cat nap), and then wakes up and cries until it's time to eat again.
-
@Ocean girl: congrats, sounds like you had a great experience! She's beautiful
@JamieLee: try just rubbing breastmilk on them and letting them air dry. I also had a container of earth mama angel baby cream, but barely used it.
@Sapphiresun: I swear, that exchange between you and your mil sounds like the script of a sitcom. Bless your patience!
@.twist.:
1. Seeing her grow and thrive and realize it's because of us! Watching my DH with her
2. Having to rethink all trips out of the house. Is it worth it for both of us to go, and take her with us? Is it safe for her to go?
3. When she drifts off and still randomly sucks
4. She sleeps really well during the night so far
5. Ditto on having no nighttime routine. It's about 2am when she goes 'down for the night'
-
Update: I started to feel worse itchy/burning right before my pp appointment , so was glad I had it when I did. The good news is that my stitches healed great, and we don't think it's a UTI, though something was a little elevated (ketones?) so they sent it out for further testing. She said I was pretty raw down there.
So, the guess is yeast infection, and I got some over the counter stuff . I didn't want to get pills even though just a minor amount of medicine gets to your milk, so it had to enter the (cough) other end. Omg I cried at my first dose, it burned so badly. I had to take two Motrin last night before attempting it again. I really hope this works.
-
@StrawberryBee: oh goodness. I seriously can't even imagine!
you poor thing. I hope you recover FAST!!!
-
@.twist.: thanks!! The first time felt like I was pouring acid up there. The second time was a bit better, so hopefully that means it's doing its job and things are starting to clear up. Just one more dose tonight.
-
1. Favourite thing about being a new mom? I just love having him around. He's my little buddy and I don't know what we ever did without him.
2. Most frustrating thing about being a new parent? Sleepless nights.
3. Cutest thing your LO does? I love watching him sleep. He looks so content and peaceful. I could watch him for hours.
4. Something you can brag about? I have no problems leaving the house with him. He loves car rides so we've been pretty lucky so far in that aspect.
5. Something you would like to improve? I want to read more to him. I talk to him a lot and sing, but I'd like to start reading books daily.
@.twist.: "When he's hungry and knows a boob is on the way, he starts cooing and rubbing his hands together like he's just found gold"----hahaha this made me LOL!
-
1. Favourite thing about being a new mom? Seeing him change every day. I love seeing him develop a new skill or hitting a milestone and seeing his personality start to develop.
2. Most frustrating thing about being a new parent? Feeding him. We have had lots of issues which has impacted lots of other areas of our time, but I feel like things are finally starting to come together.
3. Cutest thing your LO does? Smiling at us and when he lifts his head when he's chilling on my chest and looks around and makes the cutest faces!
4. Something you can brag about? He rolled over already! It might have been a fluke, but I'm still bragging about it! He also slept 11 pm to 6 am last night! Woohoo!
5. Something you would like to improve? Having more of a bedtime routine. The other night, he fell asleep and I realized we still had him in a "daytime" diaper, which for cloth diapers means we either needed to wake him up and change him or plan on having pee leakage...we just grabbed another set of pjs and let him sleep.
