Hellobee Boards

@kml636: @lindseykaye: same! I asked cuz I want her teeth to come in ASAP so her extra fussiness goes away!

@scg00387: C is doing great. I'm so so so happy with this phase of babyhood!

@NovBaby1112: ha i think there's two of us! prepreg i was barely a 34a, during pregnancy a fuller 34a to 36a, now i'm back to regular 34a. boo!!

@scg00387: baby is doing good! she started army crawling this past weekend! i know she wants to crawl on her knees but can't quite figure it out. she's just rocking back and forth. not really liking solids but she'll eat it. i'm trying to get into finger foods. the only ones she likes is mum mum's. she will only eat puffs about half the time i offer. i'm going to start trying to give her some banana soon! still no teeth! i feel like she's been teething for so long. i *think* i see the bottom ones coming in but i've been thinking that for awhile so who really knows!

@kodybear: Add another to the itty bitty committee Mine never grew during pregnancy and I would say I am a fuller A cup now (maybe a B) when I was a small almost-not-an-A pre-pregnancy. I am seriously going to miss even this modest amount of extra boobage!

@scg00387: Pulling up and climbing over here, too. She is proper crawling as of a couple weeks ago and now she is FAST. Getting lots of little scrapes and bumps - I feel bad for her but she is learning how to sit from standing better and seems to take it all in stride. We're trying to practice not making a big deal out of her little boo-boo's but it's hard.

Sleep has taken a nose-dive just this past week. She wakes as soon as she hits the crib mattress, gets up on all fours and reaches out to pull up in the crib. It is pretty awful and is making me seriously regret not sleep training back at 5 months when we planned (but sleep was fine then, so we didn't!). Now she just stands there at the crib rail yelling "mamamamamamama" in this super sad little voice. It kills me. We are moving in two weeks though and after she gets settled a bit at the new place, we're going to give it a real try this time (though I am not looking forward to it AT ALL I am looking forward to at least her being able to fall asleep on her own even if she doesn't STTN).

@kml636: Not really, but I am horrible about taking the mini pill so we had a little scare recently...

We wouldn't be wild about #2 right now because we are finally back into the swing of our aggressive debt payment plan (student loans! arg!) and getting pregnant again would pretty much halt that completely. That's not even talking about having two in daycare at the same time or me becoming a SAHM. Ugh. Yeah, we are not ready

ETA: if none of that was an issue, I wouldn't be opposed to it. But we're both young (25 and 27) so we don't feel any clock ticking yet.

@kml636: nope! ideally we'd want them about 2-3 years apart so we won't officially be trying until maybe march of next year. but... the first time around it seemed like it took alot of effort to get pregnant (temping, fertility monitor, etc) and took us 5 months. so i secretly think i'd love to get pregnant by surprise. haha we're using the pnp method but i really doubt it'd happen on its own. if money wasn't an issue tho i would probably start thinking abt a 2nd now too! daycare is so expensive tho!!

@highwire: You never know! Apparently both my brother and I were awesome sleepers, easy happy babies. Apparently my LO does not take after me (yet?).

@lindseykaye: Aw A does exactly the same with sleeping. Because my side of the mattress is next to her crib, she will try roll out of the crib to me too, crying and reaching for me and then get her arms or legs stuck in the slats. It kills me. Sometimes I wonder whether we should have done CIO when she was young because it seems doing it now would be more heartbreaking since she's more attached to me. But I can't do it, it's just not in me at the moment. I think I would probably approach sleep differently with #2.

@kml636: I don't have my period back yet but if I did, DH would have wanted to try already. We are both 32 and I have PCOS so time isn't on our side. I've emailed my acupuncturist (how I got preg last time)already about when I need to start up treatment again and we decided when I was 9 months pp so I guess pretty soon. We'll officially be TTC again when A is a year old, as I want to breastfeed until then, but we have PCOS against us so not sure how it will all pan out.

@kml636: My acupuncturist said sometimes pregnancy sorts period issues out and everything is okay afterwards but I'm sensing it won't be for me. I hope acupuncture is as good for me next time, it's not easy on the budget but it was a great treatment

We've talked about this recently. We really want them to be 2-3 years apart, especially because I had a cesarean and delivery complications (eclampsia). My mom watches LO so the daycare cost isn't too much of a concern, but she's already 62 (looks very young for her age and is very active) and I don't want her to have to juggle two little ones at too much older of an age. Although by the time we have a second my LO will probably be ready for part-time preschool. I just turned 30 and my husband is about to be 34, so we are ok in terms of age, although not that young anymore.
