Hellobee Boards

I love when J talks, it's adorable. Also full disclosure... We went to the mall yesterday to get out of the house. I wore a nursing tank and a chambray shirt over it. So while I was getting a pair of shoes, I felt my strap come down... No big deal I thought, until I realized the tank had come undone and my boob was just hanging it. Luckily the shirt was buttoned but i had a tiny leak stain... So embarrassing!!! Tell me I'm not the only one who's experiencing these situations. Also motherhood maternity is the best bc they let me nurse in their changing rooms.

@kjpugs: so cute! Amazing how much has already changed in such a short period of time.

@Redmini1: def not alone. I can only imagine how many people have seen my breast at this point and/or milk stains

@Redmini1: You are not alone! Those clasps don't stay put very well.

@Sadieloo: She coos and babbles a lot and it's so cute! She's blowing spit bubbles as well. I never thought spot would be so cute!

Happy topics - I like this LO loves to giggle & talk for about 10 minutes after every single feeding. I look forward to it so much! She is so curious & loves to study everything around her. I know everyone thinks this about their babies, but she really is smart!

@daniellemybelle: that's awesome! And obviously our kids are geniuses

@evansjamie: I have yet to try the medela, but the consensus among my mom friends is that it's the best and ameda is the worst. I'll keep you posted.

@evansjamie: My ameda was horrible as well, but there is a thread on here of ppl loving it. I bought a PISA for home (I was given one for work) bc I couldn't use the ameda and I sometimes need to pump at home.

@Evansjamie: so smart to have two... I've been thinking about doing the same thing for when I return to work... I can lock it up in my desk which would be nice to not have to take it back and forth... I'm at least going to buy extra accessories for it.

Are any of your LO's SERIOUSSSLY drool-y? E is soaking the top I her shirt lately! I thought they didn't start drooling til teething but maybe I'm wrong?

@kjpugs: Hyla is drooling a lot more and blowing spit bubbles. It's cute!

@kjpugs: so much drool. The dr even commented on it.

She has been choking and coughing on her drool too.

@Redmini1: the standard flanges have been working for me, but I still wonder if it's the best fit and something else would work better.

@evansjamie: I'm happy to send you my old Ameda. If you want it, I suggest getting new party (just the tubing and plastic cups).

@kjpugs: that's crazy. Ameda should really get itself together. I'm sure it's caused countless women unnecessary stress (myself included)! Alex is drooling a bit more and is making spit bubbles as well. He has a but of a flat spot on the back of his head as well. It's not too noticeable.

@daniellemybelle: Could you get a referral to a pediatric ENT? Or ask your ped to check for a tie so your insurance will cover it. I am starting to think that Hyla might have a tie, I noticed that she doesn't stick her tongue out past her gum line. I'm going to try some things I found on kellyMom to test it.

I hope this isn't a fluke. You know how Hyla's sleep kind of sucked? Well, most of the week she had been going to bed at 11 and getting up to nurse at 3:30. But Friday she had a complete meltdown on FaceTime with her Moomaw at 9:30 (WHY my hubs insists on FT when I say she is tired, I'll never know, and his mom, God love her, takes 15 minutes to say goodbye), so I put her to bed and she slept from 10:30 until 4:30, nursed, and went to bed until 6:00, nursed, and then slept until 8:00! And last night she slept from 9:30 until 4:30, nursed, and got up at 7:30! Please please please don't be a fluke!

Anyone's babes rolling over yet? E isn't. She kind of looks like she's getting there during tummy time but it always ends up with her having a meltdown. HATES tummy time. I think @MrsTiz: 's LO is rolling over? Anyone else?

@kjpugs: Lately the past few days M has been trying to roll and today she's half rolled from back to side a few times during her nap and from tummy to side a few times during tummy time. I don't think she gets how to do it when she wants yet but she's getting the hang of it.

@kjpugs: M hates tummy time on the ground. He can hold his head up when we are holding him up but has no interest on his tummy. He also has torticollis and greatly favors turn his head to one side so he has a noticeable flat spot. We are working with a physical therapist while doing positioning and stretching at home. It has made a difference but I'm still afraid he will need a helmet.

@ladybee: I don't think E has torticollis- the ped said it's likely from US favoring one side (I think about how we hold her/lay her down and it makes sense) so we just are flipping how we do it and hope that will work.

My cousin had a helmet and it worked well! He's a twin and it helped me tell them apart too, haha I hope you can avoid that though!

@kjpugs: Look at that precious smile! Adorable

@kjpugs Major Cuteness. I love this photo.

Hi Ladies, Just checking in to say hi! Georgi is doing well and sleeping a bit longer - one night she did midnight to 6:15am and I was in heaven. What a difference a coupla extra hours makes.

No rolling over yet, but she scoots and kicks her legs like crazy.

I finally went to a neighborhood moms and babies meetup this past week -- it was great to meet some people in a similar place. I was nervous beforehand but everyone seemed nice. I feel like I really missed out not having a structured "new moms" group to attend weekly, hopefully this will be a great outlet.

Can you guys believe two months have gone by? It seems like yesterday we were on the countdown. I hope everyone is doing well and happy holidays!

Here's a photo of my PooPoo. She's filling out! Not the spindly little thing I gave birth to!

I'm dying over here. Baby girl is refusing to sleep. She wouldn't nap longer than 45 min at a time all day. It's 10pm, her last nap was at 5. She'll drop off for 5 min then wake up FREAKING out. My sanity cannot handle this.
