Hey Ladies! Sorry for being MIA lately. My headaches are back with vengeance!! My period is suppose to start this Saturday, if not sooner and I'm guessing these are probably hormonal headaches. I think the only way to fix them that I know of, is to go on some sort of birth control, which I really don't want to do. I've heard that certain birth controls can affect your supply and I don't want to take the chance of it passing through my milk to Sara. I just don't trust it either! I've spoken with too many people who have gotten pregnant while on birth control. We've always just used condoms and have never had an oops or accident with them.
Sorry, I'm rambling.
Nicole, hope your daughter is getting better. Samuel used to do the whole cry before going to bed, we did the timer for awhile. When the timer went off it meant it was time to start getting ready for bed. He's a pretty independent kid and likes to feel like he's in charge of himself. I don't mind it. But he knows that we're the boss. Honestly, I don't know how we got where we are with him, but he's a pretty good kid, but he was a total shit head for a time in the past. I think it's just a phase they go through, because it's passed.
Libby, Cute pictures!! My doctor has never given percentiles for kids. All kids are different. All kids are born different lengths and weights, so it only makes sense that they be different lengths and weights as they grow. When you put them all into a group, parents start getting paranoid and freak out because baby a isn't as big as baby b or baby b isn't as long as baby a. blah blah blah. I kind of have to agree with your daycare worker. If Colton can eat more and he's hungry. Feed him. Don't worry if he becomes a fatty. He'll be healthy and once he starts moving around he'll start burning even more calories and need to eat more. I understand you're having a supply issue, but he's only going to get bigger and want to eat more. Also, cereal is iron fortified. You can buy vitamin d drops with iron added too. That's what we used to give Samuel.
Misty, I found this for you. I used to use a similar website when we had Samuel, hope it helps. https://www.babycenter.com/0_age-by-age-guide-to-feeding-your-baby_1400680.bc#articlesection2 I think I've told you before, but with Samuel we fed him three meals right from the start at 4-5 months. At first it was cereal 3x a day then it went to veggies 3x a day mixed with cereal. I agree with Nicole, we didn't give samuel fruits until he was closer to a year because babies tend to want to eat sweet stuff, so they wont want the veggies because they aren't all sweet.
Krissy, so excited for your scan! I bet you're feeling better. When will you know about a doctor giving you weight restrictions? Do you have an appointment to see one today? I think you said you did in text, but I can't remember much anymore.
Zoe, that's awesome about your scan as well. I don't like medical students. If I walked in and saw it was a student I would have walked out and rescheduled. I had a bad experience with a med student giving me a papsmear and no more. I don't trust any student near my lady parts. All in all, happy to read you were able to see the baby and get some neat pictures.
Aspe, maria, PDX, Grace, Angel and anyone else that I may have missed... I hope you're all enjoying you day and things are going well for you all!
