A Thread for Rainbow Baby Mommies! (Graduated from TTC and PG!)

Wow, I'm sorry I havent been on here. Completely forgot it existed as Daniel has me on 4 hours of sleep a day.

For the new people: Welcome Here is my story: I am 24, DH is 25. We lost our first son Joshua when he was 17 months and 4 days old. October 7th, 2011 will forever be the worst day of my life. If you want the details of how we lost him, dont feel afraid to ask but I will have to post it later. Well, we had started TTC our 3rd child 2 weeks before he passed away. In january we got our BFP but lost the baby at 12 weeks (2 weeks after I turned 23). As soon as AF returned we tried again and after 6 months we got our rainbow baby BFP 3 days before the due date of our angel baby. Daniel is now 24 days old. He is a major blessing and every day is special. We also have a daughter who will be 26 months old in 2 days. She is wamring up to the idea of being a big sister. She wants to hold him about every time he is awake. She gets sad when he cries. She makes sure he always has a blanket and a pacifier. She carries her 16" baby doll around everywhere and copies whatever I do. She is a blessing. I will post pictures of both of them later when I'm on the other computer.

Update:So in an effort to help Daniel with gas I'm cutting dairy out of my diet tomorrow. I'll drink Lactaid and be able to eat greek yogurt but cheese and ice cream will be out. He has gotten horrible baby acne all over his face and hate it but I know it'll be gone in 4-6 weeks. I havent been able to pump any in the past 5 days because he has basically been eating so much that dont even get engorged anymore. Do you know if they have a 3 week growth spurt? I always thought it was 5 weeks but maybe my memory is foggy.
 
Ich welcome back!! Jonathan is so cute and big!! Sorry about OH. But at least u gave it your all.

Ex WOW, he is a healthy boy!

Krippy holy smokes, 18mo clothes?!!

Kelly she is about the same size as LM. Chunksters!! :haha:

Got LMs passport photo today. Flying to Cape Town again next Feb.
 
I'm getting lexi's and skylers passport on the 12th when back home. Should be fun I'll be getting in at 7am after flying and travelling for 24 hours before heading straight to the passport/photo office :wacko: but we need them for our winter holidays!

I posted a bunch of pics in my journal if anyone wants to see Lexi. Easier to just post in one place.
 
Kadence has her first cold.. the poor darling is coughing up a storm and her eyes are so glassy. Overall, she is still pleasant though.
As for me, I am super busy so can't get to check in regularly! Getting married in 18 days and starting to go in panic mode!
Just a question... is there a target where any of you ladies live? There are a couple of dolls that I want for Kadence but taget doesn't ship internationally. I would happily EMT some money to someone for shipping as well if it wasn't too much trouble for anyone!
 
There are targets in BC you should be able to order from! :)
 
No stores except a coop where I live lol! I'm isolated just like you. I think the one in Halifax is opening in the fall. Ill take a look when I'm home in a couple of weeks :)

I hope Kadence feels better soon.
 
Army - Welcome back, lovely to hear from you again.

Jenny - Hehe thank you, he sure is.

Kelly - I'll catch up on your journal.

Jessica - Sorry to hear that Kadence has her first cold, hope she gets well soon. Eeeks, not long to go now until you get married!
 
I didn't think you could order online from target in Canada? I tried maybe a month ago and nothing unless that's a new thing.
 
Morning Ladies. I mentioned Kadence having a cold...shes due for her 4 mth needles today, should I go ahead? I made them aware of her cold and they said it was fine as long as she doesn't have a fever?
 
Yup that's ok Jess so long as no fever and even with a low grade fever some places still give them as Long as they're not live vaccines like the mmr and chickenpox one.
 
I dont mean to offend anyone but I am seriously ready to throw my computer across the room due to all of my Facebook friends posting about their wonderful night. All my plans got cancelled including my backup plans and I am suffering from migraines. I get to the point that I almost yell at my daughter if she disobeys me. Anyone who knows me knows that I RARELY raise my voice at my children because I dont want to startle them. I dont believe raising my voice is the right way to teach them they are doing something wrong. Laundry and dishes are piling up and I cant convince myself to do any of it. End of my rant.
 
Sounds like how I feel today! I am sorry that you are in such pain, migraines are killer! I hate how our bodies can yurn us into different people when they are tired, hurt, etc. It hate feeling out of control!
 
I've had a few very bad nights with both kids and that turns me into someone else and I hate it. Thankfully my fil is here so he watched both kids and let DH and I sleep.

Army I hope the migraines go away soon.
 
I'm doing okay. DH is very irritated with me right now because tonight I missed our Skype time because of nursing and Jerusha passed out early for the night.

We took him to his 1 month appointment on Monday morning and i was afraid he wasn't gaining weight but its just the opposite. He has gained almost 2 lbs and 2 inches in a month! He is now 10 lbs 9 ounces and 21 1/4 inches.
 
Army - Glad to hear that you are doing ok. That's a shame that your DH is irritated with you, it's not your fault if you are busy nursing! :(

Glad to hear that he is gaining weight nicely :D
 
Sorry I have been scarce! Typed a post this week and it didn't submit because I hadn't refreshed the page. Grr.

Anyway! Army glad he is doing so well!! Sounds like nursing is going well.

I am still exclusively BF. LM has grown 7 inches since birth....today she turned three months. :) I am still on cloud 9. Think I am gonna stay there. My mom and bro came to visit and we had a great time. DH is busy building a petting zoo next to the restaurant and we are redecorating the restaurant one step at a time. Busy busy! I ordered a free sling from sevenslings.com. Had a coupon code. Also gonna try the Moby.

Hope everyone is doing great!
