anyone ttc or ntnp before there child is a year old?

[Skadi]

I spent my new Years eve alone watching When Harry met Sally on TV.

Ava is already pretty much sleeping through the night. She cluster-feeds from about 10 pm to midnight then doesn't get up until 5:30ish usually for a quick top up feed and stays down until 9ish! This is brilliant compared to the every 2/3 hrs with Keira that went on for a YEAR.

Happy New Years! We just stayed in and watched TV and had take-out for dinner. But it was nice, though.

Logan, what a beautiful picture of your kiddos! I forgot, have you told us what you named your sweet baby girl?

Vanessa, Liam slept almost exactly like Milo last night! Down to bed at 6:3opm, fed at 10pm, fed at 3am, and woke up for the day at 6:30am (which is unheard of for him!). I hope both our boys start making some great sleep improvements soon!

Elizabeth, sorry you were alone on New Year's eve. That's great that Ava is sleeping so great already, though!

Logan your Los a beautiful!!

Vanessa Jonathan does the same every time someone is over lol.

Skadi I'm sorry you spent New Years alone. But sounds like Ava is sleeping like a champ already.

Jordyn I love the pics of your Los on Christmas. Liam is soo cute

I just got my gallbladder out on Sunday. Been in the hospital since Thursday. So my New Years was spent on the couch trying not to move. It hurts very bad this recovery but the overall pain I was having is gone thank god!! I'm glad everyone had a great new year and Christmas

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Stacey, you just can't catch a break! I hope your recovery is quick.

 

[blessedmomma]

Vanessa- yay for LO sleeping better!

Elizabeth- sorry you spent new years alone not nice. glad your LO is also sleeping good

Logan- your kids are precious

Jordyn- so glad your LO is sleeping better too. lack of sleep makes me grumpier than anything

Stacey- its seriously one thing after another maybe you will get a nice break after this love!

we really didn't do anything special. watched a movie with some popcorn. stayed up til midnight, kissed and went to bed lol.

 

[Duejan2012]

Thanks everyone is hope we get some better luck with the new year. I have some good news my MRI came back negative for ms. I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that

 

[blessedmomma]

that's great news hun!!!! at least something went right

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Stacey, I'm so glad to hear that!!! Finally some good news!

 

[Duejan2012]

Thanks everyone. I want to update about what else is going on. Eva is getting soo big. We took her and Jonathan to the docs the day after my surgery cuz Eva was showing early signs of croup so wanted to get that taken care of. She was 14 lbs 12 oz. Jonathan still only 25. Witch worry some cause he hasn't gained in forever. But he had a ear infection. We got Jonathan a train set too for Christmas and skittle Mickey toy. He is obsessed with Mickey haha. We got Eva a few teething toys and a playmat. Natalia a shopping cart and cash register and some monster high dolls witch she's obsessed with haha

I really like the present idea. The 4 gift idea. I don't think going all out is the thing for kids who don't even understand why they are getting there toys.

My dh got me a nice canon camera. I got him a Mexico jacket and hat he's been wanting. Overall was very nice. Tomorrow is my birthday. I can't believe I'm going to be 24. Yikes lol

I finally qualified to get some cell phones that wouldn't break me so my dh and I finally got the iPhone 5s. Hopefully I will be able to stay caught up now.

Jordyn when did Liam start sitting. Eva can for a few seconds but falls over lol

Melissa how is your pregnancy going?

Here are a few pics of everyone.

Stacey- your babies are gorgeous!!! pregnancy is going good. I overdid some walking/shopping yesterday and lost some more plug im hoping she stays in longer, but im starting to get nervous. my last 2 were 37 weekers and I would love her to stay put longer

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Stacey, those pics are gorgeous! I'm glad that you had a great Christmas with your kids. As for weights, Liam is about 17lbs (but he has his 6 month appointment in a week, so I'll get a better weight then), and Alia is 22 lbs, and hasn't gained anything in probably 5 or 6 months, so we've been giving her Pediasure every day to try and bulk her up a little bit.

Melissa, take it easy and keep that little princess cooking!

As for me, I think I'm pregnant again! Hopefully my test tomorrow will give me a definite answer, but I feel so pregnant, so I'd be shocked if I wasn't.

 

[blessedmomma]

oh my jordyn!!!!! cant we get a peak tonight please???!!!!

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Well, I already used a FRER this morning, and so I can't quite make myself use two in one day when I'm only 9 dpo.

But here's this morning's test for now. https://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test-gallery/image.php?galleryid=216026

 

[blessedmomma]

I thought I saw something, then didn't, then thought I did when I lightened it. what do you see irl???

 

[Duejan2012]

Wow Jordyn I too thought maybe yes but maybe no. Can't wait to see the test tomorrow. Wow that's a great weight for Liam. I too am going to ask the pedi about giving Jonathan a pediasure. I can't remember did you mention when Liam started sitting?

Melissa I too really hope she stays put longer. I do know lots of people who lose plug for a long time so hopefully your just one of those ladies. I'm not sure if I told you but I love the name you chose

 

[blessedmomma]

Stacey- thank you, we love it I read some stories online of women losing it really early too and that everything was fine. there were also some scary ones that I wish I hadn't read lol. thanks google! I guess since I have had 6 and never experienced it this early it bugs me. usually I start losing it when I start to dilate around 34-35 weeks. it worries me too that both times I lost some was after doing a lot of walking. the first time around 18 weeks when walking really shouldn't be any kind of issue. my ob had checked me after that though and I wasn't dilated so that gives me peace of mind

 

[Pielette]

Stacey I'm sorry about the gallbladder but that's fantastic that you're negative for ms! And oh my God your babies are stunning So cute to see them together.

Jordyn ooh! I keep tilting that picture and sometimes I think I see a very faint something, sometimes I don't Keep showing us tests! It's so exciting. I really did know I was pregnant both times so I believe we can just know we are pregnant.

Melissa I hope you're taking it easy and please don't worry too much, although I know that's easier said than done! It regenerates itself as well. Google has never been my friend either!

We're all good this end. Two very tired boys in our house, what with all the visiting we've been doing. Milo now appears to be down to one night feed Noah has pretty much dropped his only nap now. He might nap once a week but otherwise even if I put him upstairs he'll just talk to himself instead of sleep!

I'm about to start weaning Milo and am planning on doing BLW. I did traditional weaning last time but I can't be bothered with making purees, don't have time really so I'm going to cook a meal for the three of us every day (and DH at the weekends) and see how we go. He already stole a bit of scrambled egg and bagel off my plate the other day and seemed to really like it bless him.

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Well, my test today looks like yesterday's which makes me think I was just seeing the antibody strip or something. I still feel like I'm pregnant, but these tests are starting to make me doubt myself.

Stacey, I forgot to answer your question, sorry! Liam started sitting unsupported right around when he turned 5 months old. Alia didn't sit unsupported until she was 8 months old!

Vanessa, that's great that Milo is down to one night feed! Liam did that for about a week, and then went back to two, so hopefully he'll go back to one sometime soon. As for the BLW, I think might try it with Liam. I did a mix of BLW and traditional weaning with Alia and that worked out okay.

 

[Spiffynoodles]

12 dpo, and still no BFP! But I feel exactly like I did last month when I had my miscarriage! So if I am pregnant, the fact that I don't have a BFP yet, makes me feel like I'd be heading toward another chemical.

Here's my test today in case you want to look. I think there's more of a line in the picture than in real life (which is odd). https://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test-gallery/image.php?galleryid=217151

 

[HAKing]

Stacey, I love your pictures! Natalia looks so grown up. Sorry about your gallbladder but that is GREAT that you don't have MS. I'm sure that was such a relief to find out.

Melissa, try to take it easy and keep little miss cooking as long as possible!

Jordyn, I think I can see something but then again maybe not. Have you tested recently??

I can't believe how small Alia is still...sounds like Liam will pass her up soon!

Vanessa, it sounds like Milo is starting to sleep better for you. I noticed you said you were going to do BLW. What is that???

Logan, I love the picture of your 3 on Christmas! They are so cute

AFM, everything is good! Glad that the holidays are over...I love them when they are going on but so glad to see them go! Work is starting to slow down too which is a nice break for me.

The boys are doing great. Ben rolls from belly to back and back to belly now and has been sleeping on his belly most nights. He is pretty much night weaned which has been nice since I can get a full nights sleep most nights.

My stupid period came back on Sunday night though! I think since I was going so long without feeding overnight it was bound to happen I just didn't think it would be this soon! Oh well, now I get to track them and do all that fun stuff

Here are a few pictures of the boys...Sam is so in love with his brother, and vise versa! They always seem to be "talking" to each other; melts my heart
