Good luck Bella!!

Lol your little girl is beautiful hopefully you start feeling better soon

We had the one month check up today. Isabela is doing great! She is up to 7lb 5oz and 19in long! She has gained two pounds this month and grown 2 inches! No wonder her clothes are getting tight her skin is very sensitive and she gets a heat rash all around her face and neck, dr prescribed a moisturizer to help but she didn't react well to it so now we just have to be patient. It doesn't bother her but its not pretty I wish there was something I could do to make it better

We were discharged by the MW today, Mason weighed in at 9lb 6. HV is coming tomorrow.

Scottish, does Hama have good wet diapers and poop regularly? If so then he is getting plenty and his weight should be good.

I had to take Henry for repeat labs today. It hurt my heart. I'm grateful I work in the NICU so I know not to worry about the repeat. I still hate it.

 

[JenzyKY]

Go Bella go! Hope it is fast for you!

Sooz lovin the pics!

Jolley tongue tie is when the bit of skin attached at the bottom of the tongue is to far forwar preventing them from moving the tongue freely.

Nhs description of it:
What is tongue-tie?

Tongue-tie is a birth defect that affects 3-10% of newborn babies. It is more common in boys than girls.
Normally, the tongue is loosely attached to the base of the mouth with a piece of skin called the lingual frenulum. In babies with tongue-tie, this piece of skin is unusually short and tight, restricting the tongue’s movement.
This prevents the baby from feeding properly and also causes problems for the mother.

 

[JenzyKY]

How do you all entertain your babies? Henry has a lot of awake time and he ends up crying as I can't keep him occupied.

 

[Sooz]

Thanks ladies, and yes his hair is pretty amazing! I get asked all the time if I had heartburn with him (and I did terribly).

His dad and sister have amazing blue eyes so hopefully he'll get to keep them too!

 

[Barhanita]

Sooz, he is adorable.

 

[pola17]

Jenzy: I have nooooo idea! Hope you get tips!
