February Love Bugs

[mommytobe11]

My LO is growing like a weed as well! He turned 1 month on the 14th. He's nursing like a champ (first time I've been successful with breastfeeding ) wearing 3 month clothing already which he's almost to long for nights are hit or miss on how well he sleeps. Usually he wills nurse around 8 or 9 and then sleep till 12 or 1 and then it's about every two hours for the rest of the night until about 7am when I am up for the day with my other two.

Mommytobe11 did you want to go back so soon or did you have to? I have 4 more weeks until I go back and I'm dreading it already.

I really wish I didn't have to. But I'm a hairstylist and work for myself so can't risk losing clients and if I don't work I don't make money. It sucks. SUCKS. The only thing that makes me feel a little ok is that I only work two days a week.

Congratulations everyone on the new arrivals! Our identical twin boys Riley and Finley were born on the 4th of Feb. I was originally induced for natural delivery but took 4 days for any activity so it was a c-sec in the end. Both boys were healthy and good weights, 5lb9 and 5lb6. Neither needed special care and we were home a few days later. They are now 9 weeks old and growing by the second! Recovered really well from section just thankful that everything went well. Hope you're all enjoying time with your new bundles of joy

How Is everyone doing? It's been super quiet in here lately. Everything is going well here with my little man. We are breastfeeding like champions. I was never successful with my other two so I'm very excited this time. I have 171.5oz in the freezer for when I go back to work which sadly is tomorrow little mans 2 month check up was this past Friday and he is now 24in and 14lbs8oz. He is growing like a little weed and now wearing 6 month clothing.

Hope everyone else is doing well! Would love to hear some updates

My DD was eventually born on 6th march so is "only" 6 weeks old. She lost quite a lot of weight initially but has since put on 2lbs with an 80% tongue tie! They weighed her when they cut it a week ago and she's due to be weighed at her 6 week check tomorrow so will see if she's putting it on faster. She's almost too long for 0-3m clothes already and was only 9lb1oz last week! Should last at least another 3lbs in theory although that didn't work for size 1 nappies! Proud army wife are you in the usa? We are blessed in the uk with our maternity in comparison, hopefully it will stay that way in the future as i believe the eu set guidelines for that sort of thing! (Although no.2 was/is completely off the table after my labour experience and itxwasn't really that bad in the grand scheme of things!)

Yes I am in the US. I got to stay home for 9 weeks but we are starting to struggle a bit so I had to go back. My first week back wasn't horrible but I definitely missed my little man.
