January Jellybeans 2013!...

Oh sorry the beast & the gremlin are acting up Trissy & Aruppe, definitely something about Sundays! I'm in the Southern Hemisphere so it's Monday here now & Harry is a different baby today! I wish the same for you guys tomorrow, I'm sure they'll be angels :)

Ditty, my supply is good I think, it definitely could be fussiness from the letdown, but usually his fussiness is later in the feed so I kinda feel like maybe it could be both that & gas pains.

Thanks ladies, glad we have each other for support when we don't know what the heck is going on!!!

Hope Nash is feeling better Darkstar.

Thanks Lillian!! Here's hoping it was just a bad day! We went over to my parents house for the Super Bowl and he gave my mom a run for her money too! We just got up for feeding now and he seems better- hopefully it lasts!
 
I'm just up with Maddie for a feeding right now. Seems The Beast is sleeping and my sweet little girl is back. She slept for 3.5 (glorious) hours and now that her feeding is done, here is hoping she will go back for another 3-4!

I took her to my mom's for her super bowl party and she was awake for six straight hours! I think that's why she is sleeping so well tonight. I think we are on to something here. Keep her awake all afternoon and evening and she will be out all night.

And that just made me think of the saying "sleep like a baby" - obviously coined by someone who did not have children when pen was put to paper. Sheesh!
 
So... I'm pretty sure I got my period back... I'm just confused because I always thought that if you breastfeed you don't get periods???
 
My smiley guy is back today as well! Put him on the changing table and he was just kicking and smiling away! We're venturing out on our first shopping trip together today... Should be fun!

And Oliver is one month old today!!

Jaime- could he more pp bleeding but its also not unheard of to get AF now...
 
We took Lilah over to my parents; house yesterday, about a 45 minute drive, for my sister's birthday. I was bragging away about how Lilah has switched to sleeping for 3 hour blocks at night between feedings. So last night, she got back at me for saying it. She woke up every hour to snack and then pass back out. Finally at 4 this morning, I handed her off to my husband so I could get a little bit of sleep. He gave her back to me at 7, she had her first full feeding of the night and was out by 8. I put her in her rocker because she kept waking up on me and she's still sleeping now, after 10. Its a nice break.

I just learned that my grandfather died last night. He was 92, and that eases the sadness a little. But only a little. :cry:
 
Very sorry about your grandfather brieri... And don't our lo's have a knack for knowing when we tell people that kind of thing? We got our first 6 hour block the other night- went to family's house and told them and that night was awful!! I'm just going to keep my mouth shut from now on!!

I am sorry for your loss. It doesn't matter that he was old, the pain is the same.
 
So, this poncho kills me. Just had to share.

Brier - I'm sorry for your loss :hugs:

Archie stayed at Nanny's last night and I think he played her up a little, he wanted feeding every three hours then took ages to settle then woke 5,6 and 7 am only took an oz then went back to sleep. I felt so bad but in a way I'm glad as he does it to me every night and people think I'm telling fibs because he's always asleep when they come round. Mums manage to keep him awake for most of today so I'm hoping he will sleep tonight. Let's see x
 
So sorry to hear, brier

Loooove the poncho, ditty!!

I'm determined to get birth announcements done this week. Anyone care to share theirs with the group?? I would love to see some!
 
I got my announcements out in the mail today... I can post a pic on Facebook of what they look like! I did them on walmarts website and they came out pretty cute and were very reasonable! I usually do shutterfly but didn't have any good sales or codes running at the time.

Little man spent an hour on his activity mat today happy as a clam! Did a bunch of tummy time and he was able to hold his head up for awhile and managed to roll himself onto his side a few times :)
 
these were Andrews' birth announcements..its crazy he looks nothing like this anymore!

Super cute Lauren!! Are you on Facebook? We were talking within the group page about potentially having all the east coast ladies meeting up sometime in the spring... Would you be interested? We're thinking maybe in Philly!!
 
Sorry for your loss, Brier.

DH has realized that he can tell how well Katie and I slept by how much milk I pump in the morning (I've done a pumping session every morning since my milk came in). The night before last she slept 6 hours straight from 12-6 and I pumped 11 oz. This morning I had only 4 oz. She was up almost every hour from 3-7 am. Ugh. I hope she sleeps well tonight!!
 
Here is our announcement. I blanked out our names at the bottom for internet purposes.
