Mid June and July Firecrackers Group Due June/July 2017!

[lesondemavie]

C is a bit warm tonight too. No fuss though. Just sleepy and comfort nursing. Only going to give meds if her temp gets too high or she can't settle. Otherwise taking it as a good sign that her body is building a strong immunity.

 

[DobbyForever]

I got s* on today it was my own carelessness lol

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

So I started my period yesterday and this has been the worst period of my life. The cramps are horrible...

 

[DobbyForever]

I'm sorry . I had a "period" when I started my mini pill but I don't think my body was quite ready to start those again because I had zero cramping and easy bleeds for a few days. I hope you feel better!

 

[DobbyForever]

A rolled over during tummy time! Yay! Pretty sure he's over 10lbs now too based on my home scale he was 10lbs 3oz yesterday

 

[Weebles]

Yay for rolling over! D hasn't yet but is super close. It's so exciting.

She is finally settling down and not crying for hours on end while I'm at work. Happy for her and DH about that.

Anyone else feeling broody? I sure am but no period yet for me.

 

[lesondemavie]

Hooray A! C is trying. Her head is just so big

Yay for settling weebles! DH is getting super overwhelmed thinking about that transition already. I tell him it will be an adjustment but we'll figure it out and she'll eventually settle. Three weeks to go and counting!

 

[DobbyForever]

Lol nope I am opposite of broody. Shop is clooosed I've been avoiding SO's advances because I was due to ovulate this last week and I was literally having nightmares we got pregnant

Weebles so glad she's getting used to it! I'm debating tossing A head in T daycare or doing a couple half days then three full days before I go to work

I wasn't expecting the roll. He has been rolling off me but on the floor he was struggling. Couldn't even get on his side then just out of nowhere he was up and over! He hasn't done it again since but I'm hoping he'll do it again later when he's less tired. I'm just thrilled because the PT said torticollis can affect milestones when it gets bad so I like to see this as his condition improving

 

[second.time]

Sorry about the cramping, gag. I found that my periods got much easier and more painless after giving birth. I had debilitating cramps when I was young though. Maybe these cramps are just because it's your first period and things will get easier and less painful?

I felt broody for a few weeks after having the baby, but we're committed to only having two kids, so I'm trying to just enjoy A.'s babyhood and look to the future.

Dobby, congratulations on the rolling! That's wonderful.

A. is getting REALLY mobile. I put him in his podster pillow and he kicks out almost immediately. He uses a combo of back-arching and kicking to propel himself around on his back, it's crazy. I can't trust him in one spot anymore! I've tried to get better at tummy time so he can get used to crawling. He's also started laughing now. But on the down side, he's NOT happy about not being held, he loves being with someone constantly, and that gets a little tiring. Some days I really long for free hands. Just trying to enjoy the tough times because he's my last.

Hi! I'm due June 11

 

[DobbyForever]

Congrats! But we were due 6/17 not 6/18. You're welcome to hang but we've all given birth . How crazy though because that means we were all newly pregnant a year ago!

Second I'm glad you are at peace. I teeter because we may or may not have a second. So I'm just living in the now and doing everything no regrets just in case

Yeah we do a lot of tummy time because pt wants him on his back as much as possible. She said by 4 months she wants him on his tummy any time he's not sleeping. Right now he tolerates it for 10m but he spits up if I don't wait 45m after a meal so we only do it 3-5x a day if we're lucky

 

[PrettyInInk42]

Sorry about your cramps, Gag. I haven't gotten a period since I stopped bleeding post birth, but that's fine by me for now. lol

Congrats on the roll over, Dobby. Alex isn't a huge fan of tummy time, but he'll sometimes tolerate it for up to 5 mins, if I'm lucky. I guess I just gotta keep at it and be ready to comfort him with a boob when he gets upset. lol

I think if you looked up "broody" in the dictionary, there'd be a pic of me. lol. For years, before I got pregnant, I had always said I'd like 3-5 kids. Everyone always told me "ha, just wait til you have one". Well, I now have one and I'd totally do it again. Now, I understand caring for 1 baby is different when you also have 1 or more older kids to care for too, but when it comes to being pregnant and delivering again, I'd do it in a heartbeat for more.

I've actually already had 2 baby dreams; one where BD and I were possibly gonna adopt some orphan baby who looked just like Alex and one where I gave birth to another boy. I told BD about both dreams (at separate times) and he gave me this wide-eyed, scared/"are you crazy?" look. And my mom has told me she's scared I'll get pregnant again too. So, perhaps we'll wait before having another. I'd love to get pregnant while on mat leave though. I'd just need to make sure to be back at work for at least 13 weeks before I deliver again and then there's another year of government cheques and not having to worry about paying for daycare. I realize this is dumb and makes me sound like some stupid baby crazy teenager, I just don't wanna be having babies when I'm much older. I'll be 30 in less than 7 months.

 

[DobbyForever]

Pretty I don't think that sounds dumb or crazy at all. Especially if you only have to go back to work for 13w to reap the benefits.

Yeah I started tummy time at 2 weeks for 30s 3-5x a day. Then by 1 month he could tolerate 3-5m. One day I just decided to let him go until he cries instead of timing and he went to 10m. So now I just let him tell me when he is done. It's never less than 5 and never more than 15. Just depends on his mood.

Tired of pumping 3 hours a day so I'm officially on 3600mg of fenugreek, 2 cups of mother's milk, oatmeal, and almonds. A Kelly mom article said she got herself up from 24 to 35oz a day, and I'm at 22-23 (pumping 3 hours a day) with a kid who eats 24oz.

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Pretty first off I don't blame you.. This period sucks but supposedly they should get better after this one.. I also think that's awesome that you're already ready for another.. I'm 33 and I'm not sure I want another and if I do it won't be for at least another year and a half earliest.

Dobby I'm jealous.. P only does about five minutes or so of tummy time before she starts whining and I still let her go until she full on cries.

Speaking of P, im thinking she's going through a growth spurt as she is wanting to eat every hour or two and only drinks 2-2.5 oz the last two days and before that she was up to 4-5oz every 2.5-3.5 hours... She only slept a four hour stint tonight and she was up to six-eight hours at a time before.. So I'm assuming she's growing. If this lasts longer than a week I'll call her pediatrician.

 

[lesondemavie]

C is doing the same thing gag. They do go through a big growth spurt right around 2 months not to mention a big mental leap and their first shots. It's a lot all at once. I'm just doing what I can to get her through it.

 

[DobbyForever]

Aww yeah A just suddenly overnight went from 2oz to 3oz and from 18-20oz a day to 22-24. It was crazy. The nice thing is now from 7 to 7 he is only up twice (1:30 and 6), whereas before he would be up anywhere from 4-5x.

And careful what you wish for him tolerating tummy time is from painful gas (so he loves that it helps him fart and burp lol) and the torticollis/PT telling me to keep him on his belly as much as humanly possible. I think 5ms is the norm for two months according to my google searches.

And for what it's worth he has been nowhere near rolling over again so Idk what was in his fruity pebbles that morning lol

 

[Catalyst]

So Herdís is realy geting good at grabing things and has started trying to put it in her mouth. Sólveig too but is not as good at it. Herdís managed ro turn from tummy to back.maby month ago dor few times ut never since and Im not sure if Sólveig has. They both get to their sides if they want (Sólveig more than Herdís) and both scoot sround on their back and sometimes almost full circle. For almost a week Sólveig has turned from back to tummh and then gets annoied and we have to help her back for her to turn right away again haha. Also Sólveig does crunches like she is trying to sit up just by using her abs haha funny but amazibg hiw high she can lift herself.
Looking forward to next months developments

 

[DobbyForever]

That's awesome! Congrats! I have to keep reminding myself A is a month behind lol. But that's so awesome how they're progressing!

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Dobby P hasn't even tried to roll over yet... So don't feel bad

 

[DobbyForever]

Yeah honestly at this point I just think it was a fluke cuz he can't figure it out anymore buahaha

These people are totes flirting and talking about murses in the medical records office lmfao

I should have just emailed this form but ain't nobody got a scanner at home except real adults like my parents haha
