Aww, I hate it that some of our little ones are already getting sick. : ( I know it happens in these winter months, though!
So far, Davis has been great : ) He was 4 weeks old yesterday, which is hard to believe! He is overall an easy baby--sleeps great, eats well, and is gaining weight right on track. He has been having some problems with gas, though. We've tried a couple of different formulas, and changing it has made a small difference, but then the problem came right back. Yesterday we started using gripe water--we give him a half dose every time he eats. So far, it has been like a miracle in a bottle lol. Hopefully this fix is what he needs!
I hope everyone is doing well--I know most people have joined the FB group, but I'm not on facebook. Hope to continue to see great updates here, though. : )
Hope that the gripe water continues to work for you soblessed!
I'm in the FB group but I still check in here as well. It's hard to get on either as Isabelle takes up much of my time. While she's napping I try to do other things, such as shower, laundry, food shopping, bills, etc, lol.
Izzy is 7 weeks old now, she'll be 8 weeks on Friday. She's 12 1/2 lbs. now (was 6 lbs 13 oz when we left the hospital). She's beginning to outgrow her 3 month sized clothes *depending no the brand*. We just had to go buy more 3-6 month stuff (but most of it is so huge!).
We took her to see the Enchanted village (it's a christmas display village thing that was created by a bulgarian artist in the early 1900s or something that was a Boston tradition in Jordan Marsh department stores, then filenes, and then our City Hall for a few years). It's beautiful to walk through and a really popular holiday tradition here in our area.
Izzy slept through almost the whole thing! She woke up as we were leaving but was perplexed by the display of teddy bears and a sleigh with presents by the exit. She was looking at my husband like "What the heck is that awesome stuff!?"
She's beginning to socially smile a lot more this week. Yesterday she was smiling up a storm. She's starting to coordinate her senses and motor control. She reaches for toys, grabs her hair, and puts her hands in her mouth on purpose now. Her head/neck is getting stronger. She moves her head and holds it up for a second or two here or there. She tolerates more and more tummy time each day.
AFM: I was cleared for sex at my 6 week PP appointment but I'm terrified to have it! TMI: We tried that evening of my appointment and when the time came for internal stuff I couldn't do it! I was too scared. Luckily my husband is understanding lol.
I also ended up getting my first period that night. So exactly 6 weeks PP my AF returned. I thought something was wrong lol. I'm exclusively breast feeding on demand so even the nurse at my OBs office had to check with the Dr. to make sure it was okay. It lasted for 8 days (so long) but then went away all at once on day 8 in the afternoon. I went from a normal flow to nothing, not even spotting! (Which is soooo weird for me.
Anyway, can't wait to hear from other ladies on here.
