Sticking Together Until We Are In Diapers Ourselves!

[Wishing1010]

I was trying to remember aspects of my pregnancy and now it all seems like a blur! The longest 9 months of my life have been superceded by these 4 months with Shelby lol.

There are moments when it is hard and frustrating but those times are so minimal compared to the amazing times.

I second that!

I'll third them on this one!

I love being a mom and even though I have had days where I felt like I didn't know what I was doing and that I had no business being a mom I pretty much feel like I was born to be a mom.
Seeing him smile just confirms that I am doing what I was meant to do.

You are going to love it!

Any suggestions for baby hiccups?
Alex hiccuped for 4 hours straight over night, had a 15 minute break and is going again. He's hiccuped through feeds, sleep, nappy change, cry, burps.... this is getting ridiculous

Gripe water helps Shelby!

I have a reassurance scan this morning at 6w1d... what should I expect to see?

Sorry I missed this....do you have any pics? How did your scan Friday go?

Good luck at the scan!

I'm an Occupational Therapist. What about everyone else?

I was a teachers aide in a high needs classroom, but now I'm a stay at home mommy.

Um well at 6w1d all she could see was the yolk sac and a tiny dot which she reckons is the baby?

Sounds like everything is on track.

ladies... sorry i've been mia for ages... i missed you all. Been so busy. Glad to see everyone's doing well. Luke and Matthew are so adorable.

Natasha, glad your scan went well....

Accountant here.

Here's some of Adam's pictures.

Awwwww Daphne. Adam is so cute. How is your vacation?

Matthew was 4 months old on Friday and he gets a bit fussy when trying to achieve/learn new things. He did however master the back to belly roll which was so cute. I got to see him in each position and even take a pic.

STEP 1: Roll over onto belly

STEP 2: Start taking arms out from underneath you

STEP 3: Lift head up high and watch mom cheer like a funky monkey

Here is his monthdate pic too - 4 Months old
It was a bit of a mission to get the pic taken because he kept wanting to roll over hahaha

Awwww princess Shelby!

How is motherhood treating you all?

I agree with the other ladies that it's pretty great, but so hard!

Matthew's hiccups pretty much sort itself out lately. In the beginning though if he had a spell I would breastfeed and that normally helped within minutes of latching.

Hope gripe water helps like Jess and Kenna suggested

Pam, I love how you captured his roll over! That's too cute! I can't believe how fast all of these babies have grown!

So sorry ladies for not updating in a long time.

We just got back home from a 3D2N vacation in the summer capital of the philippines - baguio - one of the cold places here. Went there to renew our professional licenses with some of DH's family. It was fun but exhausting. Here's some of our pics mostly Adam though.

Will give proper update in no time.

I'll be posting a Cameron update on Friday as he will be 3 MONTHS OLD! Holy crap, slow dowwwwwwn!

 

[MamaBunny2]

Cameron turned three months old this past Friday!

He is growing so much! He is primarily wearing 3-6 month clothing but some 6-9 sizes and size 2 diapers, though I think we'll be bumping him up to 3's here soon. We got him a little seat because he loves to sit upright. He HATES tummy time, but I had seen this little pillow thing at the store that I thought he'd like so of course I had to get that too. Glad I did, he will actually stay on his tummy for lengthy periods now. He can hold his head up well when sitting, but still working on raising it when on his belly. He coos and squeals and babbles so much. I set him in his booster seat with tray and put little toys in front of him to grab and pick up... of course it all goes straight to his mouth! I'm not sure how much he weighs currently. Last appointment at the end of October he was weighing 13lbs so based on his past weight gain I estimate him to be at least 15lbs if not more. He goes back to the pediatrician at the end of December, when he's 4 months old. I haven't visited the LC or anything for a weight check because he is visibly doing so well weight-wise. Breastfeeding is SO much easier now, like I don't even worry about anything with that really. Cameron has been doing SO well sleeping at night too. He usually gets fussy at about 10pm and will nurse til he falls asleep, then wakes for a diaper change and feed around 3am and back to sleep for a couple hours. Sometimes, he sleeps through the night which is nice but I prefer him to wake at least once to nurse otherwise it gets painful! Last night he slept from 10pm - 5am! He even fell back asleep after a diaper change and feed twice after that! He's just such a good baby, I am so blessed I hated having to go back into work after a four day Thanksgiving weekend

Ok now tons of baby spam!

Adam is so cute and getting so big Daphne!

 

[MamaBunny2]

Got family photos taken over the weekend and also for Cameron's first Christmas.

 

[Kirsty3051]

:wave: Hey ladies! Haven't had much time to get on here recently. How are you all doing?

Jyllian - I can't see any of the pictures you've uploaded. Not sure if it's my laptop, Bnb or the photos themselves.

Party planning has been in full swing for the past week. My little Luca turns 1 in just over a week!

 

[Jrepp]

I can't believe Luca is almost a year old! Time sure flies!

Update on Luke: he had a visit with the gi this week because he is still doing pretty poorly with weight gain and blood/mucus in stool. They put him on elecare and have me pump and storing to see if he gets a bit better. I can try to reintroduce breast milk the 22nd. We also found out via a cardiologist that Luke has an innocent heart murmur which means his blood sounds a bit funny as it travels through his heart and he also as a small hole in the wall of his heart that should be okay.

 

[MamaBunny2]

Well crap, Kirsty. Not sure what's going on I can still see them... Is anyone else having trouble?

So who is left to give birth still? Laura, Mary and Natasha... how are you doing?

Daphne I can't believe Adam is 6 months old already!!!
