We moved georgia just before 6 months she took to it really well, has all her naps in there too. Sometimes her morning nap can be 2 and a half hrs!! I say enjoy it while u can rosa I sure am! she never used to nap long at all so I am loving it!

 

[Wilsey]

I was wondering. Lots of people on this site say they are keeping baby in their room for the first year. This seems like ages to me!!

 

[skeet9924]

A year seems long to me too.. I'm planning on moving Carson by 4 months

 

[armywife11]

We hit the 9 month sleep regression... and someone just moved back to our room so we could get some sleep.

 

[Wilsey]

I think four - six months is a good age. We moved Wills at 4 months. He slept through the night so didn't really need to be in our room. Our video monitor provided me the security I needed to know he was breathing and safe.

Plus, we really didn't want any major issues with the transition, and figured the sooner the better. So now he sleeps like a dream in his own room.

Best of luck with the sleep regression armywife! It is a bit of a pain, but brilliant when they go back to their normal routine

 

[skeet9924]

Wilsey that is my thinking.. Carson sleeps through the night now at 3 months.. I'm considering moving him in soon so it's not harder later.. The only reason he's in our room still is my own selfish reasons

This turned into a vent so I am sorry girls!!

So I have been sick two or three times, all sudden, all with odd symptoms, and not a single doctor knew what the issue was. I have also not been feeling like myself and have several symptoms of baby blues which makes no sense because in all honesty life is really easy. So I recently went in concerned it was Lupus or some other immune issue since it does run in my family and I was sent to a specialist. He thinks I have something wrong with my parathyroid glands. All my symptoms match it and the lab work they did here on base confirms that it could be such issue. (Keeping in mind this is not his specialty and he just looked at my lab work they did here and the same symptoms I gave my doctor here.) He did some more labs while I was there and now I am waiting to hear back.

He said this could also be the cause of my missing periods. Even though I am still breastfeeding I have seen and felt all the signs that my body is trying to get back into "babymaking order" but aunt flow is never to be seen.

Its just been a long two days and I am upset that had I not gone in and requested the ANA test, and had it not been positive, this could have gone on diagnosed even longer. When I mentioned to my doctor here about it he said to stop breastfeeding and it should come back. Clearly I did not accept that advice. We are not going to try for another baby right now anyway.

I know a lot of women have to stop nursing completely for it to come back I just don't know a single person who had that happen to. Let alone have all the cramps and pain.

 

[rosabelle]

oh gosh Armywife, the not knowing and waiting is the worst isnt it..
i hope you get some answers soon..
we are always here to listen to vents! lol
if i had the time i would probably vent alot more

Ethan moved into his room around 7 months I think. He slept like a dream from 3-5 months and then all hell broke loose and I figured it couldn't get any worse if he moved into his own room at that point. (I was wrong.) he's been back and forth through two regressions now and is finally :knocks wood... Quietly: sleeping well again, in his room!

 

[jmandrews]

Aw armywife I hope u get answers soon. I'll be thinking about u. Keep us updated.

So some news here. My DH got a offer for a position down in Louisville,KY. So we will be moving soon. I am a bit devastated because I have never moved away from family and friends. I know this will be a great move for my family. We are getting our house ready to sell and my hubby has to be down there in 4 weeks. I also have to find a new house. the stress is killing me. I hope this all happens quickly. So difficult having a 10 month old. Just thought I'd share. I may be MIA for a big but I will check in when I can.

 

[Wilsey]

army - that's awful!! I hope you get some answers soon x

jm - best of luck lovely! I hope everything goes smoothly x

Can't believe I only have 18 weeks to go. It's flying by so quickly compared to last time! Time to start thinking of names. What do you ladies think of the two that we have on our list so far?

Emily Grace Vautier
Elise May Vautier

 

[rosabelle]

I like Emily Grace, Wilsey! very cute!

 

[Wilsey]

Thanks Rosa - that was hubby's suggestion. Mine was Elise. I like Emily more than he likes Elise so I think we might almost be decided!

 

[skeet9924]

Ill have to vote Emily! That is actually the name we have chosen for when and if we ever have a girl

 

[Wilsey]

Nawwww skeet! We might both have a little girl named Emily - cauuute!

 

[jmandrews]

Thank you wilsey!

Love the name Elise. But I really love the flow and sound of Emily Grace. Both very wait idyl names

DH and I have decided to no longer prevent but at the same time not exactly TTC. We are just going to see what happens and if by September no baby we will start TTC. I am very excited about giving Everlee and baby brother or sister.

 

[Wilsey]

That's what we did jm. Hubby is a shift worker and sometimes works around O time. Last time I had to say 'wake me up at 2am when you get home... we have to DTD'. This time we didn't worry about timing and it happened the first month!!

Very exciting for you both!

 

[jmandrews]

Haha funny how that works. hope it's that easy for us.

 

[skeet9924]

That's exciting jm!! I can't believe you ladies are ttc again!! As of now oh and I don't plan on ttc until Carson is 3.. But we will see how that goes. Oh actually tried to convince me to give away Carson old clothes!! I told him he was nuts!! What happens if we have another boy down the road!!

 

[armywife11]

Good luck JM! We are on the same page as you Skeet but not out of choice. Just trying to plan a baby on army time is depressing.
