Ugh alia's sleeping is getting worse...she's does at 630/7pm then up at 8pm Cuz she rolled over to her back and she hates sleeping on her back...then wakes at 10pm Cuz thats when dh dream feeds her...but now she expects it. Then she's been waking at 3am and I've been having issues getting her back to sleep...I try not to feed her cuz I think she can last longer then 5 hr between feedings....but it usually ends up I feed her at 430 and we Dont really sleep between 3-430. Then she might go back down for an hr. I can't wait till Thur at her 6 month apt ..we r hoping they tell us she's old enough to make it all night and we can just pit her to bed and not go back in until morning....I know its mean but I Dont know what else to do!

Nikki-this is kinda what we are going through-do you think she is waking at 3am habitually? Is it he same time every night? Have you heard of "wake-to-sleep"? When babies wake habitually and aren't hungry you set an alarm for an hour before they are habitually waking up and go in their room and stroke their cheek/arm/foot just until they stir and then leave the room. This wakes them enough to reset the sleep cycle and she should be able to break the 3am habit in 3-5 days.
For the rolling over-do you use a sheet saver? I have a sheet saver in Kay's crib and I rolled two recieving blankets up and stick them on either side of her underneath the sheet saver so they can't suffocate her. It makes kind of a barrier on each side so she can't roll.

So I have my dating scan tomorrow and was planning to announce afterwards. I was wanting to add a little bit about my losses but not too much as my husband is quite personal. Does anyone have any ideas please?
Also my friend has just had stillborn twins at 29 weeks so I need to be delicate with wording etc. I was thinking of hiding the post from her but then I worried that she might be upset that I hid it from her. What do you think?

LONG time no see everyone 
Reading a little bit in the few moments I ever get on a computer these days lol. Gabriel is 9 weeks now, and keeping me going nonstop! He is quite the fussy baby, which really sucks 
He has bad reflux and is on meds, and has really slow digestion which means a lot of fussiness, grunts, discomfort, waking up many times, etc. He is a terrible napper and not a good sleeper at night either. I sound like a terrible mom! It really is exhausting though, mentally and physically. There are days I feel super inadequate as a mother and wonder how I am going to get through this, but gottra remind myself he wont be a baby forever and I will miss him being so little. I am totally smitten by that face though, so in love! He has gone through a lot already with his little ear (getting a temp hearing aide on a softband this week), physical therapy for torticollis weekly, the horrible acid reflux, astigmatism in his right eye, and that is all we know of right now. We also have a teacher and nurse coming to the house weekly to evaluate him, weight him, etc. etc. I am overwhelmed! We have to see a geneticist here in the future to see if he has any associated problems with a couple syndromes.
Oh also, he hasnt smiled YET! He is 9 weeks, 5 weeks adjusted, and I really expected it by now. Makes me so sad, especially on the days where he is just wailing all day long. Anyone had a baby just smile and coo a little later? I worry about his cognitive development.

Good to "see" you Molly!! So sorry you and Gabriel are having such a rough start. Not sure about the smiling thing but I would guess that maybe having a sensory problem might put him a little behind? That is totally a guess though. I hope that's all it is. Babies do things at different times. I have to remind myself of that bc I see other babies doing things that Ellie isn't yet. He will catch up. Sounds like there is just a lot going on right now. Post a pic! I wanna see his squishy face!

Morning ladies, a tornado went through the farm tonight. Luckily so far everything seems ok, the lower road is still closed due to powerlines down and trees. We aren't sure how the neighbors are fairing. one friend has fifty head of cattle that took off. It's nuts.

Glad you are safe Katrina! Praying for you and your community.
Bb, what a great picture! Glad baby looks good. Congratulations on your take home rainbow.
Molly, yoy are a great mama! Hang in there! Praying for good news for you.
Sorry for all I have missed. I have been BUSY!! Yard work, house work, family functions, work work, getting things ready for baby.. 11.5 weeks to go! My blood pressure has been up some. 170 Friday but came down after my pill, then a 164, a couple 150's and some 140's. I usually run 130's mayyyybe 140 so keeping a close eye on it. If it stays up, calling my doc tomorrow or Wednesday. Not sleeping good. Uncomfortable and sore. My left hip/butt and where my legs connect on the inside. Not my crotch.. right next door. Haha. It's weird and I walk funny.. oh well!! So worth it. Today should be my last really hard day for awhile I think. We buried our son a year ago today. Hard to believe it's been so long already. Getting through today one breath at a time.

I'm trying
Molly, he's adorable!
I was folding baby clothes yesterday after washing all the newborn and 0-3 and realized I only have 4 heavy sleepers and 3 pairs of pants. Oops. Poor little naked baby!
Guess I need to shop! and wash the bigger stuff to see what he has. He had about 10 pairs of shorts and 20 light sleepers because everything was for a summer baby and not fall.

Katrina- Glad you are safe! How scary!
Sandy-Sending you big hugs.
Molly- I know how you feel! Evan is a very fussy baby and will only sleep when I am holding him, plus he has major food sensitiives so I am barely eating anything except chicken and turkey. Have you tired a wrap or sling? I am trying to get Evan to sleep in his swing but it is hard because all he wants to do is snuggle! The moby wrap has been my savior! It is true that they will only be this little for so long, but every day is so trying. Last night all three of us, Evan, me and my daughter were just crying.. what a sight we would have been! You are doing so great and he is just beautiful! I believe Evan smiled around 6 weeks. Hopefully Gabriel will bless you with a smile soon!
