re: ~Official December 2012 Due Date Thread~

My guy wakes every 2-3 hrs to nurse. He eats for 5-10 mins and we go back to sleep.

Quoting Lizplustwo:" So cute! I posted a thread with some pics my friend did of Aria, but here's one: "

Very cute.

<blockquote><b>Quoting sillygirltracyb_caius1222:</b>" <blockquote><b>Quoting Liz McArthur:</b>" A couple pics of my babies!!! "</blockquote> ... [snip!] ... sleeping much at night. One good stretch ranges from 2.5 -3.5 hours. . The next are only 1.5 tops... 5wks and 2 days today."</blockquote>




Yeah...that sounds prey much exactly the same as Carter. He's not much of a sleeper lol. I've been exhausted. Especially with a almost 2 year old to add to it...it's been alot of work. But they are so worth it. This pay doesn't last. My daughter slept the same way for months. She didn't sleep thru the night til after 1 year old.

Aria had two really good nights where she slept 6 solid hours...apparently it was just a fluke because she hasn't slept at night since. She refuses to sleep in her bassinet - she doesn't like sleeping flat on her back. I think because she has a lot of congestion, so when she's on her back she starts snorting and wakes herself up. No matter how sound asleep she is when we lay her down, she wakes up every time. Sometimes if I swaddle her and give her a paci she'll stay asleep for an hour or two...but for the most part we have to sleep in shifts so someone can be up with her. I don't think it's a matter of wanting to be with me either...I've tried lying her next to me in bed with the same result, and her bassinet (pack n' play one) is pushed up against the bed and is on the same level, so she's pretty much right next to me anyway. Our mattress is too soft for co-sleeping, but we're only separated by the mesh side of the pack n' play so I don't feel like that's the problem. She's only inches from me and it doesn't help.

Well sorry for yall not sleeping much either but I was starting to feel alone w my non sleeper. .. altho we had a great night last night. .. two 3 hour stretches. . Back to back. .. mind u I was up longer bc I simultaneously pumped and just couldn't sleep because he would stir and id think he was ready to wake.. much better last night. . And I'll take that again.

I'm so thankful I'm off 12 weeks and now I have someone coming 2 hours a day so I can do some work from home which enablesme to get paid these 12 wks.

Jovany is 2 months now!! He got his 2 month shots yesterday.   he cried but it is good for him. I wasn't the bad guy though. I made my husband hold him down because I couldn't do it. With our first I couldn't either, I had my mom do it. Hope everyone is doing well.

I get to do that on Feb 19th. I was always by myself when I took my first so I had to hold him down or let a nurse do it. I chose to do it myself. I'll man up for this one too. It sucks to see them cry but I'd rather be right there than standing aside watching.

Go in for my 6 week checkup tomorrow, I had lost 16 lbs at 2 wks I'm hoping I've at least lost 5 more :-/ I'm gonna be so discouraged if I haven't. This flabby mess has GOT to go!

mine was supposed to be today but I'm going on Tuesday instead. When I'm in my clothes I look okay like I didn't have a baby. but when I'm naked and sitting, my stomach looks so fat still. so that's a bummer. I don't know if I'm going to care enough to start working out again. we have a pool in our backyard so no 1 will ever have to see me in a swimsuit lol. it's funny that's the 1 thing that I thought of when I realized I was going to the doctor next week was that I could finally take a bath. Even though I haven't had sex for 2 or 3 months.that's been the furthest thing from my mind.

I have to go for an ultrasound today because after 7 weeks I'm still bleeding. It keeps tapering off to almost nothing and then picking back up again. The midwife felt my belly and said my uterus is a little larger than it should be at this point, so she wants to do an ultrasound to check for any retained placenta or fibroids.

See I live 10 mins from the beach & water parks.. We live there in the summer- so I started working out Saturday. I got back in my size 7 jeans but I'm reaaaaaally wanting to be back in my 3's by march when I go back to work. I would be ecstatic!
I've taken like 3 baths already- they didn't tell me not too. Just no sex, or anything up there lol.

Ive never seen a size 3.. I think im a 9 in stretchy jeans. Idk.. im wearing most of my pre pregnancy jeans but I have a lil belly so the tight shirts are definitely OUT.. I went to DH work today for a baby shower for us and another couple. Their LO was born dec 27 and ours dec 22 and I bet that girl was hating me.. unless she was a big girl before before she started. . Actually I was smaller than any female in the room... so I felt pretty good . Im very curvy and hippy tho so I dont mind my weight but I still need to lose 8 pounds to get to pre pregnancy weight.. figure that's my belly. Or at least the only place I WANT to lose it from.. well my boobs are probably double.. wanna keep those too
