how is everyone doing?

Question

Hey, Mama's I was just wondering how everyone is doing? I feel like there was much more activity when we were all expecting and in the first few months! Just thinking about all of you!! Hope all is well with everyone and I hope we are all adjusting well and things are calming down!!

Love this group and grateful to all the help throughout the last months!! ((Hugs))! 😘

Answer

Doing great! Month one was hard and breastfeeding almost took me out! But we powered through and are still going strong! Going back to work was tough, but seeing how much baby girl enjoys day care, I got over being sad real fast. My 7 lb 15 oz 21.5 inches long baby is now 18 lbs and 27 inches long and has two teeth. :) We sleep through the night sometimes...and never get to bed before 9.  I have a very serious baby who loves to "read" books and talk to her toes. Her smile melts my heart! 💓 I don't know how I can even love her any more than I do already, but as each new day comes, I do!

Answer

We're doing pretty well now. The first few months were a struggle lol. Now my son's 7 months old, eating all the time, & loves his solids.

Answer

Was much harder than I expected, sleep deprivation, emotions, not knowing if your doing it right, late night early am google was a godsend and this blog. My LO had a rough start with thick mucousy like egg white in her nostrils, sick and poo several times daily- eventually diagnosed as reflux and dairy and soya allergy. Emergency visits to hospital, NHS 111 phone calls etc...
Breast feeding was harder than I thought too but proud I've made it 7 months and 2 weeks for her.everything is getting easier now they can sort of communicate to you what they want and they they are happy 🤗😍 
I think now the hardest thing is weaning, is it enough, how often, am I over/under feeding, is she getting the right nutrients etc... am sure it will like this till they are 18yrs log ha ha!

Answer

We are doing fine but I hold my daughter for every nap, nurse to sleep, and bed share!!!!   I was doing GREAT the first 3 months.  She slept in a bassinet.  She grew out of it and stayed in our bed.   I don't even know where to begin to change these habits.   It's so overwhelming.  Everyday I think I'm going to try but I just don't.    I need help.

Answer

Doing so much better than the first month; I almost don't believe he's the same baby. He loves daycare because he's so social, and he's overall such a happy baby. He's crusing through physical milestones so fast my head is spinning but I'm thankful he's so strong.

I'm still pretty active in this group because sleep still eludes us! He either has rockstar nights here he's only up once around 3 am or nights like last night where he was up at 11:30, 1:30, 4:00, and 5:15 (after I got up early to shower before his usual wake up time around 6:00/6:30).

Answer

We are good.  Work is stressful with trying to take care of a baby too, but it is what it is for now.  Hazel is so sweet.  She isn't great at soothing herself or falling asleep on her own, but she's a happy baby overall.  I feel like becoming
 a mom has really changed me, but I'm loving it.

Answer

We're doing good 😊 I feel blessed every day spending all my time with him. I'm loving this age because he is so full of character! My maternity leave end in July and I'm dreading going back to work and leaving him 🙁

Answer

We are doing incredible!! My baby is an absolute joy and so incredibly happy. She is a fantastic sleeper and always has been! We are still getting mommies milk in a bottle (I pumped and froze a TON) We've had some rough times too with an asthma diagnosis and egg allergy diagnosis. There also is a measles epidemic in Minnesota and we are terrified of her contracting it. Daycare took some time for me to adjust too it but once I saw that she is just thriving there and she loves her teachers so much it made dropping her off so much easier. She loves her food and crawls like crazy. She's loves baby swimming lessons and her puppy. We have done zoos and aquariums and children's museums. I absolutely love being a mom and my husband is the epitome of a perfect father. I get emotional just thinking about how lucky I am for his life! OH and we are expecting #2 in January 2018!!!!

Answer

We're doing great! The first month or so was a struggle, getting into the swing of things but this little girl is the happiest little bundle of joy! I love being her mommy. Even if she has mastered rolling around the room and the army crawl and is going to give me a heart attack haha 😂

Answer

Still exhausted but sad just the few days that there will be no more babies for me. Husband had a vasectomy at the end of Feb. at least I got baby #3!
