Happy Friday to everyone! Susan-sorry to hear about your early morning! I had one of those as well. Reese was up a couple times and then when she woke at 4:30, I had the worst time getting her to sleep. She's so fidgety with me, so I gave her to DH at 6. She settled right down. She either...

melanie-forgot to answer your question about Reese's weight. I'm not sure what she is now, but she was back to her birth weight of almost 8lbs 3 weeks ago. She's out growing some of her newborn clothes, so all I know is that she's getting bigger :) jen-glad my little boobies could help...

You guys absoultely crack me up and are such a bright spot to my day! Melanie and Christine-I'm sure your bodies will thank you for being 'good girls'. You guys push yourselves so hard! about those post-baby boobie woes: try walking in my bra (ok, bra really doesn't work in place of...

Melanie-sounds like you had a great conversation with your LC. That's such good news that you are still producing enough milk for them. Hopefully, those tips she gave will work. I wish so much I could get Reese to take the pacifier. She does the bottle fine, but when I give her a pacifier (and...

man there is a lot of lovin' going on in your homes ! Some day I'll get in bed for more than sleep, but the thought scares the heck out of me...I had a wicked episiotomy AND the thought of getting preggo again nearly sends me into a panic attack. I think I'll be waiting until far after my 6wk...

Susan-that's a great site. I used it a lot with Caden. Jen-Juice at 4mo??? For what purpose? Caden didn't get watered down juice until a couple months ago, but I'm a little weird about juice. Is it a MIL thing to want to give their grandbabies things they don't need? My MIL let caden have...

Good morning everyone! Susan-that potato recipe looks delic! Melanie-thanks so much for those Good Start coupons! I know I will use them all. I could have sworn that formula was cheaper than Enfamil when I bought it with Caden, but now it's the same price. Grr! Maybe it's because Gerber...

Christine-Nice job on the weight! That must have been a great way to start the day! thanks for your suggestions on Caden's cough. I somehow completely forgot about Vicks. I've heard it mysteriously works in helping a cough by putting it on feet...haven't tried it though! Priscila-glad you...

Susan-mm..yum. I love protein pancakes...too bad for me they contain egg whites! Since I can't have eggs for breakfast, I'm now having oatmeal cooked with cottage cheese, so I'm still getting protein with the bonus of more dairy. Sorry to hear Kara had a rough night. It didn't go so well here...

Has anyone read Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Child? I'm trying to follow the guideline of putting Reese down every 1-2 hrs, but I feel like all I do is try to get her to nap all day! She doesn't go down very easily and nearly always needs to be bounced or nursed to sleep (she's a bit better at...

Jen-No, I don't think you are being selfish, as your mom gets to spend a lot of time with James, and you shouldn't feel like you should always have to say yes. Your mom shouldn't EXPECT that she get to make up the lost time from the weekend. That being said, however, I don't know what your mom...

Good Morning! Susan-thanks for that kegal reminder. I never remember to do them until I read it here :) Melanie-Nice job on the continued weight loss. Come on down and whip me in shape. Ha! I checked out your baby shower pics. Your girls are precious Jen-I also do my push ups with...

Mine lasted through the first trimester with both of my pregnancies. It was an all day sickness that made me want to eat constantly---starchy foods and things I generally never touch such as Taco Bell. I never vomited, though many times I wish I could have!

Good morning, Moms that Rock! :) Sounds like Kara rocked with sleep last night..glad you are feeling refreshed today! Reese had a great night, too. Slept 10-4, 5-6, and we'll see what happens when I'm done feeding her. All of her sleep was in her crib last night..yippee for these rays of...

christine-glad you and DH talked things over. That's great your MIL is coming to help out. I commend you and all SAHMs! On days I have both of the kids, I long to go back to work. I find it far more stressful than being at my job. I don't think I could do it...at least not during the baby's...

wow, let's see if I can remember everythingI want to say...if I evr hqada free hand, I'd be taking notes while reading! Susan- yes, I have rheumatoid arthritis. I was diagnosed 3 years ago. It warmed my heart to read about you and DH. Chrirtina- I agree with the idea of creating the nap...

Thanks for your food suggestions. I actually have some cottage cheese in my refrigerator. The only way I have been able to eat it though is cooked with my oatmeal. today I REALLY slipped up with my food. I stopped by work , and was momentarily weak when offered a piece of cake made by a great...

Priscila-I hope I found the right Priscila. Let me know if you didn't get my friend request. As for Reese's sleep, I know last night was a fluke, and I'm not expecting it for a very long time. eta...jen, i just checked out that thread. wow. yes, i will stay right here, too

Ooops...just to clarify: when I said that I needed more videos, I wasn't implying that you guys needed to hook me up. Just that I want to expand my collection. Susan-10hrs is awesome! I love soups, too. I have a more difficult time getting DH to love them though. If they don't have meat in...

amazing but true--actually 2 things! 1) I'm typing on a COMPUTER with TWO hands--not a phone with one hand! 2) Reese slept 7 hours without needing to eat! She ate at 8, slept with DH from 9-1. Then he put her in her crib at 1pm. She didn't wake up! She woke at 3 to eat. By 4:30, I was getting...
