    Post partum check-in 3.23

    I am so happy to hear that, Steph. She really has gained. Actually, she has gained as much as Tamal since birth, and he's a little chubbs!

    Post partum check-in 3.23

    Hi everyone. Work is really kicking my butt. I'm so wiggy woggy for lack of sleep that I opened an envelope of oat meal this morning and poured it into the trash instead of my bowl, and I dialed my husband's number and forgot I was making a phone call. Egads. I have two classes to teach...

    Teething question

    Yes, it's pretty bad really. He just popped two teeth and it looks like a third might be on the way. The trusty Tylenol has now failed to work a few times at night, so I'm not sure what to do. I've begun to wonder if maybe its gas that's causing the restlessness at night. He just moves...

    Teething question

    Thanks everyone. His two front teeth have popped through. He's had rough nights for about 2 weeks! The little guy doesn't take to teething well. Even the Tylenol lasted for only 2 hours on a couple of occasions. The Motrin didn't even seem to work. But yes, at night, the only thing that...

    Teething question

    Experienced Moms, What has worked for you? I tried everything and finally resorted to Tylenol. My little one does not take well to teething. He has his two front teeth (bottom at 4 months). Tylenol is the only thing that works so far in terms of relief, but seriously I don't want to keep...

    Don't worry about size, Steph. Boys grow a lot faster than girls in the early months. Manmohini

    Post-Partum Check-In, 3.18

    Hey Arancini, Tamal just had his 4-month yesterday too (actually, he turns 4 months tomorrow). He's a real chubbs now--26 inches long and 16 pounds hefty. My husband called him a "little fatty" the other day, and I told him to hush his mouth. Sounds like Nico has been packing on the pounds...

    Post partum Check in 3.9.08

    Hi Steph, Arancini, Fitnurse (and of course, Sienna, Nico, and LJ) Glad to hear the cohort is doing well, and you ladies are fabulous exercisers. I was lucky in that I dropped to pre-pregnancy weight in almost three weeks, but I was there by six. I haven't been exercising much though, and...

    Post Partum checki-in 3.2.08

    RE: Post Partum check-in 3.2.08 Thanks, Steph. Yes, I agree. Tamal is very much a people person. He loves every face he sees, and he smiles at everyone, so I think it's good he gets exposed to many people. It hasn't helped that we've been so cooped up. One of my objectives is to get him...

    Post Partum checki-in 3.2.08

    RE: Post Partum check-in 3.2.08 Hi Ladies, I don't have much time before Tamal wakes up and raises a tumult. I can't believe he is actually taking a nap lying down in the bed. Lately, he cries every time I put him down and he wants to sleep upright on my body. A few times in the afternoon...

    Post Partum Check-In 2/26

    Wow, Nico sounds like the most mellow baby ever. Fitnurse, my Tamal is like your LJ--loves to be picked up, fusses after about 10 minutes in his Boppy while I'm trying to take a shower. I marvel too that anyone can just a baby down and have him or her fall asleep. Tamal fights sleep as well...

    Nannies

    I'm not sure about nannies, but there is a great chapter in Dr. Sear's "Baby Book" that educates readers about how to go about setting up the best care. He gives some wonderful interview questions that you'll want to ask anyone who watches your child. Manmohini

    It's a girl!

    Congratulations. Enjoy being pregnant with your little girl. Be sure to talk to her all the time and thank her for coming and tell her how happy you and your husband are that she is coming! I'm so happy for you. Manmohini

    Infant sleep/nap schedule?

    Up to this point, I have eschewed feeding and sleeping schedules for my 3-month old. While I will continue to feed him on cue, I'm beginning to wonder how much sleep he should be getting each day and if there is a more ideal way to shape his day. I find that he gets overtired and cranky a lot...

    Infant restlessness

    Sorry I haven't written sooner. I cannot believe how tremendously difficult it is to do even the simplest things these days. Most important, Steph, how is Sienna doing? I'm still praying for her to spring into robust health. As I said, I'm sure the warmer weather will help us all. You have...

    Infant restlessness

    Thanks everyone. Yes, I think I need to consider teething as the culprit. He has been drooling a lot lately and sucking and chewing on whatever comes in range of his hands. I probed his gums with my fingers for signs of teeth, but none have poked through yet. And I had hoped to get a break...

    Who has been induced?

    Hello. I was induced on the third day of labor. My water had broken on day two and I was not progressing. I ended up having a c-section the third night. In retrospect, I feel that the pitocin was administered much too late in my case, after labor exhaustion set in. Since then I have read...

    Infant restlessness

    My 3 month old is a great eater who wakes up every three hours in the night to dine at the breastaraunt. After he is done feeding in 5 or 8 minutes, he conks out solidly until the next feeding. At least he did so for the first three months anyhow. This past week, he has been so restless...

    Foreclosure

    Ladies, I would appreciate informed opinions. When does one just throw in the towel and opt for foreclosure on a property that won't move? Details: I have had my home on the market for 2 years in a town I no longer live in, a town which is an hour away from where my husband and I both...
