Hi all you mommies, I think I mentioned it already but Ashley now weighs 9.85 pounds, 22 inches long. Much bigger than sis was at that age. Alexis is still thrilled with her sister but forgets how delicate she is. For example, she pushes and pushes the baby swing. I still have about 3 pounds...

With both my pregnancies, I was exhausted at first . I had sore boobs with both but my stomache felt great with dd#1 and with dd#2 around 8 weeks light morning sickness kicked in. I was told by people that I was probably having a boy since I felt different but of course that is a wives tale...

Morris, I try not to nurse in a public place because of being exposed. I have been using bottles of either breastmilk or formula when out. Hope you didn't take offense to my question, I just meant your workouts are great, as is. My hubby will be watching the kids while I work. I am starting...

Morris, you wish you could do more workouts? How much more could you do? I am finding the formula does calm her when nursing doesn't at times. Back to prepregnancy weight.Wow! Curly, I can't believe how well your millipop is sleeping. Mary, are you back to work? I have 2 clients scheduled...

Christi, welcome. I also have 2 girls. Mary, I can't believe the doc already started your little(or not so little) man on cereal. Morris, your workouts remain incredible. Curly, how are you doing? Mel, hope things are doing better and all the prayers helped. Hi to all you other mommies...

Melanie, I am sending prayers your way and a cyberhug for you!

Curly, glad you have joined us,here on the other side. Sleeping 4 hours at a time,WOW!!

Melanie, don't leave us! Morris, how do you have the energy to workout at 4:30 am? After Ashley's 5:30 feeding I go back to sleep. She is sleeping a little better. Lately she is fussy from about 6-10:00 and eats quite a bit during this time period. She sleeps til about 1:30 then awakes again at...

Congrats! I am so glad that everything turned out so well.

I am 8 weeks postparum with my second. I have about 5 pounds to lose and my once flat belly now looks like a mommy tummy. I did find though once I weaned my first daughter at 9 months post partum, I quickly lost the remainder of the weight, plus some.

Hi, just wanted to add that Ashley grunts and snorts all night. We say she sounds like a pug at night. We have dogsit a pug and know how they snore! Mary, 11 ounces! I am lucky if 8 pound, a few ounces Ashley drinks 2 ounces.

Rachel, according to a booklet I have: estimate your calorie needs by multiplying current weight by 15 and adding 500 calories. If you are active, adjust numbers accordingly. On this diet you should expect to lose a pound every 2-3 weeks. the min. amount of calories for a nursing mom is 1800 a...

Hi to all you mommies, Mel, wow, you are still thinking of having #4. 2 kids is plenty for me. Kristi, how's the weight loss going? You have been doing great. Morris, i am still amazed at your running so early. In terms of giving a bottle, I wouldn't worry about missing a feeding at night...

Rachel, at 2 weeks postpartum I started back with walks and easy tapes. I gradually increased workouts from weeks 2-6 and waited for my 6 week check up to resume high impact. Kristi, your workouts do look intense! A run with 2 kids, how tiring! I have cranked up my workouts to help lose those...

Hi everyone, Congrats Linda ! Morris, are you really already running? Mary, glad you can resume your workouts. Mel, I started a toddlers check in that is getting lost. Hi to all you other sleep deprived mommies. Ashey weighed in at 8 pounds 3 ounces as of last week. I am about 4-5 pounds...

Linda, congrats! No wonder you are sore with 16 hours of labor and 2 hours of pushing! You deserve to take it easy! Hope you join us on the postpartum check in. Congrats on no stretch marks. I was glad too that even with #2 I never got them. 25 pound weight gain is great, it will naturally come off.

My first wouldn't take a pacifier. I opted not to offer this baby one. Most people I know introduce a pacifer early, even newborn age. Recent sudies even show pacifiers even slightly reduce the risk of SIDS. I have opted not to use a pacifier, not because of medical reasons but the problems I...

Morris, it was recommended to me to wait 2 weeks before starting a bottle. I sometimes pump or give Ashley formula. She actually loves her bottles. I introduced the bottle too late with dd#1 and she refused to drink from a bottle. Glad the blood pressure is coming down. Mary, keep us posted on...

Mary, sleep, what is that? Ashley is nursing every 2-3 hours at night as well but does nurse quickly and goes back into her bassinet at night. Her older sister was a nightmare at this age, nursing for an hour then staying up an hour or 2 at night. I have been working out when oldest naps, so no...

I miswote the title, the book I am recommending is the same as the one Kate recommends! Great minds think alike.
