Best part of your week? We started giving her Zantac to help her reflux and it's night and day. She is just the most content and alert baby now. I'm so happy that she's feeling better
Worst part of your week? She hates taking the Zantac (it tastes awful). She cries and spits it out. I feel so mean
Milestones? She's having more and more smiles... I'm not sure if they're purposeful yet, but I love seeing them regardless
PIP those kiddos!

Here are my little peanut and my little chunker! Almost 3 months old, but only 3 weeks adjusted age (i.e. Developmentally they are closer to their adjusted age due to prematurity). Worst part of the week was going back to work. Best part was hearing their new cooing noises and DD smiling at me.
@LittleLady77, thanks! I have been busy so I haven't been posting much. @MRads, thank you! If totally sucks going to work, but what can you do. I am just afraid that they will prefer other people over me now that I'm not around as much.

Sorry this is late - wanted to update after my appointment but didn't get to a computer last night.
For Mommies-to-be:
How many weeks are you? 6 weeks, 6 days (per u/s)
When is your EDD? New due date is September 24
How are you feeling? I'm either between tired and hungry.
What are you craving? Pretty much anything that I see that looks or smells great.
What is grossing you out? I had onion rings last night and when i woke up this morning I swear I could still smell them. Now I'm not sure if I ever want to eat them again.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? I had my u/s yesterday. Baby looks great. I was measuring 8 days later than my LMP. Bean was measuring 6 weeks, 5 days with a heartbeat of 120 BPM. I still have a blood sac the same size as last week, but still no cause of concern. The tech thinks its implantation blood that has decided to stay put. I have a endocrinologist appointment this afternoon then a regular OB appointment March 10.
Have you / will you found out the sex? We will.
Any names picked out? H actually picked out a boys name I liked. Not sure if I Love it yet, but it's definitely on the list - actually, it's the only boys name on the list.
Eliana if its a girl (MN is Marie but I'm starting to like Grace as a MN), and Tristan Ryse (like Reese) for a boy.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? No nursery until bean is born.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP?

Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): 4 years old.
Best part of your week? Lexi has gotten an interest in boxing/kickboxing. We actually bought her a robot boxing bag and 4 oz gloves from Toys R Us for her to play around with. She was really going at it last night.
Worst part of your week? She was fighting her bedtime the last few nights. She also has a habit of grabbing snacks from the cabinet before lunch/dinner time so she's not eating a full meal.
Milestones? I had a parent teachers conference this morning to see how she's doing in school. She's doing absolutely amazing, reaching most of her milestones for her age, and is even excelling in some areas. Her teacher says she's very talkative and her language skills are amazing. She even said that I'm raising her right - makes me feel good as a parent knowing that she's doing well.

They won't. I promise. My H is Bs favorite person. If my husband sees B awake at all M-F it unusual. And Im selfish with my time with B on the weekends, so they don't have all that much time together. But his face lights up more when he sees H than anybody else. And he hugs my H tighter and snuggles in closer than he does with me, unless he is really hungry. It isn't easy to go back to work, but I think it is harder on us than it is on our babies.
