How are you feeling?
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics?
Not really much to say. I'm loving my new king sized bed. It's super tall so I did look like a fat short legged dog trying to get on furniture the first time I tried to climb in bed.
I have an appointment today, last appointment I was still closed so we'll see if there is any progress. I really don't want to be medically induced, so I'm thinking about starting acupuncture next week or at week 40. I think it takes a couple of sessions to induce, so I think it's safe to start whenever.
I'll leave you with a picture of my sister and me. We were sitting at one of our niece's birthday parties and having a "play date." She will be 23 weeks tomorrow. We plan to take an official picture together tonight where we are both standing.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 6 months, 1 week
How do you feel? Great! We finally had a good night of sleep last night. He was only up once and settled back quickly after nursing. He had been up 3-4 times a night all week before last night...
Any Milestones this week? He is almost crawling, he can scoot backward but not forward yet.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I caught him mid-gag while eating a banana last week
I did call, I think they said they start at 4 appointments (my memory is a little foggy from that time).

How do you feel? I'm kinda blue. I officially got my ppd diagnosis yesterday and then had a huge fight with my mom. But other than that, chugging along.
Any Milestones this week? We started cereal last week and it's going well. You can't get it into his face fast enough!

@islandmonkey8 - thinking of you! I hope the headaches go away.
@snuff9861 - hugs. You are already strong for pushing to seeing a doctor. I hope it helps you.
Mommies:

How do you feel? Pretty good!
Any Milestones this week? She starting to grab at things, including H's beard. And she "talks" Whenever I'm on the phone.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? Yes, we already saw Santa... No line! We seriously walked right to the front. And she was in a good mood!
How many weeks: 16w1d
How are you feeling? Much better today. I guess I totally over did it on Sunday with cleaning, laundry, and organizing because I was in serious pain at the end of the day. I'm not sure if it's sciatica pain, but it's where my back meets my butt and it's super intense pain. I used to get it a lot when I had a larger chest, but it was never this bad. It's much better today, but yesterday and Sunday night were rough.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I posted this on fb last night, so some may have already seen it. Sorry it's so big. I'm too lazy to resize it.
Cycle/Month: 13/17, 2AL
CD/DPO: 25/12 or 13
W2O or 2WW? 2ww
Testing plans: tested this morning since my insurance form is due and which one we pick is heavily weighted on IF coverage now.
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: nope. On to the next. I didn't think this would be our cycle. I'm just looking forward to time with family soon and the dr appointment when we get back. I hope we get some answers and a plan!!
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 3 months
How do you feel? Overwhelmed. Going back to work is not easy. I am trying to reorganize my classroom and teach and get my class under control all at the same time. Pumping is stressful. I'm not really given time, I'm taking my prep time. I need to call my union to find out about that. My supply has taken a dip. Someone at work told me it's just my body adjusting to the transition, but I"m started to get nervous.
Any Milestones this week? She is rolling onto her side.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I wish I were rich.
@sjs1013 - I was wondering if you got time to pump being a teacher. I have a few teacher friends who couldn't keep up. If you're covered by fmla they really need to find you time. I had to fight my work to give me a space when I go back that was not a bathroom and not in the condemn area of the building for mold. How about I make you a sandwich in the mold area and make you eat it!
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 4 months 4 days
How do you feel? Pretty good. He's sleeping through the night most nights or at least only getting up once.
Any Milestones this week? He's been rolling over more and more.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? He had his 4 month check yesterday and he gained 3 lbs on the last month since starting the formula. He's now at 50th percentile for height and finally back on the charts for weight! We unfortunately had to stop breastfeeding because my supply dropped terribly and he started to get extremely gassy on the pumped breastmilk bottles.
My BIL called him Chalupa in front of my niece, her response was "It's Chalupa batman!!!" She said it in a you're an idiot tone. It was funny.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 7 weeks yesterday
How do you feel? Still tired. We had to go to urgent care last night because H noticed that Wren had a hair or something wrapped around a couple of her toes. It was pretty tight & the one Dr seemed to think it had been there for at least a day. I feel terrible that I didn't notice it before last night. Her one toe still looks very swollen and has a pretty deep crease in it. We're going back to urgent care tonight for the Dr to check on it. Prayers and good thoughts for my baby girl would be welcomed and appreciated.
Any Milestones this week? She's holding her head up much better during tummy time. She's still "talking" up a storm & is so happy/smiley for most of the day.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? The first pic is from Tummy Time yesterday morning. And the second pic is her smiling/laughing at the birdie toy on her play mat
@mana8503 I do get pumping time. I thought it was in addition to my prep time. My principal has not talked to me about it, I've just been using my prep time. It will be a problem on Friday because my prep is too early to pump. It will also be a problem if my prep is cancelled, so she needs to have a plan just in case. Tomorrow I'm going to call my union to clarify my rights.
On the plus side, my supply seems to be recovering. All of my pumping sessions at work were about the same as the pumping at home at that time.
