Hi Pippi, I gained about 30 lbs and lost alot in the beginning as well. However, since that time, nothing and several of my pants/shorts still don't fit which is very frustrating. I'm trying not to obsess about it yet, but I would love to lose about 5-10 lbs. I eat healthily and don't want to cut back too much b/c of breastfeeding. Also, I have zero time to exercise with 3 kids and started work pa...

Thanks Ladies! You would think this is my 1st baby the way I'm flailing about with the sleeping part. All 3 have been totally different though! Anyway, I pretty much have made the mistake of getting her to sleep in my arms. I looked up some information on the baby whisperer technique and tried it today with varying success. At least she fell asleep in her crib today with me right there rather than...

Anyone else having trouble with naps for their little ones? I can get her to go to sleep fairly easily, but she won't stay asleep outside of my arms....maybe 30 minutes tops. Sometimes, she wakes up when I put her down after only 10 minutes. Any tips? Hope you are all doing well!

Great question....my GD is completely gone. Like all of you, I am so extremely happy to have a girl. I say all of the time that I am the luckiest mommy in the world to have two sweet boys and a sweet baby girl. I knew I was having a girl, but couldn't believe it until she came. I kept thinking something would happen to prevent me from having my dream come true. I feel so blessed.

How do you know 3.0 oz from both? Are you pumping? If so, the pump is not as efficient as your baby is so don't go by that. You can do a feed a weigh if you are unsure how much your baby is doing. Contact a lactation consultant or la leche league. My hospital has lactation consultants that will do a feed and weigh. Good luck!

Hello everyone! It has been a while and I know we are all busy! We are all doing very well. Like you all, the boys are so in love with their sister and always giving her kisses and hugs. I really wonder if they would be this enthralled if it had been another boy. At any rate, it's very nice that they love her so much. We are all totally in love and feel so blessed to have a girl. She's a very swee...

I think my little one has colic! At first, I thought it was just a gassy period at night, but it seems to be following a colic pattern. Does anyone else have experience with this? It's so exhausting! She wants to go to sleep, but can't seem to settle. It happens from about 7 pm to 11 pm. It's not non-stop screaming like I have heard from some. She may even fall asleep for a bit, but then, 10 minut...

I don't have any tips, but wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you. I think that some babies just naturally fall into a pattern earlier than others. My 2nd son fell into such a great sleeping pattern early on, so this one is throwing me for a serious loop. I'm very sleep deprived too at the moment and it definitely does not help when you have other children as well to tend to. I have read the b...

Congratulations to all mommies! The monkeys have been so bad that I have not been able to respond to everyone's post, but am so happy for everyone!
I also feel so lucky and blessed to have my little girl finally!
You are sooooo lucky to have such a good sleeper! Currently, my little one has trouble going to sleep at night. We can usually get her down by 11 pm after a pretty long fussy peri...

She's beautiful! My husband and I say that looking at a baby is like looking at a campfire. You just can't take your eyes off! Congratulations!

Hi everyone! So nice to see so many arrivals! Well, the fear of induction was no need to worry. She came on her own on Friday, March 18th at 12:46 weighing 7 lbs 2 oz. She is perfect! My delivery was short and I was able to deliver naturally. My two boys are absolutely smitten with her and love to give her kisses. Here's a photo!

Ok, so I'm officially overdue. I was due yesterday and nothing happened. I had a Dr. appointment anyway and they checked for progression. Absolutely nothing has changed since the last appointment. In fact, this Dr. said I was only 25% effaced, whereas the previous Dr. said I was 70-80% effaced! I am dilated 2-3 cm. She asked I wanted to be induced and I declined. They did the fetal biophysical tes...

Sounds promising whiteicequeen!
I am officially due today - and nothing is happening! Both of my boys were born on their exact due dates, so this is really odd for me! I really didn't want to be late! I have a Dr. appointment this afternoon. Maybe something will happen later today, but I won't hold my breath.

Thinking our baby girl's initials will be OOS. Since we are set on the middle name and it begins with a vowel, words can be made easily. OOS is not necessarily a word, but do you think it's okay??

Hang in there alynn6758!!
I had a Dr. appointment yesterday (39 weeks) and they checked for progression - I am 2-3 cm dilated and 70-80% effaced so things are happening!! I feel like a ticking time bomb! I would love to have her hold out through the weekend so I can prepare for the week for my boys - the typical grocery shopping, etc., but who knows!! Otherwise, I am completely ready to end the ...

Yes, this is my fear also! I feel a little less "tickly" in my chest today. I really hope it goes away!
