March/April/May 2010 moms (or any other new moms)

How is everyone doing? Lets see those babies

we are doing pretty good. DD is going down at night around 930 and sleeping anywhere between 5 and 6 1/2 hours. She is drinking about 4oz every 3 hours, but has been an eating machine yesterday and today. She wants to eat often and then doesn't finish the whole bottle. She also has a mild case of reflux. which isn't so bad for her, but the amount of laundry i do is crazy!

We had her 1 month check up on the 11th and she was up 2lbs. From 8lbs 8oz at birth to now 10lbs10oz and she grew over an inch and is now 21 3/4"

I'm feeling good finally. it took a lot longer than it did with DS, but maybe because DD shot right out of me like a rocket

Hanging in there. Actually, DS has really changed so much over the last month and now is so much fun...so happy and constantly smiling. It makes things a lot easier now that he will sit in his rocker or on the lounger for longer periods and actually be content to just look around.

He goes down to bed by 8:30 and wakes arounf 3:30/4 for a bottle and then down again until about 8am..sometimes later. I thought it was pretty good but then I looked at pictures from Mother's Day...wow do my eyes look bad!

DS is drinking 4.5 - 5 oz at each feeding...6 feedings per day and has definitely put on more weight. I moved him into size 2 diapers this week because he has explosive ones...just like his brother did.

Go for the 2 month appt on the 22nd...I am guessing about 12 pounds

DD is 3 weeks old today!

She doesn't really have a schedule yet. She's eating about 3-4 oz (usually 3 oz) about every 3 hours, sometimes 4. She's not back up to her birth weight yet, but the ped wasn't concerned (yet). She gets up around 2x per night usually around 1-2am and then again around 4-5am. Luckily, I have been able to quickly fall asleep so it hasn't been that bad with the exception of a couple days.

Picture from this morning!

Charlotte is a little older - she was born on 2/22. She is such a good baby and a joy to be around. I think she has seasonal allergies - she has been sneezing a ton and coughing now too, but besides that she is acting fine. She has been sleeping through the night for a while, but the last few fays she woke up to eat at 3am and has been eating alot during the day so I'm thinking growth spurt right now. Here's a pic of my little blondie at her first Met's game last week

She looks bald but her hair is super blonde. Its REALLy fuzzy up close!

Doing good!! Adam went for his 2 month checkup today and is up to 11lbs 8oz. Poor little guy got his first set of shots today, he is not a happy camper!!! He is sleeping well, gets up for a feeding around 4-5am. He eats anywhere between 2.5-4oz of pumped breastmilk every 2 hours or so. He's very smiley and is starting to coo a lot. He's such a happy little boy, I love him so much!!!

hi ladies!

my boys are 3 weeks old today!
they are definitely a handful, still trying to get down my routine.
the nights are the hardest.
when one is sleeping the other is up..

Dylan seems to be a bit gassy, so the mylicon seems to be helping.
