Sheri, how was your day at work?

Hey Lynn!! Can't wait for you to join us!!! :happy: I took nursing gowns to the hospital with me...I thought it was easier than pants because of all of the checks *down there* you will be having after delivery. It was easy to just pull the gown up and not have to get up and take the pants off, etc. I did take…

LOL I know the feeling! The only thing I can keep straight these days are feedings and diapers!!! :laugh: Small victory - Annabelle was down in bed at 9 pm tonight!!! Earliest this far!!! Wonder what time she will wake up though...

Me too! :wink: Bethe - Wasn't Wade born a week before Annabelle? So wouldn't yesterday be 5 weeks?...because Annabelle was one month (4 weeks, 2 days) yesterday. I know what you mean about them growing so fast!! She was 21 inches when she was born too...22 at 2 weeks, idk what she is now. My LO won't be little for long!…

Annabelle weighed 8 lbs 5 oz when she was born and was in newborn clothes for about a week and a half...We didn't have very many of them (we thought they'd be too small anyway) so for that week and a half she wore the same things over and over, but I"m glad because she would not have been able to wear anything more than…

You're sick, right...?? Call in sick... LOL j/k :laugh: I hope you feel better...that would make the day even crummier for me!

Oh no! I hope you all start to feel better!! I know it will stink to have to leave everyone and be sick!! Will be praying for you all! :flowerforyou:

Jamie - I'm sorry you're having such a rough time! You're definitely a better woman than I am! I agree with what others have said - do whatever you can in order to make just a little bit of time for yourself. A happy mommy makes happy babies! :smile: I salute you for doing everything you can for your girls! You're doing…

So glad he's growing well!! Annabelle was born at 8lbs 5 oz, then at 2 weeks was 9 lbs 13 oz! We don't go back until 2 months...but I'm going to weigh her on Saturday (1 month) to see what our scale says :smile: Do you nurse him and then put him down? We try to do this and nurse her around 9-9:30 and tyr to put her down…

There's a group for women who have recently given birth, losing weight, breastfeeding, etc if you want to join! It's a great place to ask these kind of questions...that's what I do! :smile: Search for the group "Postnatal - May 2011"

Annabelle seems to be eating a lot today, too! I don't plan on trying to work the system, hehe...I just meant I didn't want to call today and have her release me now, which means I'd need to go back to work next week. I will go to my appointment on the 20th (next Friday), then if she releases me then that's fine.…

Katrina - My mom will watch her (she's out of town but will still come to stay with her), and I could possibly take her with me, but I doubt i could get anything done. I suppose since I have to go I might as well work when I'm there...I really need to pack up my room. I could have my mom go with me to work, lol so that she…

<A little frustrated today!:explode: Nothing to do with baby..she's wonderful, as usual :smile: I talked to the superintendent of the school I work for and in order to be paid for 2 of the snow days we had earlier in the year I have to get cleared to go back to work early and work for two days (I'm a teacher, and I have to…

LOL I know the feeling, it seems like she knows exactly when I'm going to eat and decides to wake up crying... We have bassinet in our room by my side of the bed but she's growing so much and getting so long I think we'll have to upgrade to the pack n' play until I'm ready to move her to her room (definitely not yet! I…

Annabelle loves her bath and lotion time! HAHA. I've just been moving her around a lot today, and i think she is so worn out lol. I think it will just take time and she'll get more use to it. She has been up a lot more today than usual anyway, so it's a start! Thanks for the advice! I took her outside and tried to go for a…

Sheri - what are ways to keep her up? All she wants to do is sleep! I try carrying her around and she just falls asleep, I put her on play mat and she sleeps...lol I'm sure It's a process though, she's not just going to do it on the first day probably. Thanks! Man, 8 oclock would be nice to have some me and hubby time at…

I'm interested to hear what your bedtime routines are (if any at this point...lol) We try to put Annabelle down around 10 or so but she never goes to sleep until 12:30 or so...and is usually fussy the whole time in between there... She is sleeping most of the day, so I'm trying to keep her up more today to see if that…

Thanks for the info ladies! Hopefully it just has to do with feeding. I'll keep an eye on it. I've heard that even if I'm sick, or feel like I'm getting sick, to continue BFing... right? Annabelle loves sleeping on her tummy on us, but I'm afraid to let her sleep on her tummy in her bassinet... We have the angelcare…

Thanks Amanda and Sheri! I'll keep an eye on it. Sheri, if you hear anything form Annabelle please let us know :smile: Also, some of you have said that you like to wear your baby. I would love to, but Annabelle seems to hate being put in the sling I have from sevenslings.com. It's like she feels too tight. I have two…

Thanks, Ron and AnneElise...I'm a proud mama lol Ugh That stinks AnneElise!!! I know that feeling all too well! Hope everything works out smoothly (as smoothly as it can having to spend $800 for it... :flowerforyou: )

Hey Amanda! I've been thinking about you! Glad you, DH, and Ethan are doing well!! I still haven't started back exercising yet. When I went out shopping the other day I found that my body is still really tired. I know it will take some getting use to but when I'm up on my feet too much my back and legs start hurting. You…

Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful mothers!!!!!!!:flowerforyou: Welcome, everyone!!

I only read through the last few posts, so I'm sorry I'm not commenting on everyone ... you'll understand when your LOs come... :laugh: I sure do miss you all, though!:smile: Annabelle - so happy you were finally able to close on the farm! One less thing to worry about!!! Danielle - Congrats on your little man! So…

I would TOTALLY count that as exercising!!!! PLUS the extra calories nursing! :laugh:

Hey ladies, just popping in for a second...it's been a busy week! Took Annabelle out for the first time on Wednesday - boy was that something! lol I nursed her in the car when we got there (lol) and then did some shopping. My mom was with me...no way I'm going out by myself yet! We only went to 2 stores but it took like 4…

Welcome, kait!! We will all help each other!

I agree with Sheri, the 30 day shred does have a lot of jumping around, so Id save that for later. But once you can it is a great workout! Same here, my first goal is to get to my pre-pregnancy weight, which is about 12-13 pounds away. Don't know if that's possible during May without exercising a lot, but I'll try! I'm…

Bump for later - today's my first day home alone with Annabelle...DH went back to work today, so my hands are full! :smile:

Happy One Month Brooklynn!!!!!!! :flowerforyou: :heart: :flowerforyou:

Oh, and Sheri, I :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: Zumba!!!!!! Can't wait to start that back!!! We have a PlayStation3, so I really want it for that. It's so much fun! I think it helps that I laugh at myself hysterically the entire time doing the moves...pretty much knowing I look like an idiot!:laugh: DH did it with me one…
