nervous!
This is my second pregnancy, my son is 18 months so it wasn't long ago that I did all this but I have my first appointment tomorrow with my OB and I am so nervous! We're thinking I'm only around 7 weeks (two hpts and blood draw to confirm) but it hasn't felt real to me yet. I guess tomorrow when they tell me there's for…

Back at it
Hey ladies! For those of you who are my friends, you know that I haven't been around mfp much much less logging and working out like I should. I met a scale goal a few months back and since I'd been logging for 2 years I took a break then got lazy and our summer got crazy so i just put it off. I've also recently discovered…

What method did you use?
My son is almost 6 months and has been sleeping in his swing since before he was 2 months old because he hated the bassinet. I know we have let it go on too long but he sleeps amazing it in so we thought "why not?" Till now...I'm sure he's at least 18 lbs and his swings only have a 25 lb weight limit and I know he still…

4 month wakeful
As some of you know, Jaxon was a terrific sleeper sleeping 8-11 hour stretches by around the 2 month mark..well he's about 4 1/2 months now and for probably the last 3 weeks he's been waking up 2-3 times a night or every 3-6 hours. I thought at first he wasn't staying as satisfied since he's getting bigger and that may be…

Teething
Jax is not quite 2 1/2 months now but lately he's been drooling and gumming his hands. I've felt around on his gums and on the top there's a hard spot but no white is showing. I know it's early but could these be signs of teething?

"The Snotsucker"
We have the aspirator that was given to us at the hospital and since we've bought a couple but they don't even come close to being as good as the one we got when Jax was born. But since Jaxon HATES the bulb aspiratior and we need a new one anyway because they get so nasty even if you wash them (a friend of a friend cut…

Diapers
We've been discussing diapers lately so I thought I'd share.. Since I'm such an Amazon junkie I signed up for Amazon Prime and am now getting a case of Luvs diapers (size 2, 228ct) delivered to my house once a month for $26.99. It's a whopping $9 cheaper than Babies R Us for the same size, same count. Amazon Prime is free…

Nicknames
So....I know it's going to be quite awhile for some of our LO's to start talking BUT I'm wondering if any of you have or have thought about what to call your kiddos "parts" so to speak, lol. I definitely want my little man to recognize the proper name for his penis but it feels too proper, if you know what I mean so I…
