hobber-I don't remember either he is only on his tummy for like 1or 2 min before he start crying because he don't like to be like that at all. And so on his back no way he try to turn on the tummy lol.
Flava, he is SO cute! I love his little smile! WHat's his name? (or do you not feel comfortable sharing?)
I think sometimes when they get angry on their tummy, they get more motivated to turn over.
Not me...I wasn't here when i was pregnant and now that Im back everyone else is gone :-(Quote:

Thanks hobber! That was the first day we finally got a smile on pic. No clue why is so shiny my pic is not like that:confused:
His name is Benjamin i guess just no1 asked before or did I posted yet? Don't remember.
Flava your little man is so cute!
Hobber- I had someone come to the house to take his pics and some family ones
Flava, Benjamin is sooo cute! Love his smile!! Dlouli, love the bigger pic of West!
I think Lillian definitely resembles DS1, and I love it...they have the same lips. DS1 is my sweet helper boy, who really helped me appreciate boys! He always tells me how I'm his best friend and how he loves me so much. Can't wait until I hear DS2 say it, it really is crazy having two in diapers at once, I'm still waiting for DS2 to say things, he says words here and there and today he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me, so that was sweet (he's usually too busy being on the run to stop for hugs.)
Flava, I lost 10 lbs and then regained it, then lost 5, gained back 5, so....my weight loss has been pinponging like mad. I'm trying to avoid sweets, and work out, and that's helping some, but when I slip off track for even one day, I feel like I'm back to being 5 lbs heavier again!
And also, I tried BF'ing my two boys and it didn't work out, mostly because my supply would never establish well because my right breast doesn't express milk thanks to cut milk ducts due to a surgery I had in my 20s. Anyway, this 3rd time, I didn't bother trying, but my sisters tried to make me feel guilty, like I being the worst mother in the world for not even trying to give my child what I could from my BF. But with my husband being a stay at home dad, it made no sense to try to pump maybe 2 oz out total and go through all that hassle at work (I don't have a private office, I work reference desk at library all day) so I made the right choice for me, even though others tried to guilt me into feeding Lillian some from the breast. My one sister urged just to let her suckle even if no milk would come out to give her that bond. While I think BF'ing is beyond excellent, i have tried and tried, and I just washed my hands to it.
Flava, Benjamin is one of my favorite names! I love it.
Auroara, don't let your family make you feel guilty about Breastfeeding! You are a wonderful mom. It doesn't matter how you feed little Lillian!
just logged in to post and baby is up! Have to come back if I get a break later.
hugs to all
Thanks ! It was really hard to pick a name we just got it days before baby came.Quote:

aurora-where did everyone saw your DS1 if you post a pic I missed it.
It's really not nice from your own sis to try to make you feel guilty ! You are a good mom you take care of your baby and don't let her go hungry! That's the most important thing! Some women's just don't understand or not even try that not everyone can BF not everyone is full of milk and no matter how hard they try there is just no more milk coming!!!
How come that our liver , heart ect works different but when it comes to the breast them bummm it's all the same for all of us? It's crazy to think so.
At least you did loose weight that's good! I will not loose until I BF even just a drip! Even with walking and exercise ! It's just stuck on me like it's glued on.
I have to loose 30lbs .Or more because my scale is broken so Im not sure have to buy a new one to see. I guess it's just bothering me more the others. Would be nice to put on my old clothes I have like 1 jeans right now and 3 shirts!
Plus I can't spend money on me I have 5 kids to buy stuff for.
Poor baby got his shots yesterday and it took forever and DH did not tell them not to make him wait so long so for sure next time I go there too.
And at night he was screaming in pain had to give him pain meds :sad:
Finally he is better today .I hate shots!
Hi ladies!!!! I just found this group :).....Loved reading everyones updates :)
Here is mine: Makalee is 9 weeks old now....She does have acid reflux and fussier than my boys were....I thinkwe have finally turned a corner tho....she is smiling now, no longer spitting up everything she eat....she sleeps awesome at night...like 10-12hrs....LOVE that....I have to wear her most of the day...She will have one 2-3hr nap in the morning and other than that I have to wear her....She hates all chairs and her swing and the car....Little diva! She only wants to be with me and it frustrates me at times but i know its just a phase and it will pass......My boys have adjusted pretty will...my 6 yr old is a great help....my 3 yr old dtill acts out a bit but is coming around...Life is busier for sure...
Thanks for creating this Hobber :)
hey ladybug ! So nice look like we gonna have a little group here to chit chat!
Our babys are the closest in age I can ask what is your little girl doing lol
I have to hold him a lot to he is just getting better to sit a little in the rock and play and a couple min. on the floor. Oh and we need pics!
The doc yesterday said maybe we have acid reflux too Im just about to google that because I have no idea about it.
My baby spit up a lot to and in any time no matter when he ate or if he lay down sitting up whatever he is just spitting up a lot.
Some days are better then others .
When will this stop? Do they grow out of it or what?
The doc just said feed him more often smaller portions. Well that's what we are doing kinda so it's not working. I don't know what else to do.
Hi Ladybug! Sorry about Makalee having reflux. It's hard when babies don't feel good. From what I understand, most of the time they will grow out of it.
Flava, is your baby happy most of the time, or is he cranky? I thought mine had reflux too, but he is pretty happy mostly, so they say that if they are happy, the spitting up can be pretty normal.
hobber- I don't even know...or not sure. I have to hold him a lot and he only sleep 5-10 min. but he is not crying in pain or anything like that .So I guess he is ok?
Can you put your baby down and he is happy playing with his hand hanging out ect ?
We can't do that but maybe because he is just to little yet or because he want's to be held a lot and that's it.
Oh I wanted to ask what is that thing your baby is laying on?
How do you guys delete pics??
I wanted to remove my pics because I just dont like to leave it up all over online.Anyway I edited my post just removed the pics and what it did it just made my pics huge but the text wasn't there anymore.:confused: I dont get it...so I had to delete the whole post to make it gone.
How does everyone put baby down to sleep? On it's own and baby fall asleep or have to put him/her to sleep first ?
My baby only fall asleep sometimes in the day time for a short but at night we have to put him down sleeping already.
He use to wake up once eat and go back to sleep but now for a couple day he is up eat and don't want to go back to sleep just cry and fussy . I don't know why and DH was angry last night.:(
Must be great for ladybug!
Sawyer has the flu! I am totally freaked out. I had him at the ER just now and they gave him tamiflu. I hope it helps. I am so scared.
Hobbermittens I hope your little man will be ok :(

As for the reflux, she will out grow it....this is my second baby with it....She was not a happy spitter at all..she screamed like it was hurting her...it should get better around 6 months....
Makalee will not just go to sleep on her own yet either...she actually hates every chair, bouncer and swing we have and will only nap in the arms all day....I wear her most of the time in a carrier during the day...but i am lucky as she will sleep in her crib all night once we rock her to sleep....
Hobber....so sorry to hear about your little man....hope he feels better quickly...the Tamiflu works pretty quickly usually!
Hobbers, how is your man doing now?
I'm not sure how to delete pics on here, Flava, I've never tried.
Oh hobber I hope Sawyer is all better now! Must be so hard poor little baby :-( and they say BF protects the baby huh?
How is he now?? hugs
ladybug-I was posting that my baby sleeps at night too and we was happy . But for like a week now he wakes up to eat and don't want to go back to sleep anymore .It's really not easy and we have no idea why he change like this. He use to wake up only once eat and go back to sleep. i don't know what to do! And the top of this he do not sleep in the day time! Just some 5-10 min naps on me or in the rock and sleep that's it!
OMG - I can't believe I only found this thread now!! For the past two months I've been thinking of coming back here to set up a thread like this, and here there was one the whole time! I've missed you guys.
Sadie's 4 months now, and I'm still in awe of having a daughter. She's an absolute joy to be around - her smile lights up the room, and she smiles all the time. Here's a picture I took last night.
Attachment 8230
She's not a great napper, which is very different from all my boys. She naps when we're on the move - grocery shopping, etc., but rarely naps in her crib. Her nighttime sleep was pretty good until recently, but about a week ago she had a stomach bug and was miserable for days, then this week she's teething and is up every hour. Luckily she just has a quick nurse and goes right back to sleep. I finally moved her to her crib a few weeks ago because she was outgrowing her Moses basket, but I still occasionally bring her into bed with me.
I've been working, really, really hard to lose the baby weight and have lost 45 lbs so far!! I'm back to my normal pre-LE diet weight, but I'd like to get a little lower (the allure of fitting back into those size 0 jeans), so I'm going to keep at it for a while longer. I'm just tracking my calories very carefully, and eating no more than 1800 calories a day, which takes into account the 600 calories or so I burn by breastfeeding exclusively. Luckily for me I've never had supply issues, and dieting hasn't affected my supply at all.
So excited to catch up with you all and see your gorgeous babies!
mocha-Sadie is just such a pretty girl! You are so lucky with the diet and weight loss! Normally Im a size 0-1 but right now Im a fat pig not loosing anything whatsoever and I hate it.All my small clothes are in boxes waiting for me .:(
Oh yeah ladies Im sick too! And DD3&4 sick a little too. Im so hoping Benjamin is not getting this!
Sorry you're sick, Flava! All my other kids were born in the spring and early summer, so having a wee baby in cold and flu season is new to me. I find it quite stressful as my boys bring home every sickness imaginable from school!

I feel so stupid omg! Wonder why baby is not sleeping good anymore he must be a little sick too! He was so quiet and sleepy today look tired and maybe a little warm but no fever. I just hope this is it and it will not get worst for him.
I want flu season to be over !
Mocha!! So glad you found us here on the forums!!!
Lillian's been pretty cranky too with the teething. Yesterday tho, I spent like an hour just holding her and talking to her, and she LOVED it! she kept making noises, and smiling, keeping her eyes fastened on me. It broke my heart.
DS2 yesterday spilled out an small bottle of baby powder all over his room. Nothing major, it was easily vaccumed, but that boy is always cruising and looking for trouble!
I think or hope Benjamin is all better. He still spit up a lot .Mostly the BM the formula not so much. I don't know why?The doc said add a tsp of rice cereal in his bottle and that should help . We did not do it yet I don't know if he can drink it out like that ? Or if it's a good idea at all. Plus mostly we have problem with BM and I can't add nothing to that lol.
sorry about the teething DD4 had her first 2 when she was just 4 months old! No fun...
He is up again slept 10 min wow ...have to go.
How is everyone else??
Now I have the flu. Sawyer is getting better. THey gave him tamiflu, and it really helped. He still has a cough and some congestion, and had a rough night last night--he wanted to be held all night, so I slept sitting up. I feel like total crap. I hate flu season! My entire family had the flu shot (except Sawyer--he was too little) so I have NO idea why everyone got sick anyway! And then yesterday DS1 puked in the car; apparently there is a stomach bug going around as well. Aaaahhh!
Mocha, so glad you found us! Sadie is a doll! I love her little dress and sweater in that picture, too. She's a beauty!
Auroara, Lillian sounds so sweet! I am glad you are enjoying her. Your DS2 and my DD2 should get married someday..... they might be the next Bonnie and Clyde!! (just kidding!)
Flava, I don't know why Benjamin won't nap, but the baby I watch (he's 15 months now) was like that when he was little. He only cat napped. It was hard! But he grew out of it, and now takes 2 hour naps. Hopefully Benjamin will grow out of it too.
p.s. Mocha, congrats on the weight loss--that's awesome! I have lost quite a bit since Sawyer's birth (I was 192 when I delivered--yikes!--and now I am down to 154) but I am still 25 lbs away from where I should be. I feel like a whale! I need to start exercising! What have you done to lose weight?
aww Mocha, you have a very beautiful daughter :)
hobber Im sorry you guys are so sick. It is very hard for sure. We are not even suppose to be sick around here but there is so many ppl here this time around from up north and Canada and they bring all the viruses with them so we all get sick too.
We took DD1 to the ER a couple weeks ago and they said it's always full with out of state ppl lol.
I sure hope my baby out grow this cat naps fast because it's really hard to get anything done and my back is killing me.
Think mocha said she is counting calories and dieting too so she loosing weight.
I walk almost everyday and do some exercise but not loosing nothing because of the BF. have to loose 30lbs here!
I know Flava, I need to lose 25 but I wouldn't mind losing 30! All I have lost so far has been from Bfing, but that is slow going.... I need to start exercising. Problem is, I HATE exercise!! I would swim if I could, but we don't have a lap pool here (my town is so small!)
I wish I have time to go anywhere to work out! Even for the walks I only can go because I take the baby and DD4. But it's not fun with DD4 she is so slow she stop all the time for something she don't want to listen or she is whining for something ect. so not a relaxing walk. and I have to hope all the time baby don't start crying if he is up.so yeah...
I would like to go biking but only can do that when DH is home earlier and I can go alone of course. My legs are so weak can barely bike a little :( so i could really use some training here!
Maybe we should do work out videos! I wonder if there are any decent ones out there?
So how is Baby Benjamin? Is he all better? Sawyer is doing okay I think, he seems better. I am still sick, but not too bad. I am just waiting for my other kids to start barfing, since DS1 puked the other day, I am sure someone else will get the stomach bug....
hobber I was thinking the same thing!! But no idea what to get? I don't know which workout dvd would be the best.
Benjamin is all better maybe he was not sick at all or just very little. What makes me crazy is he got a blocked tear duct on one eye and it's just not getting better. The other side was the same but got all ok after like 2 week or so.
DD2 had the same on one side.
I wish the big sisters would like to play with him more ...but hopefully when he is a little bigger and can hold toys and such...
Good thing Sawyer is all better! I hope none of your other kids get sick! On 1 side I hate this months but on the other this are the only couple months we can go outside here!
Hi ladies - sorry - I forgot to check back in here. I have to get back into the habit of doing that...
Yes, I achieved my weight loss really just by counting calories. I use the iPhone app Loseit. I entered my details and how much weight I wanted to lose a week (1.5 lbs). It told me I could eat 1200 calories per day, and there's no way I could do that...but because I'm breastfeeding exclusively, I added 600 calories to that - the average amount of calories a breastfeeding woman burns in a day. So I'm eating 1800 calories a day - similar to when I was on the LE diet. Actually, I'm eating in a similar way to LE. I usually skip breakfast because it gives me more calories to play with later in the day, then I have a healthy 300-500 calorie lunch, a big dinner, and snacks In the evening. No exercise other than running after my kids. I was 178 a week before Sadie was born and am now 132. I'm at my ' normal' adult weight when not dieting. I could be happy here, but since the weight's come off so easily so far I figure why not go a bit further? My goal is 115 lbs. I don't want to be quite as skinny as I was while TTC, when I was close to 100.
I hope everyone's kids are feeling better. Sadie has started rolling from her back to her tummy and back again. I've finally gotten her adjusted to an early bedtime 6:30-7:00, and she's only waking up twice in the night and sleeping till 7 or so...but still no real naps during the day unless she's in the stroller or car.
