Updates on babies born in 2015

[krystee]

Since all these updates are happening, I thought I'd make one for us too!

1. How old is your baby?
2. What are the best and worst parts of your baby's current age?
3. If you had plans to TTC again or be finished after this one, have you changed your mind or do you plan to stick with those plans? And what are they?
4. Are you on ML, back at work or a SAHM? How's it going?

[pooh8402]

what about the babies still to be born in 2015?

update: after a false alarm on Sunday, I'm still pregnant. but DONE DONE DONE.

unsure if we're having 1 or 2. I want 2+, DH is on the fence.

ML plan is FMLA for 12 weeks, ~9-10 weeks paid. then back to work FT, but hoping to talk to DH about me going PT.

1. 3 months (15 weeks on Wed)
2. I LOVE this age! The laughs and babbling are the very best, and he has such a personality. I don't love the lack of naps. He needs to sleep!
3. We had plans to TTC again when he is 18 months to two years, and we will stick with that plan. I love being a mom, but I think being a mom of two will be a lot more challenging since I love being on the go with him, and he is very content and portable.
4. Back at work, and I'm enjoying it. I miss him a lot, but I think working has been good for me. I wish I could do it three days a week instead, but that's not in the cards.

I hope it's soon, pooh8402!! Have you posted nursery pics? I remember your ideas sounded so nice and I want to see!!

lol, it's still not done. about 85%, but not done.

1. 5.5 months

2. Best is the constant smiles and giggles. Worst is the crappy sleep.

3. I thought I wanted one more until we found out about p's health problems. Now I am pretty sure we are done, like 85%. I cannot imagine going through another pregnancy worried about stroke risks. If we do have a third it's at least 3-4 years away.

4. Back at work. It's crazy but I love it. My co-workers are so great.

2. She's an awesome baby, perfect schedule and only cries if she poops (seriously). She giggles, smiles at me from across the room, laughs at DS all the time. No complaints.
3. We want 4-ish. So far still the same plan (2 right now).
4. She goes with me to work (I work with my H). All is good, most people forget she's there because she's so quiet!

[christy082]

1. How old is your baby?
4.5 months (20 weeks today).

2. What are the best and worst parts of your baby's current age?
Best- the belly laughs. It's the greatest feeling ever making her laugh. Worst- 4 month sleep regression. Kill me now.

3. If you had plans to TTC again or be finished after this one, have you changed your mind or do you plan to stick with those plans? And what are they?
I'm pretty sure we're OAD. My anxiety towards the end of the pregnancy got pretty bad, and then I developed PPD/PPA that was pretty awful and I'm not sure I could handle that again. I really did not like the newborn stage. If I could just skip to having a 3 month old then I'd consider two, lol.

4. Are you on ML, back at work or a SAHM? How's it going?
Back at work since May 8th. Going well. I love the break from caring for her all day that work gives me. I work part time and from home (the grandmas take turns babysitting at my house while I work), so I have the best of both worlds.

[preppy]

1. How old is your baby? -11 weeks (or 29 weeks pregnant however you want to look at it)
2. What are the best and worst parts of your baby's current age? The kicks under the ribs and general uncomfortableness.
3. If you had plans to TTC again or be finished after this one, have you changed your mind or do you plan to stick with those plans? And what are they? We plan on 1-2 more after this. Timing is TBD.
4. Are you on ML, back at work or a SAHM? How's it going? I will be taking 12-15 weeks then going back to work full time.

I forgot the most important part! Post pics if you have them!

1. 5 months!
2. Best part is the smiles, giggles, and genuine curiosity.  Worst part is her lack of desire to sit still (and that will only get worse!)
3. We have no plan. We'll make a call around 18 months.
4. Back to work and it's awesome. I get to be an adult and talk about adult things all day while my kid is safe and happy and cared for. Love it.

Pictures? Well, ok.

DS is 11 weeks, and like 15 lbs. he's so chubby and squishy I love to squeeze him! His smiles melt my heart. And the coo-ing!

He is sleeping 12-10. I feel like I can't complain about that, but I'm not a night person and it's really hard for me to stay up so late. I've almost fallen asleep standing up rocking him a few times.

I'm back at work and it's going really well (just tired). So much easier than w DD, emotionally. DH is a SAHD so I think that helps too.

1. 5 months! I can hardly believe it

2. Best: I love watching him reach for things and try to hold them. The hand-eye coordination still needs work, but he loves Sophie and his rattle and his rings... It's super cute. Plus he's super smiley and giggly
Worst: 4:30 am wake ups 

3. Geez, woman! Too soon!

4. I've been back about 2 months, and the hours have been rough. I had to work all Memorial Day weekend (though mostly from home), which kinda broke my heart. But m on vacation this week and loving being able to cuddle and play with him all day long.

I lurk more than post but am going to play, too!

1. 13 weeks
2. Best: watching her personality develop (her "talking", smiles, scowl, pouty lip, spit bubbles, and desire to just GO!) // Worst: sleep is all sorts of out of whack. She teased us with a week of sleeping through the night, only to rip it right out from under us!
3. TDB. We originally wanted two, but H is 40 (with a 16 year old) and I'm 37 and I can't imagine doing this all over again right away, but can't imagine waiting until we're much older, either so I don't know where we'll shake out.
4. I go back on Monday of next week. Part of me is very excited to be around adults again, finish a cup of coffee while it's still hot, prove to myself that I still have a functioning brain…and the other part of me is sad to be leaving her (what if I miss her first laugh or roll over or…).

1. How old is your baby? 10 days
2. What are the best and worst parts of your baby's current age? she's a pretty good sleeper,I end up waking her up to nurse because my boobs hurt so bad. She is gaining weight and almost back to birth weight, and that newborn smell. It's intoxicating.
3. If you had plans to TTC again or be finished after this one, have you changed your mind or do you plan to stick with those plans? And what are they? We are done. I had my tubes removed during my c-section
4. Are you on ML, back at work or a SAHM? How's it going? on ML until beginning of november! Looking forward to having the summer off - DS was a winter baby and we stayed in a lot due to flu season.

1. 5 months ( 3 adjusted)

2. I love how he's becoming so much more communicative. I love smiles and giggles. Worst part is he now has preferences and opinions! Lol!! Like he gets mad if something isn't what he wanted. I had no idea he'd have an opinion this young.

3. The plan was to wait til about 18 months and then reevaluate. As of right now we're still on that plan.

4. Technically my ML ended on the last day of school and I've been on summer break since Memorial Day. I realize how lucky I am and have not taken this time with James for granted. School starts in 5 weeks.

[blueberry10]

1. 6 months on Friday! It is so cliché but seriously, I can't believe how fast time is flying.

2. Best parts: Smiles, giggles (especially the ones toward his sister's antics), watching how he adores his big sis, some cuddles among all of the wiggling. I really like baby stage. Worst: crappy sleep, and still wants to be held a lot - he gets bored after spending much time on the floor, so I don't get much done.

3. The plan was to be done with two, and I think we are still there. I feel tugs in my heart for another, but we really can't afford it and I don't think I could stay sane with a third. I think I would have twinges for one last baby no matter how many we had.

4. I've been back at work for about 3 months. It's been hard and I don't love it, but it's what I need to do. I'm feeling restless at times but the fringe benefits are too good for me to leave. Deep down I think I wish I could SAH or go part time, but those are not options so I suck it up and keep going.

[blueberry10]

Oh yeah, a picture - this is from weekly shots that I take with his giraffe.

[krystee]

@pnkybrwstr that pic is the best thing ever!

[sarahsas]

1. 3 months

2. Best- smiles and laughs, knowing what he wants when he is fussy, STTN! Worst- having to go back to work soon

3. We thought we probably wanted two and that's still the plan. Will start talking when he is 18mos.

4. Technically still on leave since I work in education, but have worked a day here and there. Very anxious about going back because I'm unsure about my childcare situation. Someone asked me about it this weekend and I started crying.

1. How old is your baby? 7 weeks today
2. What are the best and worst parts of your baby's current age?  He smiles and has a little giggle.  He's still very snuggly, but is also developing a little personality.  
3. If you had plans to TTC again or be finished after this one, have you changed your mind or do you plan to stick with those plans? And what are they?     We are done.  DH needs to schedule his appointment but he's dragging his feet.  
4. Are you on ML, back at work or a SAHM? How's it going?  I SAH.  I also have a 3.5 year old so I'm pretty busy.  But we do a lot of activities and my MIL comes along several days of the week so I have lots of help.  

[jennistarr1]

She will be three months on Wednesday.  I had 8 weeks of maternity leave, I am back at work and it's going fine, I hate my job as much as ever.  I pump about 10 ounces each day for her the next day.  It's enough for now but I am trying to increase it and hopefully get some in freezer. 

I am not trying to brag, but I have a dream baby.  Breastfeeding has gone well, she sleeps through the night and is pretty easy in general.  I am very very lucky.  Believe me, it's nothing special I did.

I will probably try for number two to be born 2 years after her, hopefully a vbac

i love love being a mom...this from a girl that was never sure if she wanted kids

I'm 2014, but J was born in December so I'm going to sneak in!

1) J will be 7 months tomorrow.

2) I love how he's really starting to communicate with us. He lets us know what he likes, dislikes, sleepy, etc. The way he lights up when I get home from work...I melt! He gets super excited, and his arms start flapping. Even if I just stepped out of the room for a couple of minutes, he gets so happy when he sees me again. I love this age, and haven't found anything to dislike - such an improvement over the newborn stage.

3) We we're originally OAD, but now I can't imagine not being pregnant again and bringing home another itty bitty baby.

4) I went back to work after 7 weeks of ML. I leave 90 minutes earlier than before, and it's been a big help. I work from home 1 day every other week, and that's been nice too.

1. How old is your baby?
19wks 3 days (had to look it up!)

2. What are the best and worst parts of your baby's current age?
Best- so amazing watching her discover everything. Smiles. Laughing! All the new noises.
Worst- lack of sleep. Super fussy but just diagnosed with reflux and suddenly she is a happy baby!!!

3. If you had plans to TTC again or be finished after this one, have you changed your mind or do you plan to stick with those plans? And what are they?
We are one and done.

4. Are you on ML, back at work or a SAHM? How's it going?
Just went back to work last week. It's going ok. Pumping at work is not awesome.

Not sure how to post a photo but dd is super cute
