mpc, glad to see you! You must be exhausted. I think at a month S was nursing pretty much every 2 hours at night. Which meant he would nurse for 45 minutes to an hour, then I would try to get him settled, I would go pump, then I would get into bed 20 minutes AFTER starting to pump. Finally fall asleep and an hour later he was up again. It was brutal. Hugs, friend.
thoseareradishes, is E a good sleeper? Could you just turn her head while she is sleeping? Last night S had diarrhea in his sleep and we were able to change his diaper without him waking up, lol.
OMG turboteal!!! That is crazy. You just got pregnant, I feel like! I hope she comes tomorrow on her own but if not, I wish you a smooth and easy induction. Please report back here with a birth story!

shauni27, she's a good sleeper but a light sleeper, especially early in the evening. In addition, we keep her door shut and it creaks and sticks like crazy when I try to open it which wakes her up. Wahh!

Time change has been a cluster here. Saturday I kept him up late and he actually STTN which doesnt happen often. However, hes been up at 5 the last 4 days even though we've tried adjusting bedtime. Not a fan of this time change.

shauni27 j is long and lean too. 12 month pants just fit him lengthwise but they mostly fall off him. We got his Christmas pictures taken today and as he tried walking to me his jean's totally fell down lol.

For those of you with lean babies, I really like Carter's pants because a lot of them have an adjustable elastic in the waistband. Those are the only ones I can keep on G because his waist and leg ratio is off. OF course, if he keeps eating the way he's eating, then...we won't have these issues...


thoseareradishes, do you know what it is about preemies that create speech delays?  I'm super curious on this!

I haven't been able to find any Carters pants that stay on... they all seem to be too big in the waist. E wears Old Navy and Childrens Place. He is 3T in length and like 18M in the waist. He wore the same shorts for like 3 summers.

I don't know, I will try to remember to ask her speech therapist if he knows.  With E, I think some of it was due to her having to catch up on so many things, and speech took a back seat.  Her receptive language seems fine, it's just her expressive language that is lagging.

If you don't care about gendered clothing, you might want to try some black or grey leggings. A is long and lean - already in 4t pants but leggings are the only thing she can wear that fit her waist. I've bought cute cargos and things from the "boys" section and they just fall right off her. Sad that girls' clothes are cut to emphasize slim figures.

Yea, I've bought leggings from the girls section for E before, but mostly as a thinner layer to put under pants when it's really cold out.
