Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers

OK, still in between craziness...will type more tonight..

Just came back from docs for full pelvic exam. Now I can have sex. Boy oh boy. Not.

Re: going outside. Ironically one of the few public places I did take her was...the hospital! We didn''t know how much longer my dad would last so I made the executive decision to take her to see him. He was in ICU, which was pretty empty at the time and I was told it might be safer than say, the emergency room.

There are probably more germs in our apartment than anywhere outside.
20.gif
I''m a big believer in germs and not sheltering babies from them. However as was mentioned, if the baby breaks a fever, she goes to the hospital. Our doc will admit anything under 6 weeks. I hear they have to do all sorts of things...spinal tap or something...it ain''t pretty. So my thing is, why not err on the side of caution? I did take her out when she was about 3 or 4 weeks to a restaurant, outdoor seating when it was a warm day thinking that would be OK. Well, she got fussy and before I could say "whoa" some lady came to the stroller and starting patting her and touching her. I was like, excuse me...she is OK. Please don''t touch her. After that, I just took her for walks. People just think they have a right to touch babies for some reason...I know their heart is in the right place, but don''t people know this yet? Is this a new thing that strangers shouldn''t touch newborns?

Basically my doc said don''t live in a bubble...do what you gotta do, but if you don''t HAVE to do it, don''t. I don''t *have* to hang out with my friends at restaurants...as far as I was concerned if I couldn''t manage that for 6 weeks, I had a problem. As it turns out...I had a problem...I almost went nuts!!!

Love the new baby pics! Have I said before that is the best thing about this thread?

re: this thread going too fast...there are a lot more people here than when I first started and I want to encourage all the preggos (and new moms) to just enjoy, read what you can, and post what you want! I just like reading people''s updates...I don''t need everyone to address me or respond to me by name...I just kind of use this thread as a bit of a journal. If you try and keep up and address everyone, you''ll go nuts! Everyone is busy here and totally understands and (username)-centric posts are always welcome. Please don''t not post because you feel you can''t keep up!

Jas your hubby is so sweet. Suffice it to say that our husbands are NOT twins! TGuy is sweet in his own way, but he is a blokey bloke. He was worried about Amelia too when she first got home (she was underweight), but only admitted after we got through it that he was really worried. He has been encouraging as of late, but that is only because I am starting to show cracks in my armor. He has admitted in the past he thinks I''m some sort of superwoman, and I really have to try to show him from time to time that I am HUMAN!

Janine, congrats on the girl! I love little girls.

I hope when I remarked about how hard it was to keep up that people weren''t offended. I love reading all the posts and want to stay part of the conversation. It was an observation, not a condemnation.

This is just the greatest thread in the world...it allows me (and others) to simultaneously go through the process with people in a similar situation, be guided by those who have been there, and learn about what is to come!

Looking back, I''m sure my post seemed cranky...I''m just having a cranky couple of days...I''m feeling the weight of the pregnancy (literally) and apparently it''s just made me a joy to be around.

My apologies! Write on, people! Right on people!
 
I am having a much harder time keeping up with this thread than I thought I would! Still, you guys are awesome, your babies are gorgeous and your input is priceless!

Jas -- First of all, I''m terribly jealous of your belly shot -- I think we are comparable right now and you have 6 weeks on me!! PS I see no constellations -- you look like you are glowing tho :) Secondly -- CONGRATS ON TWO BOYS!!! Boys are wonderful -- take it from me since i have 3 of ''em :) I think it''s adorable that your DH wants to have his little girl too -- maybe you''ll get a 2-girl set in the next go-around!!! ;)

Janine -- congrats on finding out it''s a girl!!! That''s it, i''m officially chainging my name to sk8rgirl if it''ll help ;)

Curly-- Lily''s pics were great!!

Burk -- yay for giggles!! those are the best :)

Tacori -- Tessa looks so cute being a big girl and sitting!

Lili -- no, i''m not doing the amnio, but i *am* hoping to find out the genders as soon as they can tell! J is gorgeous, btw -- LOVED that 3 week pic and NO she does NOT look like a boy!! haha

LIA -- what a perfect u/s pic!! I wanted to know the genders and found out with all 3 of my boys, and I want to know with the twins too -- I''m totally with ya on the planning thing. BUT i do NOT want to share the genders with people I know IRL -- I really would like that part to be a surprise, and it''s causing a LOT of friction between DH and I. Sucks to be pg and arguing with dh, so i hope you two find a common ground on this soon!

Neatfreak -- sorry to hear about the fire and water dmage, but glad everyone is ok... scary, though!

MrsS -- Jake''s pics are SO cute -- great idea with the bear :)

TGal - how''s Amelia''s neck doing?

Ella -- thanks for the "girl" vibes :) My boys used to sleep in swings and bouncers -- it doesn''t matter where they sleep if they are actually *getting sleep* does it?? ;) I giggles about K''s raspberries -- i think those are more fun for the parents than the babies :) Yay for Gabe holding his bottle too!

Jas -- glad to hear Co is sleeping better!

Hi to everyone else -- I am SO sorry I suck at keeping up!!!

Not much new -- anxiously awaiting my next appt (not until next week) so that maybe we''ll get some peeks at babies'' goodies...other than that, I''m feeling pretty good
so I''m happy to have nothing to complain about!! For those of you that have asked, yes, I have finally sidelined myself at the rink and am no longer putting on skates *at all* -- just finally got a bit bigger than i was comfortable with on the ice, but I move a lot having to teach and yell from the sides!

I know it''s late, but I hope you all had a wonderful Mother''s Day!!

jen AKA sk8r"girl" if it helps!!!!!!

Huh? What? Who, me?

I have literally burst in the last three days...I look 7 months preggo with a singleton. But thanks.

Glad you''re doing well. Do you have any inkling what you''re carrying? Having spent many years working with kids, I say that yelling is just a great cardio workout.

I always love the baby pics. =)

We are going to the maternity ward tour tonight. I am excited. =)
 
Ah yes, it was the best!! I seriously cried when I called DH to tell him. I''m sure you mommies who have giggling babies know the feeling....so hard to describe. I can''t quit smiling. And now she''s napping on my hubby''s chest on the couch. So sweet.

Tacori~she''ll be 4 months Sunday. I was starting to think she''d never giggle. She was sooo close for like a month.

Ella~I have a feeling she''ll be like your K. She is always making crazy noises and is just quite the "conversationalist." I thought she was going to giggle many times in the past month. The video camera is sitting on the mantel ready for use!
 
I can''t keep up with this thread, and I started it, LOL. I read what I can, and respond when I can. That''s all anyone can ask for, IMHO.

Yay for the giggles Burk, Miss Tayva is quite the cutie pie. Wait till she does the full on belly laugh. My son used to get everyone rolling when he laughed. I love the giggles, my daughter still gets the giggles, and then she gets me going. It''s bad when we are together. She''s turning 20.

Now I have to go back and read who is having a girl, I told ya I can''t keep up.

Hi everyone!

Kay, thanks for your empathy on the MIL-much appreciated! Your plan was exactly what I proposed to DH.

Fingers crossed for your amnio! Let us know when you get your results!

The nappy bag is from www.oioi.com.au and they have a range of patterns and colours. Someone said to me that I''d be carrying it daily for the next two years so to get one that I was happy to carry with different outfits. I plan to use my Things Terrific bag when the baby is really little and then upgrade to this when I need more stuff.

Burk, yay for the laughing baby!

Jackie, Jas, TGal, others-I''m glad you''ve kept posting and I agree the pressure should be off to respond to everyone-it does make me less inclined to chime in if I am worried I will hurt someone''s feelings by not replying personally!

Okay, so I''m feeling better about the bit of a baby belly I have after the ultrasound today. The baby had snuggled down into the bottom of the womb and pushed all the amniotic fluid to the top-right up to the level of my belly button!
6.gif
S/he''s kickin'' up a storm in there!

I''ll try and attach a couple of photos:

In this one s/he is just relaxin'' with feet up-just like mummy in the evenings! Ha! Head is to the right of the screen.

littlebeang12a.jpg
 
And this is one of the ones that shows lb''s position until I drank a litre of water to push him/her out of the pelvis. Not happy about the relocation-kicked up a storm!

Head is still to the right but you get a better view of the legs here.

littlebeang12b.jpg
 
The other thing I was wondering is that I have felt ''fluttering'' down in the pelvis on a couple of occasions. It''s about 2 weeks earlier than most people say that you should feel movement but looking at the scan today I thought I felt the occasional kick that was recorded on the scan. I wonder if it''s because lb has wedged him/herself down in a corner of the womb?

Anyhoo, it''s probably just gas. Sounds much more romantic to say ''baby kicking'' than gas though!
9.gif


How''s that for a gemma-centric post!! Hee hee. I''ll have to take some belly pics-in the am it looks like a proper belly whereas in the pm I just look like I''ve tucked into one too many Tims Tams. And by ''one'' I mean ''one packet''!
23.gif
 
Thanks Jen. She is getting so big so fast.

Burk, T had her first real laugh on her 4 month b-day. I think she had giggled before that but I only count it as a milestone if it is *obvious* I am just weird like that. Now she is ticklish so I can REALLY get her going. It''s so funny.

Gemma, beautiful scan! I felt flutters (like bubbles) but like above don''t count feeling movement until my first kick at 20 weeks. Felt like she was tapping. Very cool.

Q, have fun on the tour! I got emotional during ours.

Jas, in 15 years you''ll be glad you have boys. I am already a little frightened of teenage Tessa.

RE KEEPING UP: I agree just post what you can and what you want. There were less preggos when I first "joined" so easier to keep up.
 
Yay Tayva!! Keep up the giggles!

I agree with Tacori, little babies are just too little to sleep train. The only thing I did was put mine down awake & hope for the best. LOL. For the first few months I did pick up either kid if they even ventured a cry. Both wanted no part of their bassinet the first 2 weeks of life and camped out on my chest at night. But I always "started as I intended to finish" meaning I''d put them down awake & hoped that one day they''d be like "oh....ok, I get it, mom is right there, and if things really do get cold/wet/dirty/hungry/scary she will be there for me! cool! I can snooze now!!!" And yes, that is what they said...verbatim. LOL!

Taking babies out: babies do have immunites that cross the placenta for 9 months, so its not like they are completely unprotected. Jake was a winter baby, so I stayed in a bit....but he did go to Safeway, Starbucks, and BRU. He was in all sorts of restaurants from about 2 weeks on. I just didn''t let people touch him & I washed my hands obsessively. I didn''t take Delaney to any of Jake''s playgroup activities (nor did I take him to the gym daycare to bring nasties home to her) for a few months. Because of our climate, my kids were always so bundled that no one could get to them anyway. I also wore D in a sling for the first few months, so you''d have to basically dig near my boobs to get to her. I must look intimidating because no one ever ventured in.
11.gif


Skippy: Delaney is a fireball....man, that kid is afraid of no one & wants to wrestle her brother 24/7. We took her in the pool at our hotel last week & she went bananas. Splashing, dunking her head in the water, kid tried to jump out of my arms & swim off...guess when your mommy''s Internet ID is "Divergrrl" because she loves to scubadive, you come by your love of water honestly. So now bathtime is a nightmare. She won''t hold still & tries to divebomb to the bottom of the tub. So now I''m terrified to go to our friends house at the coast this summer. I can barely keep Jake from running headlong into the ocean, now I have two fish-children? It''s ok, I''m glad, since we do a lot of water sports, but until they are good swimmers, its one heart attack after another for me.

My ped said swim lessons for kids under 3 is a waste of time/money, but I''m signing Jake up this summer & I might do a mommy & baby swim class for D since she''s such a sea monkey. I think she''d enjoy it immensely.

Something funny I read on this thread: I forgot who posted it, but I had a "veteran mommy" chuckle at the comments of "introducing foods" and working through the green veggies before moving on to the next food. With Jake, I sterilized everything, and when it came to food, I intro''d one food at a time, wrote it in a journal, charted his reactions, likes, dislikes, and when I was sure there was no adverse reaction, I''d start over with a new food--I was perfect!

With D, she gets whatever jar I grab from the cupboard or a bite of anything soft I might be eating, I don''t pay attention to any of that, and there have been days when she''s tried 2 or 3 new things because she grabs them and puts them in her mouth. (Pizza, cheese, crackers, my wine glass...lol) Just today she sampled the kitty kibble. I dug it out of her mouth, but she was digging that fishy flavor.
3.gif


The only thing I worry about is choking & obvious allergens (strawberries, peanuts/peanut butter/shellfish/eggs/etc////) But seriously, I have not sterilized a thing (I run everything in my dishwasher though) and if she drops a bink, i just shake it and hand it back to her if we are home & rinse it in water if we are out. Lazy, but hey....that''s 2nd time mom syndrome. If they aren''t bleeding/choking, its just not a problem.
2.gif


ok...kids are sleeping & I want to go read...My book club is reading The Other Boleyn Girl & I love it.

Janinegirly: your name make me chuckle because my first name is Jeannine.

Burk, I can''t believe Tayva is 4 months already - where did that time go?? (Easy for me to say - I''m not the one feeding her at night!
2.gif
)

I''m torn between wanting this pregnancy to end so I can see my baby and hoping I go late so I can finish school - just two days past my due date would do it, although my midwife reckons it might be a little early. We''ll see!

It''s gone past in a flash so I''m kind of enjoying these last few days/ weeks. In a way, I''m really going to miss being pregnant, I''ve surprised myself with how much I enjoyed it!

TGal, I can''t believe a random stranger would come up and touch your baby. I would be really uncomfortable with that. I keep hearing about interfering busybodies, but I actually saw one in action a couple of days ago. DH and I were out for lunch and the people at the next table had their baby with them, in a stroller. She looked to be maybe four or five months old. At least three other people in the restaurant went over to them and made a direct comment or offered advice to the parents, ranging from ''you shouldn''t feed her formula'' to ''gosh, she''s chubby - do you worry?'' We were totally speechless. The child was lovely and her mother was feeding her something out of a bottle - could have been expressed milk or formula or pina colada for all we knew. Totally no one else''s business. I can see I''m going to have to grow a thicker skin, because I was as mad as hell on her behalf. What makes people think they have the right???

Thanks for all the pics - PS babies do seem to be cuter than average!

Jen
 
Good Lord, my daughter gave me a fright this morning...

I put her to bed at 10 pm last night...a little later than I wanted. I woke up this morning at 6:15 and realized with a start that I had not fed her in the middle of the night. I said in a slight panic to my husband "she never made a sound last night!"

I bolted out of bed and went to her crib where she was still. I slightly poked her and she stirred...what a relief! Then I realized she slept through the night!!! 8+ hours! Can this possibly be good for a 6 week old? Is this normal? She slept so much during the day yesterday too...maybe sleep really does beget more sleep.

I''m not complaining mind you, and it was probably a fluke, but I''m not sure if a baby this young should be sleeping for 8 hours straight at night. I will have to ask her ped. I know Diver, you said that your kids were 8 to 8 by two months, so maybe some babies are OK with this. Hm. Either way...

I feel HUMAN!
36.gif


I have to say, I love my girl, but I have started to fall IN love with her the last few days. I also have been getting more sleep. Coincidence? I think not!
3.gif


Burk, thought of you this morning when my girl gave me a half-a** smile when I went to go greet her in the morning. I thought, how awesome must those first giggles be?

Jen, thanks for asking...Amelia is doing better with her exercises/neck. Mornings are easier than afternoons because she is so much more well rested. Glad to hear you are off the ice...had me a bit concerned there!

Jackie, I don''t think you were cranky at all! I didn''t respond to your post specifically re: thread moving too fast. A lot of people commented and I know sometimes I feel like I don''t have the time to respond to all of the posts so I opt not to post at all. I just think that everyone should just post when they like with no pressure...otherwise this thread becomes a burden and I know I LOVED this thread while preggo so hope it can just be a fun place to come hang out and say what you want and read what you want.

Gemma, oioi bags seem pretty cool! I have never seen one in person but heard a bit about them when I was checking out diaper bags. Excellent choice! Great ultrasound pics...now that I have mine out of the womb, the u/s pics are more amazing to me! I felt Amelia at 17 weeks for sure...fluttering to start then tapping. And Tim Tams...yuuuuuuuuuuuuuum.....

Diver, we are doing the same...put her down and see what happens. I mean, if she let''s out a squawk or two, I''m not going to pick her up...I figure she''s tired and saying so. But if it sounds remotely like a cry, I go over and see what''s up. I think the swaddling helps a lot. I notice during her day naps when I either don''t swaddle her or use just a receiving blanket for a loose swaddle, she doesn''t sleep long, and wakes up a lot by startling herself. So for the preggos, I recommend trying the miracle blanket if your baby likes to be swaddled, and use it early! TGuy didn''t want to use it early because he wanted to learn how to swaddle with a regular blanket and boy oh boy did she HATE it when I first used it. She still protests but I pretty much only use it at bedtime.

MrsM, I was honestly surprised too. I didn''t think people would REALLY do that. But most people just love babies! I guess I didn''t really care for them much so I never approached or touched them. I wonder if the people that do that are a little older? I can''t see younger women doing it, but who knows. You''ll find out yourself if people really are meddling when you have yours in the very near future!!!
1.gif
 
Tgal~it was at around 6 weeks when Tayva started smiling "for real" all the time. It is such an awesome feeling! Congrats on the sleep! That''s great. It could be she''s just going to be a good sleeper, or she could be going through a growth spurt...they tend to sleep more during the growth spurts. Who knows. Don''t you dare think about waking her up!! You''ve got a good thing going there!!

RE OiOi bags: I have one. I love it. I really wanted the Coach diaper bag but figured $400 for a diaper bag wasn''t a good choice (put that towards a sparkly purchase!!!)

Jen~glad you''re off the ice but have to say I can totally relate. I am a volleyball coach and I played with my players up until 28 weeks. Of course I didn''t roll around on the ground, but I played in scrimmages and I initiated all drills. Some people thought I was nuts, but I''ve been playing forever and I know my body.

Kaleigh~I''m so glad you started this thread! Sounds like you and your daughter have a great relationship. I hope to be so lucky!

Gemma~Love the US photos!! So exciting.

MrsMitchell~ I know!! They grow too fast! I hope everything works out with school and your birth...hopefully baby will cooperate!

Hi Ladies- Just wanted to say hi and glad everyone sounds like they are doing well!!!!!

Wow Tgal 8 hours sounds wonderful. I love reading your posts as they are very honest and up-front. That''s so cool that you are feeling "in love" with Amelia. I can''t wait for those feelings.

NF Thanks so much for the info re: CBT. It was helpful and I am planning on looking into it further. I briefly spoke to my therapist about it yesterday and she kinda said that that is what we are doing already but I have a feeling there is more to it than what we are doing. She is still helpful though and she has personal experience with anxiety so can give me good insight I think.

Glad to hear everyone chiming in about feeling free to post/not post. I tend to get overwhelmed so easily and sometimes it feels like a lot of pressure. Jas I don''t think you sounded cranky- sometimes we are our own worst critic, right?

For all of you active mommies/mommies to be- I have usually tried to go to the gym each week a few times- do 30 min on elliptical or something like this. Also will do classes 1 hour like zoomba or weight/cardio class - I have been hesitant to do much and also lazy- Do you guys know anything specific I should not do- like if I have a yoga dvd at home, can I do all the poses? Can I still work on abs if I want? I know I shouldn''t overdo it, get too hot or start something new, but I am not sure if anything else has to change? I think I read somewhere that at 16 weeks you can''t do exercises on your back any more? By the way I am gonna double check with my Dr. And when I am so early, do I need to worry about sleeping on my tummy vs side?

Well I have made it to my u/s. almost. On Friday I go to get an u/s, and I am so excited/scared. Not too much longer now.

Take care everyone...
 
Diver, in a lot of ways I ALREADY have 2nd time mom syndrome. I can''t imagine how relaxed I will be with my next. I rarely wash off her paci if it falls (only tend too when a little kid in the neighborhood starts fingering it. *That* does make me a tad nervous. Dirt under the nails and all). I also don''t sterilize anything above using my dishwasher. I don''t chart her reactions and unless she is breaking out in hives I figure it''s fine. I don''t chart anything actually
40.gif
I do want to do veggies first b/c everyone tells me they are harder once fruit has been introduced.

How funny no one touches T either. But then again only one stranger touched my belly. I think I give the "don''t touch me vibe" too.

TGal, yay for a good night! Might not be the start of a pattern though...just a warning
2.gif
I bet she is growing and that would make anyone tired. I hear ya at falling IN love with DD. T started smiling at 5 weeks and that is one I felt the change too.

MrsM, hang in there! You are getting close.

Burk, anymore giggles?
 
tgal, yay for a good nights sleep. I would always freak out when I realized my babies didn''t wake up at night too and run to check if they were breathing. i just checked out the website for the miracle blanket and am going to order one for Jake. he likes to be swaddled but can easily get out. Plus, he''s so big the regular receiving blankets don''t really cover him right allowing me to make a tight swaddle. i worry he''ll get loose at night and end up with the blanket over his face or something.
 
ella: i love your necklace. those twins have great taste
3.gif
 
well, i shouldn''t have mentioned Cohen sleeping 6 hours straight --b/c last night he was up every 2.5 hours! ?? what gives?! sheesh...
i think he is up now--i can hear him farting away on the baby monitor--his gas actually wakes him up! How can someone so tiny have *such* loud toots!??
I am not sure when i''ll move him to his own room--he is so noisy--hums, grunts, babbles constantly. It is super cute, but hard to sleep thru.

Tgal--that''s crazy--8 hours! Hmph--i am envious! Co didn''t sleep well last night, and is not napping today! little bugger

Burk--congrats on the 3-min giggle--how neat. I can''t wait for that stage!


MrsS. I use the miracle blanket every day--Cohen will not stay swaddled in regular blankets either. It seems like you are puttign your kid in a straight jacket, but it works!

pavelover---i exercised at my regular intensity for almost the entire pregnancy (weights and cardio classes 5 days a week)--the only thing i did differently was use an incline for ab work and chest press--otherwise i was given the go-ahead to keep everything the same, but for sure check with you Dr. and listen to your boby. At 38 weeks i needed to really slow down and from 38-42 weeks i just walked, stretched and swam 3-4 days a week.
 
Thanks ladies...gotcha...can be a growth spurt! Good to know...I won''t get my hopes up then. She''ll just have to know that I''ll have to go back to liking her a little less. Hehehe.

Pavelover if you have been doing exercises before you were preggo, I think you are OK, but ask your doc. I did pilates for 7 months before I got pregnant and continued until I was 8 months pregnant. As you may know, pilates is practically all abs/core. It really helped me endure my fatty boomba preggo body!

Tacori, I''m like you. All my friends call me second time mom in the way I do a lot of things. I don''t wash her paci all the time either. I feel like a horrible mom sometimes...but as I said before, I am a believer in germs...to a degree.
1.gif


MrsS, that is exactly why I love the miracle blanket...I don''t worry nearly as much that the blanket is going to wind up around her face. She''s been able to bust out of it a little...just her arm and one leg, but a regular blanket is bad news with her now. Definitely get it sooner than later...I hear it''s not good once they get past 3ish months since they babies are too big.
 
TGal, I agree some germs are good. Can''t have the kid live in a bubble.

Well, we just got back from the doctor for T''s 6 month check. The Vacs this time were horrible. She was SOOOOO upset. It was the most difficult doc''s visit b/c she is so much more mobile (rolling and wiggling all over the place). She is still fussy.
20.gif
But the kid is growing! Her weight is 15.4 (45% and FINALLY doubled her birth weight....3 months later than normal Haha) 25 3/4 in height (50% moving up on the charts T!) and Head is 16 3/4 (also 50% see TGal there IS hope for your little pin head). The doc said she is hitting all of her milestones (speech, movement, etc) He said solid feeding will get easier but his 8 month old is still really messy. So I guess there will be lots of bathtub feedings

I''m at work and don''t have time to read and respond to all the new posts, but I have news I have to share before I burst. I went to see the OB this morning, and my amnio results were back.

It''s a girl! And she has 23 pairs of chromosomes with no obvious defects and normal AFP levels. It is not 100% definitive, of course, but they were the best results we could have hoped for. Now I get to relax and try to enjoy the rest of this roller coaster ride.

I asked DH to go with me this morning in case the results were in. I was so relieved and happy I was actually tearing up in the parking lot after we left the doctor''s office. Now we have to pick the nursery furniture and decor.
 
Congrats Kay!!!!
 
Congratulations Kay! That''s so exciting!
 
Kay, congrats!!!!!!!!!!! Isn''t that just the best feeling? We''re having quite the girl boom here on PS....

Tacori, is doubling birthweight at 3 months normal? You said Tacori doubled 3 months late, but a 15 pounder at 3 months seems kind of big to me. My friend''s son was 17 pounds at 4 months and the doc said he was off the charts he was so big. Poor little Tessa...vaccines can''t be fun.

TGal, seems big to me but that''s what they say. She should have been 14.4lbs at 3 months. My neighbor has twins and her one is around 15 lbs at 4 months (he was 6lbs something at birth) So she is still a little girl. Shots aren''t fun at all. You''ll see soon enough

But honestly she took it the hardest this time. Maybe she knows better now. BTW if you haven''t gotten her a swimsuit baby gap has some cute ones on sale right now!
 
Congrats Kay!!
