Borrowed from Jan Preg Board....Let's Update!

How old is/are your baby(ies)? 5w today! Where did Dec go?

How much do they weigh now? 10lbs7oz!

How is sleeping part? He sleeps better in the day, but just started staying awake longer, but we wake up at least every 2-3 hours at night to feed. I don't know if this is good or bad, I just feed him on demand, tried the schedule thing and that went out the window on day 1 at home, along with breastfeeding!

How much pregnancy weight have you lost? Believe it or not, I weighed 175 before and I weighed 220 the day before delivery, on the 3rd day at home I was down to 180, now I am back at 173! I guess I was all baby!

Anyone planning on going back to work yet? My 6 weeks is up next week, so yeah, it s**ks!! But at least my brother's GF will watch him for a little while at my home until he gets older...but I want to be with him!!

Any issues yet with you or baby? He has been DX with GERD, and a change of formula and meds has helped, but he is growing too fast! Overnight he changes!

Anything Else?

Cindy

How old is/are your baby(ies)?
6 days (jan 3rd)

How much do they weigh now?
born: 7.14 & 5 days old 8.3!

How is sleeping part?
Well, at only 6 days old, that's all he really does. He was up for an hour straight today, I think that's a record! He nurses about every 2-3 hours during the day and 4 hours at night.

How much pregnancy weight have you lost?
ugh, sore subject for me. LOL! 6 days in and I've lost 16lbs. 30 more to go to get to pre-preg weight and 40 to get to my pre-preg weight before having kids - that's my goal! I start working with the trainer in February 3x/week. I'm in a wedding in June and I'm dreading having to squeeze into my dress.

Anyone planning on going back to work yet?
I'm on maternity leave for about 21 months - until September 2010.

Any issues yet with you or baby?
He's on a script for his eye - goopy and bloodshot. My ped doesn't think he needs it so I stopped for 2 days and it went yucky again so I started it back up.

Anything Else?
Evan's sisters are in love with him . . . life is just perfect!

How old is/are your baby(ies)? 2w and 6 days

How much do they weigh now? 7lbs 6oz

How is sleeping part? Sleeps more in the day and cranky and hungrier at night. We feed him at 12am, 3:30am and 6:30am which isn't that bad because we do get to sleep. My dh takes the shift when he gets home around 3-5pm until 12am then it's all on me since I'm off for 3 months and hubby works.

How much pregnancy weight have you lost? 20 lbs. Yahoo!!

Anyone planning on going back to work yet? I'm off until 3/23 so not yet-thank God.

Any issues yet with you or baby? He had jaundice issues but thank God they have resolved itself.

Anything Else? Yes I'm in love with my son and fallen in love with hubby all over again! :-)

How old is/are your baby(ies)? Morgan was 1 month old yesterday (1/22)
How much do they weigh now? 8 lbs 13 oz.

How is sleeping part? Great! Her big sister has always been a great sleeper, so we were hopeful- and we lucked out. Morgan was sleeping 7 hours/night at 2 weeks, now usually about 8-9 hours/night!!

How much pregnancy weight have you lost? Well, I was 7 lbs less the day of my induction that I was when I got pregnant. I am 30 pounds below pre-pregnancy weight.

Anyone planning on going back to work yet? Plan was to return to work full-time March 23rd, but dh's position was eliminated this week, so I will likely return to work 2/9 (yuck). Can't live on NO income!

Any issues yet with you or baby? Nope.

Anything Else? Nope.

3 weeks old today! (January 5th!)

How much do they weigh now?
birth: 7lbs 1.4oz 2wk checkup: 7lbz 4oz

How is sleeping part?
Sleep... can I get the definition? Can you use that in a sentence? LOL No really, smetimes she sleeps for 6 hours at night, some nights only 2-3 hrs at a time. last night she slept for 5 hours! woo!

How much pregnancy weight have you lost?
at the time of my IVF i was 186lbs. When i was released to my OB i was down to 176lbs so they say that is my pre pregnancy weight.. i got up to 194lbs i think at the end.. and at Bella's 2wk checkup i weighed myself on their scale and i was down to 184lbs.


Anyone planning on going back to work yet?
I am not planning on going back to work. We are going to try to make it on just one income for as long as possible.

Any issues yet with you or baby?
nothing too horrible. I had a clogged duct on one side which was more irritating than anything else. its almost gone now.


Anything Else?
Maybe I'm Biased, but I think my little girl is the most perfect, beautiful princess ever! <3
