Thank you ladies for the b-day wishes!! I had a great time!! We went to a really nice French restaurant and enjoyed our time together without having to worry about anything!! These days I'm just happy to have a hot meal!!!

Heather-That is so sweet that your RE sent you a gift. Wow!!!

Keri-I spray too!! It is usually when my breasts get really full.

Christina-How is the packing going??

I took Layla in for her two-month appt yesterday. I felt so bad for her. She had to get 3 injections and an oral rotavirus injection. Dh was next to her while I sat on the chair and couldn't look

It breaks my heart when I see them in pain like that plus I didn't want her to look up at me and think that I had anything to do with it!!!
She weighs 11lbs 6oz!!! The doctor was very pleased with her growth. Also, when the doctor put her on her belly she couldn't believe how strong she was. She can hold her head up really well and lift her upper body up. She is also getting ready to roll over. She is a really strong baby!!!

krb · 08-04-2009, 08:27 AM

Heather - how nice of your RE to send a gift. That is really touching. You should send her a picture of Leah.

hkbuck · 08-04-2009, 09:27 AM

Jen - I feel your pain. Leah had her 2 month appt. this morning. We ended up doing all of the recommended vaccines instead of splitting them up. Our pedi sat and discussed all of my concerns and I felt comfortable after that doing them all. They started with the oral rotavirus and she was doing well...you could tell she didn't like it but she kept taking it in. She was almost done when she made this funny face and sudenly puked all over the place. It was awful....all 6 ounces of formula that she had just eaten came out through her mouth and NOSE!!!! I freaked out and started crying right along with Leah. I still can't get the picture out of my head. I can't believe it came out her nose...I felt just awful! They have to try next time to give it to her again...wonderful. Then she had her injections...DH sat by her side and talked to her while I looked out the window and cried. I might have been ok if she hadn't had the throwing up episode but I just felt so bad after that. Ugh...I hate vaccines! DH is going to have to come to every appt.!

krb - I sent my RE pics over e-mail. I'm going to bring her in to meet her in the next few weeks.

Awwww Heather!!! I know how you feel it is just awful!!! I cried too. Layla wouldn't STOP crying....she wouldn't even nurse after. Poor Leah has to do that yucky rotavirus again : ( I feel the same as you...I just get the vaccines over with. I am NOT looking forward to the 4 month vaccines and HAVE to take dh with me too.

cupcakes · 08-04-2009, 10:11 AM

Heather-How much does Leah weigh? Our girls are 1 day apart so I was just wondering.

hkbuck · 08-04-2009, 10:17 AM

She weighs 10 pounds 9 ounces and is 24 inches long so Layla weighs a little more than her. How long is Layla?

LemonadeGlugger · 08-04-2009, 12:32 PM

my breasts never spray.. it doesn't have to do with how much milk you have bc i am definately a high volume milk producer yet i never leak/spray. it has to do with your letdown and how strong it is. i heard that babies love the spray and gulp it down? i guess when theyr'e a bit bigger.

heather, my kids are 13w but if we adjust them to gestational age they're the same age as leah. therefore, i like to compare my kids to yours

they are 23" long as of 2 weeks ago, and were 10lb. on thursday we are going for another weight check and we'll see what they are. yitzy is eating 100ml-110ml every 3-4 hours, and chana gitty eats 75-80ml every 2-3 hours. she is still suffering from the reflux so its hard to get her to eat more then that.

hkbuck · 08-04-2009, 12:45 PM

Diet - It seems like they're right on track. My pedi said she's in the 90th percentile for length and the 50th percentile for weight...I have to work on getting her to eat more!
