Went to the midwife yesterday, she said everything was fine and I had a "good" baby. She was being silly. The heart rate is good, the head is down, the size seems about right. The gestational diabetes is under control with diet and exercise, although I did have a few blips over my birthday weekend. Looks like things are settling back down. I also ( Read more... )

I forgot to mention it with all that's been going on with Aiko, but we finished weaning Jimmy shortly before preschool. We told him mommy milk was running out and going away, and just started skipping nursings (he was just down to 3 a day: bedtime, naptime, first thing in am), starting with the naptime nursing, since he liked it best. Now it ( Read more... )

Jimmy is definitely having another growth spurt. He is eating like a nut, tons of food, and wanting more at times he doesnt normally eat. He's been very active of late as well.

Wow, the happy birthday wishes on facebook just keep coming! Thanks for thinking of me everyone!!! Although a couple of people couldn't make it, for various legitimate reasons, I still had a nice birthday dinner! Michelle, her husband Jason, and their daughter Lilly came over for dinner and cupcakes. It was a nice, low-key way to spend a ( Read more... )

We had the 2 week visit last week, and the little man is doing fine. He's been quite fussy, and the doctor said it was because he was having a growth spurt, and you can really tell it! He's grown an inch since birth, and he's gotten quite chubby, which he wasn't before. The worst part is he isn't sleeping as good as he used to, he's gotten ( Read more... )
