How old is your baby this week? 4 months, 3 weeks i believe.

What's up with you emotionally & mentally this week? nothing really... happy!

What has been your biggest challenge this week? looking for an apartment! we were supposed to move into the house of the midwife who was there for leah's birth, but unfortunately she found out she has bad damage to her heart and has to quit her job to lower stress. therefore she has to sell her house. me and nick have viewed 2 apartments already this weekend and have a few more set up for this week.

Has your baby accomplished a new milestone this week? If so, what? she now rolls from back to belly! she has been doing it consistently since saturday. no belly to back rolling though!

Has your baby had any appointments or play dates? How did they go? playdates are always fun. :)

[turtleohs]

yay for rolling over! Finally! :)

[ashleyyynoel]

seriously! still waiting on the belly to back rolling though poo.

[justmadabout]

heh. I read that as 'rolling through poo' and I could totally see a baby rolling over during a nappy change ;) Although we'd probably be unlikely to change a nappy with a baby on its back...

How old is your baby this week? 5 months and 2 weeks old.

What's up with you emotionally & mentally this week? This week has been a nightmare. Alex still craves all the the attention. I can't get anything done. I have to pay attention to him 24/7. If he plays I still have to sit right next to him. I feel like my husband doesn't appriciate anything I do around the house. I ask to sleep in for one night and he gets pissed. I ask him to do the dishes once and he gets upset. Ive had enough this week.

What has been your biggest challenge this week? Alex's new attention craving. That and he refuses to nap.

Has your baby accomplished a new milestone this week? If so, what? Nope not this week.

Has your baby had any appointments or play dates? How did they go? Nope.

Random things of note? I have been getting killer head aches lately and have no clue why. Oh and the state parks here in NY are offically charging for the season. Stinks. 6 dollars just to get into the park for the day.

I've been getting headaches too, middle of the night, when I wake up, and sometimes after meals. It's REALLY annoying.

[justmadabout]

I'm sorry your husband isn't being more supportive.

[syntheticklust]

Thank you. Its just this week though. Every other week he is pretty good about everything. I think the stress with Alex is getting to both of us. I really hope this is just a phase for him.

How old is your baby this week? 4 months 2 weeks and some change.

What's up with you emotionally & mentally this week?

I'm good but a little stressed. My dad was in the emergency room Saturday night for some heart problems but is doing fine and at home now...I'm just sad I cant be closer during times like this.

I am also dealing with the stress of essentially trying to re-lactate. I decided since we found out that Efren has tongue tie I am going to try and keep my supply going so that if he gets the frenectomy done we can try to breast feed again and see if it works this time. His appointment as moved from the 29th to the 14th (tomorrow) thanks to my lactation consultant so I will update tomorrow when we find out what is next. They might perform the procedure right there! It's just hard pumping all the time again and getting nowhere with it. I can get an ounce a day and that's about it.

What has been your biggest challenge this week?Pumping again. Also Efren has been a little congested, snotty & coughing some. the coughs

[turtleohs]

Thank you! Hopefully he will not have any more problems. its scarey :(

I am hoping they do the frenectomy when we go. they say it depends on the 'maturity' of the skin as to if they will do it then. im scared even though its not major. I hate to hear him in pain.

a week sky of being 6 months old!

What's up with you emotionally & mentally this week?
eh been feeling a bit better lately. i have been trying to make myself more active and it seems to be dragging me slowly out of my depression

What has been your biggest challenge this week?
jack got a horrible rash! we switched from pampers to huggies to save a little money but it was so not worth it. thinking about how bad huggies suck makes my eye twitch all over again ugh!

Has your baby accomplished a new milestone this week? If so, what?
babbling more, grasping toys with more purpose

Has your baby had any appointments or play dates? How did they go?
not til the 22nd

recently learned how to make my own hula hoop and have been learning to hoop! its he best, most enjoyable work out i've ever had

[turtleohs]

Getting out & doing more things, although really hard for me, always helps me feel better too :)

Randomly if you go to the pampers website and sign up for their stuff you can get coupons in the mail. I get them quite often and just sent someone on here some coupons. I have one more so far for 1.50 off if you want me to send you the coupons I get let me know and I will because we dont use them.

My older daughter broke out in any other diaper besides Pampers. It made me crabby cause they are like the most expensive, but it was worth it for her little hiney. Thankfully this one seems to be able to wear Huggies. The pampers rewards thing is pretty cool. We have gotten some free pics from snapfish and a pack a free diapers by saving them. Considering the amount of diapers we go through, it's not hard to save up points!

[girllikething]

i was just pissed because not only did he get this horrible BLEEDING rash (his bum is still raw and rough), the tabs also pulled off the diapers when we would put them on him, thus wasting diapers just trying to get ONE on him, and they didnt fit him! even though he is well under the weight they are for, they were skin tight!!! i had to change them every hour because he would soak through :(

we <3 our pampers but decided maybe we will try cloth next time, though i dunno. im a high stress individual and cloth just seems like it would cause me more stress than it would help

We are moving...the movers are at the old apartment and my husband is there supervising there. I am with the cat at the new place. The baby is with my husband's parents.

I have a migraine.

The past week has been really hard. I don't have the emotional energy to go into it, but I'm really struggling right now.

Staying with my in-laws this past week while the apt was being packed
