We won't be doing a baptism for either kid, but is anyone else thinking along the lines of wills??
Also, congrats on two little guys! I was totally sure it was a girl because of your different symptoms, but it just goes to show you that it is each pregnancy that is different - not just different if the sex is different!
I have two dresses done for WDW!!!
Are you on the disboutiquers thread, I am pretty sure you are not, but you SHOULD BE! I'd love to see you over there:
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2420330 Your dresses are GORGEOUS! I cannot wait to get a trip planned and start making Isabel some cute stuff!
What is everyone doing for Easter Baskets (if you are doing one)? I found some cute chalk in the shape of eggs and bunnies, some Buzz and Woody fruit snacks, 1st golfers club set, and some coloring books. LO will get Puffs, socks, and a new mirror toy. He can't get enough of himself.
I wound up at the drs today with mastitis... again. I hope it goes away fast this time.
First - sorry about the mastitis! Hope you get better ASAP! (((HUGS)))
I got Isabel a cute basket from Target that could later be used to store things in her room - no bunnies or eggs on it, just butterflies. Since she will get to start baby food in a couple weeks I bought bowls, spoons and baby food to put in it, I also got some eggs (no need for candy) and I did get her a small chocolate bunny - I figure it could be a tradition, but DH will probably end up eating it
I want to get her sippy cups too, but those will not fit in the basket.
Today I've had this totally weird decrease in my pumping output. Hopefully I'm just not drinking enough water. I have started to diet, but I haven't done anything drastic at all!
That happened to me Tuesday and Wednesday morning (we do one bottle a day usually, DH feeds her at the 5/6 am feeding and I pump). I usually get 8-9 ounces, and I was only getting 6 or less those two mornings. I made an effort to drink more yesterday (carried water with me everywhere and actually drank it) and today I was back up to my usual 9 ounces!
These babies have been near killing me with night waking. Katie's all backward. Days are for playing & learning. Nights she wants to take in a bunch of her calories. What would/should be the last feeding is around 8/9 PM. Katies been getting up again at around 11/12, again at 1/2 and finally at 4/5. Plus Dylan will get up to nurse once in there. Its brutal.
hope ut gets bette, and soon!
Can anyone tell me what the initial WIC appointment is like? This crazy formula that they put Luca on for his lactose intolerance is $160/case and insurance doesn't cover it. Wic covers it (thank goodness) and luckily we qualify right now.
They verify income, ask for birth stats (height, weight, etc) and current ones. Then I had to do a mini-class (video) explaining how you should feed baby, then the nutritionist asked if I was BFing full time or what and then I was back out picking up my checks. Pretty simple.
I don't think I'm going to be able to get my tubes tied though. I'll admit to some disappointment when I saw the boy bits. I just don't think I can put off the possibility of trying for a little girl in a few years. We'll see, but I think I'm going to just get Mirena until I can be positive about the decision.
Wow, Elliott was set to impress! That is so awesome! He's going to be moving everywhere soon and you're going to have to watch out!
I think something non- permanent like Mirena is a good idea. I think with babies it is normal to be a little sad about noe having the other - I really wanted a girl, but thought isabel was a boy at first and when thy said she was a she, I was a little sad I didn't have my boy I had been envisioning. Though I was still thrilled.
Hi ladies,
I guess it's time to join this thread.
Our newest daughter Oksana Iryna was born on March 18th. I can't believe she will be two weeks old tomorrow!
Unlike my other kids this one sleeps on a schedule and is gaining weight on schedule. It's so nice not to have those additional worries.
WELCOME!
Elliott had his first day at the sitter yesterday. He was happy when I left, happy when I picked him up, and slept from 9 last night until 4:15 this morning!!
So happy to hear it went well!! And yeay on sleeping!
Ditto!
Lily has a cold. She was up every 2 hours last night. It sounds terrible, but it really wasn't that bad. I got up and walked with her for like 2 minutes and then she would settle down with me again. I think she would wake, have a little trouble breathing through her stuffy nose and panic. She's woke up happy and smiley though. DH told me I should just stay home since we were up so much, but I told him, No way! He gets to 'work' today (he's off for spring break) cuz I'd rather go to work where I do WAY less work than what I do at home!
She is soooo clingy right now. It's driving me nuts.
Hope she gets better soon so you can sleep - and I totally understand home being a tougher job. I'm jealous sometimes that DH goes to work! Though I love being home with Isabel some non-mommy/cleaning/cooking time would be awesome!
Good for us, bad for Wic. 
My husband hasnt had a raise on two years. GAH! But he is back to working some over time, so I hope raises are next.
If I have to wait much longer, I'm going to get really, really fat.
