Little Olivia will be one month old tomorrow. (And my birthday was on the 14th!) She wasn't supposed to be born for another 3 weeks. She's doing very well despite her cleft palate. She's now up to 5 lbs 1.4 oz. (Birth weight was 3 lbs 9 oz) she had an eye appointment today because she has Sticklers Syndrome. Her retinas look great, but she is for sure near-sighted and will need glasses.
We are getting used to being parents, she's been home with us less than 2 weeks. We finally feel like actual parents instead of visitors. I started to get PPD symptoms, had my anxiety medication reevaluated. Some days are still tough. My husband is taking his parental leave now, it helps to have him here. He's so great with her. And also doesn't forget me either!
Things are going great!
Happy late birthday and it's so great your little angel is home with you now
I hate my generation sometimes ?
Today was my nieces baby shower, which went great. She got so much which amazing since she's been working 2 jobs trying to save up for the unpaid leave she'll have to take from work. Anyways I was talking to one of the ladies there since my son and her daughter were playing together. I asked her what her daughters name was, she said it was Layla. I told her that's a really pretty name and asked her if she was a Clapton fan and if she was named after the song. Th...
Opinions on hungrier baby milk? My girl is drinking well over 30 oz in 24 hours. I tried her with water inbetween feeds but she just won't settle in till she has milk as she's hungry not thirsty. She's awake like 18 hours a day 😭

She's here! Little Arwyn LaRue. All 8 lbs 11 oz of her. She's a good size baby for me. No wonder my hips were so sore all the time ?

Ladies please join me in wishing our very own Joanne a very happy and special birthday. She's a great support to a lot of us on here, and is always on hand to advise, cheer us up, or let us cry on her shoulder if we need to.

This girl pisses me off!!!!! Her whole life she has lived off free school lunches, her parents had Medicare, and they used WIC. And 2 months ago she married my wealthy cousin, and now she thinks she can bash people who use government help???
@eryka616 Thank you! She was in the NICU for 3 weeks exactly. We were told maybe up to 5 weeks.
