What award would you win compared to the others here?

[Murph12334]

Biggest baby?
Smallest baby?
Longest labor?
Shortest labor?
Most kids?
Longest baby?
Shortest baby?
Biggest head?

etc..

I think i win for longest time without a shower, but I'm not going to fight anyone for that honor! Nor will I say how long it's been!

It doesn't have to be biggest or smallest, etc, can be anything. Nominate yourself or others for their award!

< 2nd most likely to regret this decision.

There's probably a more clear winner, here, and maybe I'm just having a bad night... but, I question this decision daily. And it was very intentional. Adjusting is fine and the love is there, I'm just not sure I'm happy with the adjustment.

[IncaMama]

um, i dunno...biggest boobs? (me, not Riley LMAO)

funniest looking feet? (Riley, not me) i don't have pics uploaded yet but this girl's got monkey feet. they curl in an unnatural way...and her big toes look like her daddy's (that's not a compliment) and are ginormous and have obviously large knuckles.

but really, i love her and she's precious. LMFAO!!

i gotta admit, i feel incredibly well rested so maybe - just maybe - i've got the best sleeper??? MAYBE?? i sure as h#ll deserve it because of all the CRAP i put up with with the first two!! LOL

: do you think you may be experiencing a bit of PPD? could you speak with your mw/ob's about resources in your area?

[nancy11]

nah, it's not ppd.

My big issue has always been 'life after baby' and I still have worries and doubts around that. Mostly because I'm tired and feel tied to this recliner. It will help to play softball tonight. I need more "me" activities.

on that note, I would probably win for baby with the least amount of hair!

[racie0417]

Hmmmm....

Maybe least amount of help with husband that works the most?

LO should win for most efficient nurser. My ODS used to nurse for 60-90 minutes at this age, and would start again within 30-45 minutes of stopping. This LO often only nurses for 5-10 minutes, and only every 2-3 hours. I almost don't know what to do with him when I am not nursing.

it does get better after baby grows some. I forgot that feeling until i had another babe, then I'm not remembering the tied down feeling again.

[Sarah_Lee]

Youngest mama to have been breastfeeding 7 years straight,
Maybe I'm not but some times it feels like it, I am 23.

[fairymom]

mom w/the most dc here. 6!

LO-winner of the chamleon hair color award. sometimes its dark brown or blonde or auburn or just plain brown- it can't decide what color it is.

Or maybe longest/biggest hands and feet- I know for sure in this family (as a newborn) his are the longest!

Just measured- feet (from heal to tippy toe) 3 1/2 inchs. Hands- (from palm to middle finger point) 3 inchs. He takes after his dad on this- Dh's hands are huge!

[claras_mom]

Oldest mom, I'm pretty sure. 44 (almost 45).

[bodhitree]

I get shortest labor--my scheduled c/s involved no labor at all (which I'm still a little sad about, but whatever).

My poor kiddo deserves some kind of award for bad luck: breech, double nuchal cord, heart defect, hip dysplasia. I keep telling her she's getting all her bad luck over with as a baby so later on only good things will happen to her. :

[MelW]

I might have the shortest active labour for a vaginal birth. I think it was an hour- I'm planning to "fact check" with my midwife today.

Earliest to DTD postpartum?

I think we tie for the bad luck award! Were HOPING that shes getting all of her "drama" out now and that shell be a quiet, easy-going kid.

I hear that. My tailbone is aching and I may have developed a pp hemorrhoid due to so many hours in that threadbare glider.

Maybe tying for the la leche loca award; my milk comes out like a tsunami.

Wow! How did you do that? Were your others that small too?

Totally! Sophia and River tie for that one. I really wish no babies were candidates for the bad luck award.

[racie0417]

I thought of another one....

fastest weight gainer award....

LO was born 7 pounds 5 ounces on April 6th. On the morning of the 8th, he weight 6 pounds 8 ounces. My milk came in that day and the NEXT morning, he was 6 pounds 15 ounces!!!!!!!!!!!!: He gained 10 ounces a week for the first month too.
