It seems that the babies have arrived!

stay tuned

Can I suggest that whoever starts the 'Life With Babe' thread keep a roll call and maybe lnks to pictures? There were so many September mamas and I admit I have lost track of who goes with who.

I love awake baby time!

We're in the 3-4 hour stretch of Tristan being awake, alert and content and I love it! I get to have breakfast and take a shower, he sits in his Baby Björn bouncer/sitter and looks at everything and chirps.



ps could someone define 'aplix' for me?

Why hasn't anybody invented a nursing bra with velcro opening???

Why don't babies have LCD readouts on their forehead that tell you whether this screaming fit is due to gas or overtiredness?

Happy Weekend!!!

Anna, so good to hear your rash is doing better and the breast shields are gone!

So is anyone else's baby a flatulant little thing? Nessa can seriously compete in an adult farting competition. It doesn't seem to be all that bothersome to her, so I'm wondering if other babies are the same?

Also, can anyone give me instructions on how to loosen boogers with saline? It is ultra dry here and Nessa gets boogery at times, they are too dry to suction and I've heard you can loosen them with saline, but I have no idea how... I don't want to choke her. Any experienced booger looseners here?

Well, I hope the skies are just as sunny and blue for you all today, it is gorgeous here, going to a bbq.....

that's cool! although it doesn't look like it would have enough support for me as day-wear. maybe for house-wear.

sheryl, use breastmilk instead of saline. works as well plus antibacterial! I just squirt 'em in the nose. ; )

Here are some pictures of my guys: http://share.shutterfly.com/osi.jsp?i=EeBs27Fw3ZP_A

We went on a big outing to a pumpkin patch today and I had the unfortunate experience of bleeding so much that it leaked onto my pants Anyway, my husband is concerned and I can't remember how long the bleeding lasts. Generally it is a lot lighter, but it must have been all the walking/ baby carrying. Am I wrong not to be too concerned?

personally, i wouldn't be very concerned, but would tell worried dh that this meant i needed to take the rest of the weekend very easy indeed.

i've pretty much stopped bleeding, myself. (but i had my baby 3 weeks before you had yours.) i still am leaking a touch of reddish brown fluid, but i'm so sick of pads that i'm just letting it stain my underwear. if i had any "panty liners" i'd probably use them, though.

Sheryl! You are cracking me up here!!! Ha ha ha..... "Booger looseners"????

Yes, Mielle is also a monster farter, we were in the tub together earlier today and Jerome had to ask which one of us had just let one rip! i was afraid she was about to poop in the tub!

Well Mielle has woken up and is now trying to eat my arm.. i guess i better go nurse her instead of playing online!!
Love to all

also wouldn't worry about the bleeding, but would also tell dh you need to take it easy, and you should. not that i'm following my own advice... started bleeding, just a bit but fresh blood, after cleaning today, despite not bleeding for a few days. dh has done virtually NO cleaning in the last 5+ weeks since Reid was born, and i can't stand it, and have overdone it.

and yup! reid is a larger than life farter, too!

I'm still waiting for my baby. I was due on the 29th. It has been very stressful dealing with the birth center's deadline (they toss me out if I'm not in labor by 12 a.m. Wednesday) and strangers' tactless and meshuggeneh comments; I've been told everything from how I'll have to have surgery to get out what they assume must be an enormous baby, to "the baby will die in there from being overcooked."

My midwife saw us this morning and thinks she'll see me again this weekend. I hope so.
