she has enough hair for lil piggy tails what did you guys name her?
We're calling her Baby J on here. I'm convinced she's named after me.she has enough hair for lil piggy tails what did you guys name her?
I'm not a mom so no firsthand experience, but it's a lot! It's a lot with the bonus of a crazy, emotional year. You'll get into a groove with her. Be easy on yourself.And I keep crying today. I assume it's hormonal, but I'm just so overwhelmed as well. I've never been good with change.
Too bad there's something called covid 19 out and about.Maybe you could have a Lari day. Mani, Pedi, eyebrow wax, etc. and a huge fattening lunch!
Have you thought about pumping milk and putting it in bottles so your husband can feed her as well?
Almost, but not quite. Maybe in a few months. And I'm just putting J publicly here since anyone can see this and there aren't any friend filters like on facebook.she has enough hair for lil piggy tails what did you guys name her?
My husband has been amazing so far with holding her and giving me little breaks. I can't complain.You’ll be able to pump and let DH help soon. It so often feels like everything is put on you when you just did the hard work of getting them here! I had to learn to tell DH what I needed. And not “prove myself”. I don’t know who I was trying to impress. Myself? It was probably my own insecurities talking. One thing that helped was him taking the monitor when he got up in the morning. I got a couple hours of sleep without worrying about them needing me. Saturdays I got to sleep more too. Once she starts spacing out her eating you can do dream feeds and things to help. I always struggled to get to sleep when I knew I was going to be up again in such a short time. I promise it gets better!
Oh, God, I forgot about it for a second!!!Too bad there's something called covid 19 out and about.
Does he have time off work to stay with you? DH was ready to go back to work like a week after DD was born. I really like the idea of companies giving paternal leave too. I could have used more help!My husband has been amazing so far with holding her and giving me little breaks. I can't complain.
He's taking the next week off, so it'll have been about two total since my water broke. He is working from home for the time being so he won't be able to take her for hours, but he'll be around.Does he have time off work to stay with you?

Thank you so much! I really was hoping, and afraid to hope for a girl, and the people in RL who were convinced it was a boy were very convinced of it. When the midwife placed her on my chest I remember asking "So is it a boy?" and the one who was on call wasn't the one I'd seen the most so must not have realized I was Team Green and was all "Oh, you don't know? No, it's a girl!" and it was such a rush. I just looked at my husband and was all "It's a girl..."Im late in saying this, but congratulations!!!!! A little girl, what an incredible blessing. I love all my nieces and nephews equally. But girls are more fun because you get to buy such beautiful outfits. And you get to relive your childhood through them. I play dolls with my nieces. Reminds me of my childhood love of barbie. lol
I helped raise my niece and she would wear fancy disney princess dresses every single day. I dont care if we stayed home. I dont care if we went to a park, she wore her princess dress. P.S. i didnt force her, she loved the dresses. lol
Anyway, the point i am making is that you have a lot of wonderful memories coming your way.
I'm so glad you said this, I was hoping you would wait until Bebe was born and be surprised but I was afraid to say it. I also waited and it was the best decision for me. Regarding the ruffles and bows, don't worry, there's plenty of time, she won't know the difference.I have absolutely no regrets waiting to find out even though I'm not properly prepared with ruffles and bows at this time.
I think I'll have to try several on her first to make a decision! I'm not sure about the super giant bigger than the head bows, but some fancy ones for special occasions should be more than minimal.Are you team big bow or team little to no bows?
At first DD's head was too little and then our big head genetics took over and no bows fit. Till I could clip them in her hair. We have a box full of those in all kinds of sizes that I can't part with.
And after all that, my husband never looked in the envelope! We opened it on New Year's Eve (it was right, btw).I'm so glad you said this, I was hoping you would wait until Bebe was born and be surprised but I was afraid to say it.

Its funny, everyone has their own methods to predict the gender of the baby. Supposedly how you carry the baby either high or low can be a predictor. Not sure if any of that is true. But it sounds fun to wait to learn the gender.Thank you so much! I really was hoping, and afraid to hope for a girl, and the people in RL who were convinced it was a boy were very convinced of it.

I think I would have been the same way though if she had been a boy. With the emotion. I have absolutely no regrets waiting to find out even though I'm not properly prepared with ruffles and bows at this time.
