Ladies I just want to say that I think ALL your babies are just BEAUTIFUL! I also wanted to say even though I am not a new mom again we are still trying and to see a thread dedicated to those with little miracles is really great for us still waiting. It gives hope and puts a smile on my face to read the milestones of all your little ones. Again, great thread idea it will be so neat to read about all your little ones growing up! Congratulations to all of you!

Hello ladies all of the babies are so adorable and it's great to hear all of the different things they are doing already. Let's me know when to look for those things with my little one. Here is another cute little picture of my little man.

Jenn, this lappy thing on my belly is a prime example of a plastic surgery need.... ewww, I it's gross. I need a shaper to wear under pants or skirts... anyone know of a good one that wont leave more of dunlap?
Also, Jenn, DH got me the fenugreek capsules from GNC.... they seem to be working much better than the liquid, my boobs are HUGE!!
Michelle - a bit of the baby blues, especially with two and especially as you get closer to having to go back to work - is totally normal. As for the body issues, heck, I'm still dealing w/ the pregnancy body left over after having my 13 year old! Seriously, Lydia Grace will by 7 months old on the 9th and I'm still working on getting my body back and that's after losing all the baby weight plus 20 pounds. There are things like extra skin and stomach muscles that will need plastic surgery to fix.
Kelli - the trio are looking and sounding great! Honestly, I'm amazed that you have the time/energy/strength to even type an update!

OMG, Kel, I can not believe how big they are! They are sooo adorable! I know you have your hands full.. I only have two and can not imagine having one more.. how did you manage when they were around 8 weeks and wanted to be held?
Did yours go through that phase of wanting to be held constantly and if so, what can you do? Sometimes when they are both fussy at the same time, I am a bit overwhelmed with how to make them happy... any thoughts?
Everyone is rolling all over the place. Madison is crawling backwards and Logan and 1 tooth completely through and the corner of another one. They go to bed aroun 7:30-8pm and sleep till 8am! They are now in the big car seats since they were getting to big for the infant seats.

Jenn, what a great thread... I agree that since I've had teh babies, I am leery to post too much on my old thread, as I dont want to upset anyone. but I miss chatting with friends.. This is a great thread, we can offer each other support here with our new babies. Jake and Annabelle are 8 weeks old today, I can not believe it. I only have a week and a half at home with them.. I am so sad. I go back to work Aug 18, but we may have found an answer.. we are meeting a lady who should be able to come into our home and help out. For now, my husband works MWF one week and T TH the next at home. I got the ok from work to work from home Th and F, so we are trying to have someone come into the house from about 10-3 when my older girls get home, and are gonna have to suck it up and pay someone for full days one or two days a week. So, although we will be financially strapped, I will be in the home with the babies four days a week, and DH should be able to be home (at least in the same house) with them one or two days... I love these babies so much.. they are starting to stay awake a bit more, and Annabelle LOVES to be held. My MIL is coming in next weekend to watch the babies for three weeks (staying with us) when I go back to work, so she might have a hard time for the first few days.. They have their check up and shots next week, I am not looking forward to both babies getting shots.. OUCH! So, now that we are here.. anyone else feel a bit of baby blues? I am starting to really hate the fact that my body is so gross (TWIN SKIN!) I had to buy clothes two sizes bigger than I am used to. Anyone else still struggling with this?

Crecia - those are some pretty amazing cheeks! What do you feed him
Andie - I love the name Major - it is so sweet! As for pictures - here is what I posted a day or so ago. If that doesn't get it for you feel free to email me at jennifer*wildsky.com and I'll give you a more detailed explination.
"lilypie.com makes putting together the tickers VERY easy and saves them in an account so you can go back and edit them. I try to update her picture every few weeks. Posting pictures is also pretty easy. I upload mine to photobucket.com and then post the link into my thread/message reply. HTH!"
Lydia Grace slept for 13 hours last night with only one feeding at 530 this morning! I was amazed. I think it was because she didn't nap much at daycare. I can't believe she slept so much and was a little bummed that she crashed before we got to play or do her bath. She ended up sleeping in her regular clothes.

Thank you Tanya I have never seen any pictures of your daughter have you ever posted any. Also I see my son and your daughter were born a day apart. My son was born 3/12/08. My DH is so happy to have a child. He love all the kids but we are going to try for a daughter. I love all my boys but it would be nice to have at least one female in the house with me it sometimes get lonely.

I'm in! Major is almost 9 months old and just as sweet as can be. I am still nursing him as he will not accept a bottle. He also hates sippy cups but will drink from a regular cup - imagine! He kind of crawls but is way more interested in standing up. Not sure about height and weight - he must be around 18 pounds but close to 29 inches - long and lean! He has his bottom two teeth and is cutting the top two - lots of milestones and accomplishments and the time is flying too quickly! We aren't having any more kids - DH got a vasectomy. I am a recurrent miscarrier with antibody issues. When pregnant I had to do daily injections of a blood thinner. Plus my dr said if we had another baby, he'd have to cut me up and down for my csection instead of side to side - no thank you! I have never figured out how to post pics on here - if someone can tell me how to actually get them into my post or will post them for me let me know! LOL

Yeah Tanya my lil man sleeps through the night also. He wakes up to eat once but he goes right back to sleep after he eats. He also falls to sleep about 9 or 10 every night also.

crecia - I'm tech-challenged too..I don't even know how to post pictures on this site!
Carly is sleeping through the night - she usually falls asleep between 9-10 and sleeps until 8AM! I'm actually getting plenty of sleep with a 3 month old, GO FIGURE! She's eating ALOT..so much I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't give her some cereal or something. I usually follow the "rules" but I swear this lady is hungry 24/7.
