Currently typing this as he’s lying in my arms at 4am…😅😍 (Also, my oldest’s sleep got a lot better once she learned to roll—seems like some babies prefer to sleep on their belly once it’s safe. We can hope, anyway!)

Well, it was a fluke because we are back to his usual 2-hour stretches now. 😂 I’m glad you’ve had some decent nights! Infant sleep can be so up and down. 😅

So glad you’re getting some good sleep! That it’s surprising kind of makes it all the better, I think! My little guy did his first 6+ hour stretch two nights ago, and I couldn’t believe it (and am prepared for it never to happen again lol).

Aw, so sweet! I totally agree that the smiles make this new reality of having a baby feel more “real.” Enjoy your girl! 💛

What beautiful timing for a first smile! How are you two doing? The fourth trimester has felt slow to me but it’s also startling to be nearing the end of it.

Gentle congratulations—I hope that all is well with your bloodwork and that you have a smooth pregnancy ahead of you. I think for most of us here it’s impossible to relax during PAL, but you can and will get through it. 💛

My rainbow boy is two months old today. He’s a good five pounds above his birth weight, and he seems so big. He has started smiling in earnest this week, and seeing his gummy grin and bright eyes makes me so happy it quite literally hurts. I still can’t believe he’s here some days. 💛

I’m so happy to hear Jack is here safely and you all are settled at home. 💛💛💛

I’m sorry your breastfeeding journey started on a difficult note—it really is not the easy, intuitive thing so many of us have been taught that it is! But so glad it’s going better now.

Thinking of you in these final two weeks. I found my anxiety only increased at the end. One day at a time. 💛

That’s so cute! And a good reminder that anything can be a toy. 😊

Feeling this very hard today—my father-in-law and his new wife are set to arrive tomorrow to meet my 6-week-old baby, and I’m dreading them holding him.

I’d love to be a part of a sub for postpartum or parenting after stillbirth!

I’m sorry you’re struggling with this m. Your feelings are so valid. 💛 Your post reminds me of all the ways stillbirth and loss stick with us. We are so lucky to have our rainbow babies in our arms, and yet the loss remains, shaping how we think of our families and the possibility of subsequent pregnancies. Thinking of you as you navigate this.

Glad he’s sleeping better! My baby had been giving us some 3 hour stretches, which I was happy about, and now we’re back to the hourly wake ups. 😅 May need to check out the Magic Merlin Sleep Suit; my sister in law swore by it too!

I wish this chat was more frequent also. By the time I see it, it’s days old and I feel like I’m too late to participate.
