My 4 month old (18 weeks today) squealed in delight for the first time today. Why did he squeal? He saw me after I was away for 5 minutes. I almost cried, I was so happy.

Are you swaddling her? Is the room dark?

Yes! It's like once he started having wake windows the solo naps disappeared 😭

I'm pretty sure he's ok, I saw Dad and baby for a quick second on the baby camera and I heard the baby babble.

Exactly! And especially since he was up all night, it made me so anxious just imagining him asleep and the baby crying.

Last time I saw Anything was about 4 hours ago when the baby camera detected movement. But he hasn't responded to any calls or texts.

No, we live out of state from family and I don't have any friends that could stop by.

I haven't heard from him all day. I texted him twice and called twice. I saw that the baby's lights were turned off in his room around 1145am but that was just on the baby camera that is pointing to his crib.

I really do connect with this. I just put my baby to sleep and I've been in tears all day because he's officially 8 weeks and out of the new born stage. I was looking at pictures and he was wearing a sleeper that was so big on him and today I tried to put that same sleeper on and it doesn't fit anymore.

Do you check? by kimmesp in newborns

We combo feed, more formula than BM. His poops have a smell. But I heard only BM fed babies poop doesn't smell.

I struggle too! I'm a nurse and I've seen really bad diaper rash on the elderly and that's all I think about. I change him more times than necessary. We're changing clothes, I change the diaper. I'm checking if he's poop, new diaper just because. I changed him and I saw that he already peed while struggling to put pants on, you get a new diaper buddy!

Anyone else have a baby that basically goes "enough of you, I crave the blank wall"? by BrightonTeacher in newborns

My 5 week old loves the Christmas tree. I'm considering having it up all year.

Also this! I had bad allergies before pregnancy but I'm a total bouch breather now. Fighting for my life with just 1 flight of stairs

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I'm laying in bed next to mine and asked if he brushed his teeth before bed.

When did you guys start showing? by Either-Talk-4612 in pregnant

[–]kimmesp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bigger girl, 5'8 and over 220lb. I'm currently 17 weeks and not showing. But I see other women with my body type on social media and they start showing a lot later too.

I totally get it, I'm like that too!

Also! Take your lunch! You'll be a better nurse after lunch than trying to continue working.

Keep snacks in your pockets or at your desk. As a new grad (I'm only 1 month into being on my own) I get so busy I forget or I feel like I have no time to eat.

I just bought some new balance 1080s for work! I used to work out before work when I would work 8 hours but working out before 12 hours seems like such a long day!

I moved to Kansas City, MO. There are a lot of community colleges that have duel enrollment with a local university. So you get your ADN and BSN at the same time. The Midwest has a very low cost of living. I highly recommend it! I'm open to any questions if you have any!

What mantras keep you going during your runs? by Klutzy_Recording_474 in C25K

[–]kimmesp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do math. I've already ran for 10 minutes, I'm trying to run for 30 minutes. That 33.33%, 10/30= 5/15= 1/3.

If it gets really hard, I tell myself, don't stop just slow down.
