Hi Everyone,
Glad to see everyone is doing well!  Franky is 8 weeks old this week and getting cuter by the day.  He has his 2 month check up next week and he is weighing about 12 lbs outgrew all of his newborn clothes/diapers.  I don't have PPD, but he has colic so it gets upsetting to see him upset and when he is happy I feel like it is christmas.  He is smiling/giggling, and such a strong little guy.  I have lost mostly all of the 37 lbs I gained except for 8lbs.  Since I had a csection I just started taking the baby walking last week which he loves.  I may be going to back to work part time soon, but may wait until after the 1st of the year it's undecided =)

Hi ladies. Sorry I havent been posting I am finding it hard to find the time with the 2 kids. We are all doing well minus the pure exhaustion of a newborn and toddler(My day usually starts around 5:30 and ends at 11 plus the 2-3am feeding. Aside from that we are settling in to a routine. I lost all my baby weight and am 2lb lighter than I was before I got pregnant. I am breastfeeding and that seems to be going well although she is not as big a feeder as my son was.  
Hope you are all doing well.

Oh I forgot to add in my post that when he was last weighed he was 6 weeks old. He was 6 lbs 5 ozs at 2 weeks.

I"m doing pretty well... My son Tristan will be 2 months tomorrow (the 14th). When he was last weighed, he was 10 lbs 6 ozs. 21 5/8" long. He's doing pretty well for being born at 36 weeks, weighing 5lbs 14 ozs! He's finally learning to smile, and he's awake more during the day. So far, he's reaching his milestones on target. He's still up and eating every 3 hours, even at night. Once in awhile, he'll go 5 hours. I'm beginning to wonder when he'll slow down on eating or at least go longer stretches! He is a very demanding baby who knows what he wants and he'll cry until he gets it. :-/ Thankfully, he doesn't like to be held all the time.. And, he'll sleep in his crib!
As for myself. I'm good.. no depression.. I'm back at work FT and have been for a cpl weeks now. I actually got bored staying home and actually wanted to go back (and I hate my job!). I too, am waiting for AF to come on. I pumped for 5 weeks, but I've stopped about 3 weeks ago now. Still no AF.

Glad to hear everyone is doing good..

Lisa

Hi! When you get your first period depends on a lot of factors. If you are breastfeeding, you may not get a period until you stop. If you aren't, you will probably get one very soon.

Sarah is doing well- already 6wks old- time flies.  She eats every 2-3 hrs during the day and gets up about 2x/night.  Hoping for a change in the nightime feedings soon(before I go back to work hopefully).  She is gaining weight nicely and starting to smile.  My older children love her(except when she cries).  I also have problems with PPD- taking Zoloft as well.  My husband is out of town for a week- so I've had more issues with the depression right now- being by myself with all 4 and not much sleep.  She's a good baby though and I do enjoy her.

I am having some PPD but I'm already on 100 mg. of zoloft so it's not as bad as with the other kids. My hubby thinks he's doing me a favor by taking the older kids someplace and leaving me home alone with the baby. A better favor would be staying with the baby while I took the older kids out. It would have to be a short trip though since I'm breastfeeding and not able to pump very much.

Things are going well for Liam and I. He is a natural at breastfeeding (LOL) and he sleeps pretty good. 5 hours, up for food, 2 more hours and up for the day. He really doesn't sleep much for a newborn. The kids all love him and argue about who gets to hold him and who gets to sit with him in the car. He had his 2 week check up last week and weighed 9lbs. 10oz.
