Update

Wow! Ryder will be one month old on Sunday! We have been doing pretty good here. I gave him his dads last name which messed me up though because now they won't issue me a birth certificate for him until he signs the birth certificate or gets a paternity test. So I decided he would do a paternity test that way he still won't be on his birth certificate. I did make the mistake of letting him sleep by me one night because I was so tired, because now I can't get him to sleep in his bed for more than an hour or two. I'm still trying to figure out diaper changes though lol. It never fails he ALWAYS pees when I'm changing him. I had to quit breastfeeding last Wednesday which made me sad, because he can't have cows milk. So now he is fully formula fed. Any questions just ask! :)
How are all your pregnancies going? I'm sure I missed a lot since I haven't had much time to get on here to answer questions.

@pinklie I would get newborn and 0-3 months clothes to start out with. My son was 8 pounds 7 ounces at birth and he is still in newborn clothes at a month old. He swims in the 0-3 months, but not all babies are like that. My nephew could never wear newborn clothes. Some people prefer a crib, but I really like the pack n plays. My daughter stayed in hers until it was time for a toddler bed, so I saved a lot of money because I didn't have to buy a crib. A swing also comes in handy. I use mine when I am taking showers or trying to do housework. Scratch mittens so they don't scratch their little face, wipes, bath stuff although I just gave my son his first real bath because I has to wait for his belly button and circumcision to heal, car seat, stroller, I really like having a front pack as well. You do need diapers, but I don't recommend stocking up on a whole bunch of them. Get a few small packs of diapers to start with because some babies can't use certain brands. Neither of my kids were able to use huggies. Having burp cloths is great so they don't throw up on you, and my mom got me these rag type things that go under their head so if they spit up while they are laying down it doesn't ruin what they are on.

if he does a paternity test it will automatically put him on the birth certificate

Some Babies are lactose intolerant and can't process the milk protein that is in Breast milk. It can cause severe Diarrhea and Diaper rash. Nutraimegen is the formula my 2nd baby was given, although its expensive, they cover it through WIC. Do what's best for your little Miracle♥

By drinking and having dairy it transfers into her breastmilk which then affects baby. She couldve either switched to formula or completely gave up dairy to help LO.

Aw nice update :) I don't quite understand why you had to give up bf though? Why does it matter if he can't have cows milk? What has that gotta do with your milk lol? Ps I LOVE the name Ryder! Wish my partner did lol
