Recess
Hello hello! Today you actually have real me and not pre-scheduled post me. I can't believe how fast those pre-scheduled posts ran out...I felt like I wrote a ton of them. But even though I'm here, I'm only on my brothers itouch (which is a pain to blog from). I'm mostly here today to let you know that Em and I discussed things and we're going to put the blog on the back-burner until January. My little guy is having trouble gaining weight and is on a super frequent feeding and supplementation schedule, so when I'm not working on trying to fatten him up I'm sleeping. Em's semester has been grueling for her and she's in the final throws of major papers and projects, so of course we want her to do well there. We're not shutting down the blog, and we may still do a random post here and there, but we will be cutting way back. Hopefully by January I'll have a fat little baby and Em will have a less hectic school and work life and we can get the blog running full steam again. So for now hang tight, look back at old posts if you haven't before, browse Pinterest, test pins, and keep the awesome submissions coming our way. We'll miss you all and can't wait to be get this blog running strong again! Have a wonderful holiday season and we'll catch you all later.

Hope all goes well for both of you and your little one - look forward to hearing good news in the new year :)
ReplyDeleteYou are a couple of busy gals--hoping the little one rebounds fast--love your blog--see you in 2014--
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas TO ALL !!!
Take care of yourself and that baby! Clearly he's been putting most of his energy into growing hair, so it's understandable that he's a little underweight!
ReplyDeleteSad to see that this page is on hold but it s understandable. Here's to a chunky monkey, and more free time in the new year!!
ReplyDeleteI loved discovering your blog this year - thank you! Have a great holiday season with your families and good luck with babies and finals. See you in January!
ReplyDeleteFrom the mom of an initial slow gainer, try eating fattier foods yourself for a few weeks. That really helped make my milk richer, and my little guy became quite the chunker.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with exams and with the baby! I had a noneater, which made me kind of crazy (for lack of a better term!). Lots of doctors visits and worry.. I hated hearing about percentiles because we were in 5th percentile, and I was strangely jealous of other babies and their rolls of fat :b The newborn phase is tough but it does get better!! Just keep going and keep loving :)
ReplyDeleteI'll miss you both, but give that little one lots of hugs and lots of food! And Em, ACE those classes!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time off.... Prayers that he continues to gain weight.

Good luck with getting him to gain. Some kids are just small. We fought the percentiles for all three of my kids. I highly recommend giving a visit to the La Leche League forums if you are nursing, as they have a ton of support and information on how to increase supply, and reduce supplementation, while still getting the baby to gain weight. Take all the time you need.
ReplyDeleteOut of our 6 babies, we had 4 who were small - all the time. I increased our nursing sessions, made sure the drink lots of water and eat lots of good food (but not too much!). And then I had the doctor track my kids on their own growth curves. And they were gaining - but just not on the "standard population growth chart"...
ReplyDeleteSo, take your time, nurse lots, and read some good books & watch some great movies!
We will miss you while you are away - enjoy your holidays and all the other things that need to be done - hopefully we will see you next year
ReplyDeleteFirst post didn't publish, so again I will say for you to take care of your families and selves first. Will miss you and look forward to your return. Gain weight little one! Not often you get to wish that for someone!
ReplyDeleteOh, I totally understand! Life goes a bit crazy this time of year anyway, and you've got a lot on your plates. Kick back, do schoolwork (Em), feed the baby (Marquette,) and don't worry…I have a feeling we'll all be here when you come back.
ReplyDeleteYou two take care! Happy Thanksgiving.
