@Nessa: Your partner could help with it since it is kinda hard to see that part of your body....Sounds like a fun couple activity...

@MrsJibowu: Welcome and congratulations. Wishing you an uneventful 9 months.

@Nick...Too many numbers for me. I can't follow your post. My brain shuts off when I see more than 3 numbers . Just a couple of questions:

Did the ped say, everything is fine?

Is she thriving?

Is she a happy baby with plenty of feedings, dirty and wet diapers?

If you answer all those questions with YES...SHE IS TOTALLY NORMAL

All kids develop differently up to about 5 years..then they are all at about the same level so whatever happens....she will come out just normal

Don't forget...she's only 4 months old. Try not to pressure the ABCs on her yet *justkidding*.

Adam and Allie have their 24 months and 6 montch Well baby visit next tuesday.

Ha, was being facetious with my numbers, but basically a cm one way or the other with head size can really make a percentage difference. I did fool with either the weight or the height. But after four of my own kids, this profiling was all new to me.

Yeah, she is a strong mostly happy baby, but quite demanding, loves to eat and dirty her diapers, my kid likes to drop her off in safe hands just for a two hour break. Wife and I enjoy that and can spoil the heck out of her. It's wonderful being grandparents.

LOL, may I fix you a bowl of strawberries and pickles?

It was cool how my son and daughter-in-law told us about their blessing, invited us out for dinner, then gave us a present, a baby rattle was on the inside. Still here, and for our granddaughter to come over and play with it.

I never had any cravings. I felt nauseous for about two weeks and didn't want anything else but sushi and watermelon but I never had to throw up (a stomach bug at 8 weeks and 23 weeks took care of that though).

I told my parents over a cup of coffee. I was only 5 weeks along (with Adam) and we were visiting. I had just found out myself and wanted to let it sink in but my DH made me tell my parents right away. They were kinda shocked but happy. With Allie I went to Germany for a visit when I was about 10 weeks along. I showed them the picture as soon as we settled in and this time they weren't as shocked and a little more happy. I'm going back to Germany in a few weeks, this time I won't be pregnant though

Congrats MrsJibowu!

My biggest craving right now is cheese. I can't get enough of it! I think it is because milk and yogurt make me nauseous and so cheese is the only dairy I can have, so that's why I crave it so bad.

Saludos,

Caro

[Chrissy25 0]

[Staashi 371]

I crave McDonald's Sausage McMuffin sandwiches in the morning. Not good at all.

[Bootylicious!! 2]

I've been craving Hardee's gravy and biscuits. Other than that I haven't really craved anything.

Hmm no cravings here...

I had a 2nd degree tear that was harmless. I explicitly put in my birth plan that I didn't want an episiotomy unless the baby's heart rate is way down. the tear was stitched up super quickly and just felt sore for 2 or 3 days, but no pain or not uncomfortable. My sister had an epi and she hurt for quite a while and couldn't sit on her heiny for 2 weeks.
