Hi girls! Sorry I haven't been on much. Right after Xmas my computer cord broke so Ive been with out my lap top until yesterday! I had David's Desktop but for some reason It would not let me sign on so Ive only been able to "Stalk". We've been Crazy busy around here! Nothing fun, we all have colds that will not go away! Cambria was vomiting everywhere and now she just has that bad cough. But I feel bad cause it keeps her up all night. Baylens a little Congested and has a cough every now and then but I think since Im nursing him it's helping him fight It off. I had a sore throat last week which is gone now but I have that nasty cough. Then of course I woke up this morning with the Flu Im hoping this will all go away soon!

As the Kid's go Cambria's going to a feeding clinic once a week. We've only gone a couple times but I can't tell If it's helping yet or not. She definitely has some Sensitivity issues were working on. Doesn't help when she's sick either. Were also 100%in the terrible 2's!!! Ugh so not fun!

Baylen is such a good baby! The "Sleep Training" we did was the best thing ever!!! It was only the first 3 days that were rough. He no longer wakes up after Ive put him down and takes the best naps! He naps anywhere from 20-mins to 2 hours 3 times a day. Cambria NEVER did that! He's on his last nap of the day right now and he's been asleep for an hour.He still wakes at least twice a night but I have no problem with that. My goal was to help him nap and sleep better in general and I think he's a much happier baby now that he does. Unfortunetly we have the same problem with my milk and gaining weight. He's only 10lbs and barely on the charts for everything! Poor kid, my milk just sucks! Ive been pumping and giving him that extra in hopes that it will help but so far it hasn't. My Peid wants me to start him on food and juice but I dont know If were ready for that yet. Either that or formula she said. Im gonna try and make it to 6 months before we introduce anything. Here's a few recent pics too!!

Awww! Baylen is such a cutie! And he looks so much like Cambria, they are adorable! I'm sorry you're sick! Congrats on the sleep training, I'll have to look into that, it sounds very intriguing. Get better soon!

Um YOUR tiny.... why don't they just think you MAKE tiny babies! If he is healthy and IS gaining (abit slowly) just keep doing what your doing girl. Glad to hear you have good sleeper!!! Hope the sickies go away from your house soon.

I hope you are all feeling better soon. Your kiddos are adorable! WHY juice? I just don't understand why the doc would think a 4 month old needs juice??? I don't even give Oliver juice. Maybe a sip here and there out of my cup but that is it. I agree with Angela. If he is gaining and seems happy with what he is getting just hold off for a couple months and then start the solids. You might have more milk that you think you do. Pumping never gives as much as a baby can get out. How much are you able to pump? When I pumped every few hours I got maybe 4-6 oz if I was lucky. Usually more like 4 sometimes less. I forgot how much he weighed when he was born? Oliver has always been on the bottom of the charts and my doc said it's fine.

SOMEONE needs to be on the bottom we all can't be 50%.

He was taking forever to poop!! He went 8 days then 5 and now goes every 2 usually. So I had to give him a little prune juice to help and he pooped the next day. That was the only time I gave it to him cause I to dont think they need juice at that young of an age. I Hate giving Cambria juice. David started giving her some and now she wants it all the time. I wasn't happy about that. I f I pump at the end of the night I can get 4-5 oz's. I can maybe make 2 bottle a day If I tried hard enough.

Sorry about the cold! Its sure sucks!

I'm sure the size/weight "issue" is genetic and I don't know why it's an issue seeing you're a small person.

Love the pics! Baylen is adorable and I think he looks a lot like his dad in them and Cambria is gorgeous as usual.

I know exactly how you feel about your milk sucking, I felt the same way all the time with Xander. It wasn't til he was 6 or 7 months that I finally just let go and accepted how tiny he was. He's healthy and happy and hitting all his milestones, so I look back on it now and feel silly for spending so many hours worrying. So lots of (((hugs))) for feeling that way, it's no fun. I ended up nursing Xander til he was 14 months and change and I gotta say, months 8-14 were the most enjoyable.

I think you guys are doing great and that he'll be just fine until 6 months when you can introduce solids. Adorable pictures! Both the kiddos are such cuties!
