Robin- i have some sore shoulders too! I empathize! Ty's upto about 22 pounds (by my estimates on the scale) but i'm still carrying him around- i do throw him into the grocery cart and just buckle him in tight (he slumps a bit)- the hard part is lifting my 41 inch 2 yr old daughter in the cart... although harris teeter has carts her size so now she pushes a cart around the grocery store and mommy just carries Ty

Amsa- my dr said not to even start cereal until 6 months and then slowly intro other foods- we're doing only one food feeding here a day at the moment-- my dr says that until they're 1, that they can still get most of their nourishment from breastmilk so i definately wouldn't stress if you can't get it in! I do a container of #1 with a 4 ounce bottle for one of his feedings. I plan on introducing two feedings of real food starting tomorrow but all other feedings are still going to be breastmilk...

Wow Robin.....A is HUGE!!! I have a friend w/ a 1 year old (just about 5 weeks younger than Kate) and he is 30 lbs. and wearing roughly 2T sized clothing. I was cracking up yesterday seeing them together because Kate is pretty much still wearing 9 mos., especially if it's pants/capris/shorts and is just tipping the scales at 18 lbs. There's nothing better than a big baby boy though. More to squeeze!!!!!

AM.....can you come out to play? LOL!! I know, Kate is totally cramping my posting/lurking now. She's being ever so needy now that she's actually getting teeth!

Ahhhh.....will our belly's ever be the same again? I call myself skinny fat. If I slouch and push my tummy out I look about 4 mos. preggo. If only I could suck it in forever!

I swear I remember seeing a picture of you with the girls and you would need to hide a beach ball under your shirt, slouch and stick out yout tummy to look pregnant.

I wish I were skinny fat. I say I look like the after picture for someone on a diet but the before picture of having all the excess belly removed.

I still have 8 lbs to pre-pregnancy and 15 to where I would like to be but have all this extra soft belly. I know I will work my butt off the next 2 months just to start injectables again to pack it all back on.

Hi Darlings -

Sorry for being MIA lately - between LP consuming all my time and just being in a general "I hate everyone" (except, of course, you ladies) mood lately, I figured it was best not to post and possibly say something I might regret. Although, you ladies aren't the annoying ones, so this is where I should be!

Inna - good report - so exciting!!

Annaandy - Dominic is HUGE! I think I posted that LP is 33 inches and 25 1/2 pounds now at 15 months - and he is considered a big boy. LOL, Dominic would show him!

Robin - 32 ounces of formula a day??? LP never drank that much. No wonder all these other boys are rapidly gaining on him!

I don't remember what else I was going to comment on!

Hopefully it is the hormones, but I am just fed up with all the whiney people out there in the world. Them and the shady ones. Can't post any more details or such b/c with my luck, one of them will read this , but seriously people, time to put on your Big Girl Pants!!

Ok, I think I feel better.

OMG TOO CUTE! He is just adorable Robin- He is going to need to be a big boy to fight off cute boys like him from his little sisters. I love the one looking at the flower he looks so sweet.

AM- It's not the same without you. I hope things start looking up for you soon and you are feeling better.
