I have read and responded to loads of posts this year and I am curious about the outcomes.
Did you newborn ever latch? Did your 5 month old every nap for more than 5 minutes? Did you let DD CIO? Did you divorce or forgive your DH? Did your DS start walking? What did the daycare say when you called them out? How was that playdate? So, link your old post and let us all know what happened... |
Ooh, and if you solicited naming advice, tell us what you named your baby! |

Titled: Help! My baby needs to gain weight DS is still not on the growth charts but he is thriving developmentally. We are aggressively treating him for reflux and he is slowly gaining weight! It has been quite a struggle and I was/am so appreciative of all the recommendations offered on this forum! |
Great thread idea, OP!!! |
I want to know how the kid who was on the tube (and did get it out eventually) is doing. What OP and her family went through brought me to tears several times (and to gratefulness for our relative lack of drama the first year). I can't remember the thread, but it was something like "When does the pain for baby stop?. There was also a ton of good advice and experience on that thread. |
What a great thread, OP! This was my thread: www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/99719.page
My Dad is now onto girlfriend #2, so I am thankful that I didn't have girlfriend #1 meet my new baby. I have realized, however, that life is so very short and companionship is good for my Dad. I will probably meet girlfriend #2 sometime in the next few months (maybe for DD's first birthday). I miss my Mom tremendously and wish that she had been able to meet my daughter. I talk to her a lot while I am driving in the car and when it is quiet and keep asking her for a sign that she is around and ok, but haven't had a sign yet! |
good to hear from you, and I'm glad you both stuck to your guns about gf #1 not meeting the baby, and that you are at peace with your dad having some companionship. I'm sorry about your mom, but it sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders- undoubtedly thanks to her. love this thread idea, I hope more people chime in! I never start threads so have nothing to contribute. |
This is 16:48 again. Here is one other thread that I started: http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/111307.page#927737
It links some with the previous thread, because my DS recently mentioned my Mom and I told him I missed her (I think we were nearing Thanksgiving). Then, in a sweet voice DS says: "but you still have your Dad". So, back to why I can't be mad at him forever about wanting companionship and trying to move on after my Mom's passing... Happy New Year DCUMs! |
Thanks for contributing. I think about you sometimes. I know what a help my own mom has been this year and I'm glad you've done ok. Godspeed. |
I posted that I thought my house was haunted, because the cats kept puffing up for no reasons and children's fingerprints would suddenly appear on the fridge.
Stainless steel cleaner got rid of the fingerprints, and the cats stopped puffing up, so I never got the house smudged or blessed. The house is next to a lot of trees, so I think branches outside were making noises that scared the cats. All is fine now! |
Yes, please! |
Phew!! |
19:33 - too funny! We could have had Paranormal DCUM! |
I started this one which erupted into a feminist argument:
http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/109044.page Funny that it erupted into a flamefest. I am married to my "baby's daddy" and I have to say to all the haters that my husband is still so great. I suffered from PPD, had a new job in a new country with a new baby at 40. My baby's daddy is still the best and still wakes up every night, every morning so that I can rest, takes care of his daughter in ways that his parents never did and has overcome the silence of his father's generation. God bless that man. |
