      Mood March 30, 2009 2:49am

      Oh boy, time flies! Laza is one month old and he had 9 lbs 11 oz at one month checkup! His doc said he looks like a two month old! He is definitely …

      I've always been very big proponent of natural birth, for years before we even started TTC. And I'm very happy that we got to experience just …

      I cannot believe it's been a week from his birth. It seems both like one long day and like he was with us forever. He is such a miracle! We had a …

      He came on Feb 24 at 8:58pm after 12 hours of labor, 3.5 of which were spent pushing. But we made it all natural, and it was a totally awesome …

      From LissaHurch October 28

      Thanks again. It's good to hear it gets easier :). I was just reading in one of my books how a lot of babies are sleeping six hours a night by four weeks--ha, not ours, who is feeding every two hours, meaning we get an hour tops of sleep in between, usually with one fussy hour somewhere in the middle of the night where we can't seem to calm him. I guess I am getting more used to it now though! Hopefully Laza will start sleeping longer stretches again soon too, I feel for you guys! He is totally cute, though, and so active! It's cool now that Dean engages with us a little more, even just looking at us more. I'm sure that just gets better. Hope all is well with you three! Thanks again. :)

      From LissaHurch October 27

      Thank you so much for your message...much appreciated. My brother is here for a few days and then my other brother and dad are coming, so that's helping a lot. I guess I am still just figuring all this out, and it's tough to adjust without any sleep! But I'm feeling a little better today. Not least of which is thanks to the yummy dinner I just ate, thanks to you! You are such a star, thanks again for everything. I hope once things calm down I can somehow repay the favors!

      My daughter is 3.5months....it's fun. I can't decide if Im going to do the cereal anymore or not...seems pointless if it doesn't help her sleep. I dont know why SO MANY say it does.

      From ruth86 August 27

      Hi sweetie, just a thought with massage... I was told by a massage instructor that it is best to do this during the day when they are alert, as doing it later in the evening/night can cause them to be upset... Just in case that is making the sleep situation worse!! I had my little girl scream 10hours straight many days and never slept more than 10-30mins at a time for the first 6weeks of her life, it IS torture :(

    • Close Infertility
      Type: Ovarian Issues

      We've been TTC for 1.5 years. 3 miscarriages, all in 1st trimester. We're now trying IVF w PGD since last baby had trisomy 18. We don't know if first two had some genetic issue too since it was too early a loss to test. First IVF cycle got canceled since I only had 5 follies.

      Treatments

      Clomid Working / Worked
      I got pregnant but had m/c at 10 weeks. No side effects.
      Folic Acid Working / Worked
      I'm taking this for a genetic issue I have. It certainly stopped my hair loss.
      Follistim Working / Worked
      Kind of worked. I had 5 follies so we'll try with a higher dose. No side effects.
      HSG (Hysterosalpingography) Working / Worked
      It worked. No side effects.
      In Vitro Fertilization Working / Worked
      Not yet
      Lupron Working / Worked
      It kinda oversuppressed me.
      Progesterone Working / Worked
      Yes.
    • Close Miscarriage

      I've had 3 m/c and we're now trying IVF because my doctor thinks the reason for m/c was poor egg quality. With IVF they can test embryos before they put them back in.

      Treatments

      D&C Working / Worked
      yes, no side effects
      HSG (Hysterosalpingography) Working / Worked
      yes, no side effects
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      very much so, this gets me through the days :)
