"Newest" Moms Hangout... take 2!

[hulagirl87]

Lilliana just started walking, she went from taking a few steps to walking all over the house. She's 11 month's today! This past year has flown by so fast. I ordered her birthday cake yesterday, we are doing a ladybug theme. It's the oh so sweet line. I even found her a few matching dresses at Gymboree Outlet that matches it perfectly.

yay! I can't imagine how exciting that must be to see! Everyone says how fast the time goes and at first I was like, yeah right. I know that it has only been 2 months for me but it has gone by so quickly already! It's amazing even the small changes I see day to day.

I am through with grad school! I took my final for my last class tonight. Graduation is next Sat, but I'm not going. They can mail it to me! I'm just so happy to be done!

Congratulations!!!!

Congratulations!! I know what an accomplishment that is! I finished my Master's last August (I honestly don't see how people are able to go to school with kiddos at home!). Good job!!

Thanks for all the support. I love this forum.
How do you get the Enfamil coupons? I signed up on the site but all they send me are emails about the growth and development of my newborn. Like today I got a "Your baby is entering its 4th month" email.
Did I sign up at the right spot to get coupons in the mail?
Also... I think I am gonna have an Adoption Baby Shower... We are filing some more paperwork today...

I have Enfamil coupons if anyone wants them. I have to see what I have, and if they are expired or not. We use Parents Choice from Walmart. No issues with it at all. Plus, the price dropped, and it is onw only $10 a can!!!

I have had a sleepy baby the last two days! Yesterday, he got to the sitter's house at 7:15, had fallen asleep in the car. Slept until 10:30!! And then he was sleeping when I picked him up at 4:45, and didn't get up until I finally took him out of his car seat at 6:45. And he had cat-napped during the day as well.

My mom had him overnight last night, and he slept all night, and has so far taken 3 and a half hours of naps today! Plus, he is back to only going no more than 3 hours in between eating. Can't figure out what is up with him. He never sleeps like this! The eating is normal for him, he always wants to eat. In fact, I may try him on rice cereal this weekend. My doctor said if I needed to do it earlier than 4 months, he was fine with that. Last weekend I ground up brown rice into powder, so it is all set to go!

I'd love the coupons. What do you want me to do?
I have tried the Parent's Choice too. It looks like it is identical in ingredients but it seems a little more oily than the Enfamil. He does ok if I mix the two together in even amounts. I am hoping to move him to ALL Parents Choice here soon but it wouldnt hurt to get more Enfamil.
My Walmart moved the price back up to $10.50 last week but thats still a steal!
I have had a sleepy baby too. How old is your child? My soon to be adopted son is almost 4 months and I have had him on cereal for almost a month now. He needed some in his bottle to keep it down about a month ago so we put him on it and he does really well. He has even been eating it off of the spoon with some fruit already... (maybe a little early, but he seemed ready)
I have been planning an "Adoption Baby Shower" for the summer (HOPEFULLY everything is completed by then)! I came across some really adorable personalized crosses that I think I am gonna get one with his 'new' name on.
Do you like them?
I am not sure what style to go with... I really like the starburst, but I like the tree of life one too. Any suggestions? I am definitely going to go with the Angel Bedtime Prayer, but I do like a couple of the other ones.... any ideas ladies?

Have you tried the Target brand generic? Its the only generic I could use with my twins. They have lactose issues, and they had the sensitive generic. It was wonderful! Saved me tons of money.

I can only see the starburst cross, but I think it is SUPER cute!

Just checking in. I've been really sick all week and Lily is going through something...teething + growth spurt? It's like she's a newborn again. She's up every 1.5-2 hours all night eating and just can't get comfy at night.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

thanks! my tylenol was on the list. i am a little irritated though since it is a new bottle. do they offer refunds from the company?

 

[BabyTigger99]

I am also wondering if they were offering refunds. I have a new bottle that was used once!! I emailed Tylenol, still waiting to hear from them, though.

In other news, I think we are starting rice cereal tonight. My mom has had E since yesterday evening. Wants to eat every 2 1/2 hours, and she said he just doesn't seem satisfied after he eats. I was over at my mom's house last weekend with a bag of brown rice that I ground up, so I am all set to go!

All the Motrin and Tylenol I had was on the list- CVS took it back and gave me a gift card for it.

Lucas is teething (3 more teeth) so I've been giving him a dose of Motrin when he's in obvious pain... so I went today to swap at least 1 bottle out for CVS brand. They had no problems doing it, very easy.

 

[december]

I have 3 bottles on the list-2 Tylenol and 1 Motrin. I need to go to Walmart tonight for groceries anyway. I'm going to check with customer service. Patsy, did you have a receipt or anything?

 

[harleyquinn]

I always buy the store brand...wonder how those are regulated...

Nope.
I found more (Tylenol) that I'd forgotten I had and just took it to a different CVS (closer to home) and they gave me cash.

Lily got her picture taken with Darth Vader and some Storm Troopers today. Gotta love Free Comic Book Day.

I guess she was very taken by the Storm Troopers, she waved to them everytime they walked by.

 

[december]

Sounds like fun-I'm looking forward to SWW at DHS in less than 5 wks now!

I was able to get cash for my 3 opened medicine bottles at Walmart tonight. It took forever for them to figure out how to do it, but they didn't give me a hard time.
