Introducing Ronan

Thanks!! I can't believe how much he has changed already! I already get sad about him growing up lol! But I do enjoy him being awake more in the day and watching him learn!! I just love being a mommy!

Wow, 9pounders Lyndsey Proud of you.


My three boys did not want to be breastfed and in my situation I did not have time to pump so they had formula. I read somewhere that formula babies tend to be overweight but mine are thin and very healthy. Every situation is different and whether is breastmilk or formula they are getting the nutrition they require. Formula lets the dad be more involve and that's a plus.

I know! They thought he was big so I was having ultrasounds right until the end. According to the last one he should have been about 8.5 lbs at birth! It was a pound off in the wrong direction lol. I don't know how many times I said "I can't do this! I'm going to die!" during delivery lol. His head was 97th percentile for size. I am so glad he came early because he would have been a c-section for sure if he stayed in any longer. As it was, he got stuck high up and my pushes were not effective so they had to pull him down one cm with forceps so I could actually push him out. The doctor said he did that to avoid an emergency c-section. Ending up with a section after 47 hours of labor would have taken a toll on me for sure.

My mom told me after two weeks of crying to her about breastfeeding troubles, that my brother and I were formula fed as well. I wish she would have told me sooner. It made me feel much more okay with it! I was a chubby baby but stick-thin growing up! And my brother and I have both been relatively healthy!

Breast feeding just doesn't work for everyone.......and I was one that just didn't have enough milk. I tried so hard with Jaci but gave when she wasn't gaining weight. All that matters is that your ban is growing and happy! I've enjoyed seeing pictures on FB. He's so precious!! I'm so happy for you!

I'm so glad everything is going so much better for you now Lindsey! Ronan is such a sweetie pie. It's so nice that Scott helps you out on the weekends so you can get some sustained rest. That's really important. Keep us posted, I love hearing about him.

[DianaB]

Me too! We could use some new pictures!

[Lindsey]

My little boy is 8 weeks old today! I feel like we have had him for way more than 8 weeks lol. I don't remember what life was like before him.

Scott weighed him last night and he is now a whopping 14.4 lbs! He is so long that he is already wearing 3-6 month sized sleepers.

This Thursday he is getting his 2-month vaccinations. I am terrified and I'm sure I will cry just as much as he does I will try to stay calm as much as possible though because I know he can tell when I'm upset!

[Lindsey]

Okay here is a picture I took just now lol. Scott put him down for a rest on the floor and he was fussing, so Scott grabbed Kash's favorite toy squirrel and set it beside Ronan. He stared at it until he fell asleep lol!
