GBWB, thank you for sharing in so many aspects of my life. I truly believe that with out the knowledge I gained here I would not have had the foggiest clue on how to TTC, how to move on after multiple miscarriages and a devestating loss. I would not have know all of the baby stuff that I learned here and have been able to pass on that information.
Thank you for introducing me to many great ladies who have become on-line and IRL friends.

I had a vaginal birth with our first daughter (she was born at 23 weeks) and I found I went back to normal.
I had a c-section with our 2nd daughter and I found I went back to normal as well.
That being said to answer your 2nd question about BD'ing after birth from c-section: We waited until our 6 week check up to get the ok and even then it was difficult at first.

We have our first daughter's ashes on the shelf in the china cabinet in a small urn. She will be buried with our ashes when the last of the two of us pass away. We have that written in our wills. I just can't part with her ashes yet. So they, remain in our loving home until she goes with her mommy or daddy.

The meals and the gift are awesome! I don't think there is anymore that you need to bring when you go and visit. If you want to do something for the parents maybe some chocolate, their favourite snacks ect...could be a good plan as well.

2 hours of CIO is too long. DD has been doing this sort of thing as well. We went back to SE methods and after a 2nd 10 min CIO session we remove her from the crib, try to give some food/water/milk, some cuddles and as we have found recently she has had some trouble with her molars and that is what is hurting her.
Also, as we were trying everything, we installed a white noise machine in her room as well as letting her sleep with one of our t-shirts to combat the separation anxiety that we thought was happening as well. This has worked wonders for us.

Thanks
tonight DD cuddled with me after our book, snack and milk (this has been part of our routine forever) and she did not want to leave me at all. She is not showing any signs of teething but, maybe I am missing them??
I am thinking that this may be more of a separation anxiety type of thing also? She did cry for about 7 mins after we put her to bed tonight which was MUCH better than last night...
We may have to do the "chair" method as well.

DD is 15 months old and she has been a pretty good sleeper (we sleep trained with SE) up until she visited my parents for an overnight and her routine was completely out. She has also not been to daycare in a week and has been home with us all week as daycare is closed for Spring Break.
That being said, when we put her to bed and follow our usual routine, she has reverted back to screaming and crying like she did when we sleep trained.
We have gone back and are trying the SE stuff all over but, it is painful listening to her cry so hard...she is screaming and crying her lungs out right now...this is so painful to hear her
I don't think she is teething at the moment although she has not got her molars in yet but, when we have checked there is no sign of them at all.
We don't know what to do. Do we need to re-sleep train? Are we doing anything wrong? Is there anything else we should be doing? Or is this separation anxiety? Help please!

We had a bouncy chair, tummy time mat at the beginning. It was a lifesaver! We loved the bouncy/vibrating chair as baby could sleep in it and it was also a place to put DD when we couldn't hold her anymore.
Tummy time mat, we had one with the arch where they can see the stuff. We also had one with a crescent shaped pillow to help hold DD up, like this:
As for the swing, we borrowed it from my sister and DD didn't really like it at all.

We have an awesome set of neighbours! We are pretty close with the neighbours to the left of us. We spend quite a bit of time with them playing board games, having bon fires, and even helping each other out with the our respective home renos.
Usually, in the summer at beer o'clock the neighbours to the left of us and the two or three across the street will come over to our driveway and we sit around and drink some cold ones. We live on a pretty close knit bay and I really like it!
