Nova is 7 months already *sigh*Its hard for me to believe it, but my baby is already 7.5 months old! He's up to 17 lbs, but developmentally he's more like a 2-3 month old. He's not progressing and we don't really know why. He's in speech, physical, and occupational therapies every week which is helping but he still does roll over, reach for/bat at toys, sit crawl or really do much of anything. We do tummy time but he still struggles at pushing his chest up off the ground despite having plenty of tummy time. I wish I could justshsrink him back to a smaller size tho.. he's getting so big that it hurts me to even hold him which makes me just want to cry. It shouldnt have to hurt to hold your own baby, but I digress.

it hurts me to hold kiara and
it hurts me to hold kiara and i dont think she weighs even that much! lol. im sorry i havent called, my phone got turned off as you probably could tell. i got my wrap tho, and i have her in that thing CONSTANTLY!! It helps soooo much and much more than i ever expected it too. im actually walking about 1/2 mi everyday. its really hard for me but i need to do it. i cant believe nova is that old already!!! thats unbelievable!! im sorry he's not progressing though, that has to be soo frusterating, especially with him being so big! I hope the multiple therapies (which have to be frusterating in on the themselves) help and he starts making more progress. Im sorry mama. That is so tough, especially with everything else you have going on.
I second the wrap for comfort
I second the wrap for comfort in terms of weight distribution. I hate carrying T unless it's on my back in a wrap.
I hope that y'all discover the cause of Nova's developmental delays, soon. It sounds like you're doing so much.
It's good to hear from you.
I can't believe he is already
I can't believe he is already 7.5 months old! All of that therapy sounds like a lot of work. Good Luck.
