It seems like I just gave birth to our sweet baby girl and heard her cry for the very first time, yet here we are out the 1 month old mark!! We have been blessed so much by her being added to our family and love to watch her grow like a weed every day!! Here are some very brief stats on her busy life these days;-)Weight: ~9.5 pounds (she has gained a little over 2 pounds since birth)
Height: ~22 inches (I did my best to measure her squirmy little body)
Eating: I have been nursing her so I am not entirely sure how much she eats, but I gave her a bottle yesterday with 4 ounces of breastmilk in it and she downed it no problem......she is a little piggy for sure!
Sleeping: At night she sleeps in 3-5 hour stretches (the 5 hour stretches are great for reviving the tired Mama and we will strive to have those more frequently;-) Naps are either really long or really short at this point, but we will get it figured out before very long.
Activity: When put on her stomach she has figure out to roll over to her back (it takes her a little while but she tucks those little legs under and can do it if she is mad enough to not be on her stomach anymore)
We are loving every minute (yes even the midnight, 3 am, and 5:30 am feedings) and look forward to watching our beautiful baby girl grow! And Owen is still as infatuated with his baby sissy as he was when he saw her for the first time. He brings her binky to her when she cries, helps mama burp her when she is done eating, and even rocks her in her swing (of course she is strapped in tight and he has supervision). It just fills my heart watching him love on her so much and I am so excited to see them grow up together.
