ONE MONTH OLD!!


I cannot believe it has already been a month. What a crazy fast month!!

We took her in and her new stats are:
8 pounds 12 oz.
21 inches long
50% percentile for both

She was born 7 pounds 9 oz. and 19 1/2 inches. So quite the growth spurt.

Just some things about her from this month to record here. She is a great baby, just really gassy. I have tried cutting out spicy food, chocolate, and even gone compeltely dairy free. I am still going dairy free but she still really struggles with gas so we'll see. She is actually a pretty good night sleeper going to sleep about 8:00 pm and waking up at 2:00 and then 5:00. So not bad- I just need to be better about going to bed earlier to really appreciate how well she really sleeps. She's a great eater, and I am really hoping this time to nurse her more than 3 months which is all I've ever been able to do with my past two. She is awake ALOT during the day. She take a good afternoon nap but is up for about 3-4 hours in the morning and the evening. So she's been a joy and Ridge and Cambree have gotten even cuter with her as the days go. They are always asking to hold her. Cambree helps me dress her and change her diaper. Ridge insists about once a day to hold her and I have to eventually just take her away. He really loves her and I am so glad he never really experienced any jealousy.

This month has definitely been an adjustment but, not as bad as everyone has made it out to be. My next concern is going to be preschool which start in 2 weeks. I am excited about it and about being really busy again, but makes me so nervous about Brecklynn being fussy, and Ridge participating. We shall see. Brecklynn is such a joy and I can't wait to see more of her personality come out as the days, weeks, and months go on!!
