Ady // 1 Month Old

Wait? Wasn't I just in the hospital having a nurse change my sexy meshies? How is it that we've already had you in our lives for an entire month? Before the tears come streaming and I can't see the screen to write this post, let me start off with some general tidbits I never want to forget.

Stats:
Weight: 10 pounds 3 ounces-ish (we don't go back to the docs until 2 months but you get weighed every Monday at the breastfeeding support group and have been putting on exactly an ounce a day)
Height: Probably around 20 inches?!

Sleep: Angel baby. Seriously. I've had to wake you up for every feeding during the night except for two times. We woke you every 3 hours the first week and a half and then went to every 4 hours for a couple weeks and now we put you down around 10:30 and I wake you around 4:00am for a quick nurse and then I get you up again at 7am to nurse one time before taking Drew to school. I actually forgot to set my alarm the other night and you went from 10:30 until 5am. I thank my lucky stars daily.

Eat: You are an amazing latcher. It's so odd having such a good nurser after dealing with Drew and his tongue tie issue. You still eat about every 2 hours during the day but if you're napping, I'm not waking you until closer to 3 hours. Either way, you had formula for the first week because you lost so much weight at the hospital, but since then you're 100% on breastmilk and gaining weight beautifully!

Clothes: You're mostly wearing 0-3 or 3-6 outfits depending on the brand.

Diapers: Size 1. I'm waiting a bit longer to start our cloth diaper journey as you fill every diaper with little poop, much unlike your brother who held it all and dumped a couple times a day. TMI?

Talk: I know they say babies this early can't coo, but you do. For realz. Not for me and not for anyone else, but for your ceiling fans. You absolutely adore them and have coo'd on several different occasions to them! My heart literally explodes when you make those sweet sounds. Oh, and grunting? You are an Olympic Gold Medalist at it. When we wake you up or you are waking from a nap, you grunt like crazy. It's super adorable and I never want to forget those sounds.


I love you so much my angel and based on this past month, you have defied the saying that 'you only get one good one'. Thus far we have two wonderful sleepers and eaters and I couldn't ask for anything else!
