1 Month

Our little love was one month old on Saturday.  How is that possible?  There isn't too much to report on her.  She is still brand new so she pretty much just eats, sleeps, and poops.  She definitely isn't the best sleeper, but over the past week she has gotten much better, giving us a few 5 hour stretches.  (I can handle that!)  She is a good eater and a pretty big spitter-upper.  We had her one month appointment yesterday and she is weighing in at 9lbs 3oz and is 20.6in long, so she gained almost three pounds and an inch and a half in her short month of life!  She was busting out of her newborn diapers, so we switched her to size 1 diapers yesterday.  Her newborn clothes are getting a bit snug on her, but 0-3 months are still a little baggy.  So she's wearing a little of both right now.  We are loving having her around and getting to know her sweet ways.  Her brother is absolutely smitten with her and kisses her head and says, "Hiiiiiii, sissssss" at least a hundred times a day.  He has been great with her so far, and we've only had a few jealousy issues.  He is doing much better with her than I anticipated.  Josh and I are adjusting slowly to having a newborn again.  The sleepless nights have been rough, and it has definitely been a challenge learning to juggle a newborn and a demanding toddler.  We are starting to get the hang of it ,though, and it feels like life is starting to normalize a little bit.  I am loving being on maternity leave and am dreading the day I have to go back to work.  (At least I have 6 more weeks!)
