Little B you are such a blessing to our family and you were the missing piece to our puzzle that I didn't know was missing. Your first month has been quick, fun, tiring, hard, but with tons of cuddles and feeding and diaper changes! I didn't realize how much of a difference between a girl and boy was going to be! First of all changing your diaper was an art that took me a few weeks to master. Some how you would manage to wet your entire outfit and your diaper be bone dry! You have pooped on me TWICE! But, those days are few and far between thankfully!
First Month Highlights:
- You weigh 9.4 pounds and 21" tall. You are not our petite little thing anymore!!!
- You eat 4oz every 2/3 hours during the day and your nights are starting to get longer between feedings!
- You are still in newborn diapers and clothes- but I think thats all about to change!
- You usually take your last bottle at 8:30 and you snooze anywhere between 1:00/3:00 and eat 5oz and then snooze for another 3 hours. You are not as a good sleeper as your sister, but we have made huge progress thanks to the Mom on Call book!
- Unfortunately you have battled reflux for several weeks and we finally have you on meds and I hope that starts to help.
- When you are not in pain from reflux or tummy issues you are an observant quiet little fellow. You just sit and look around and take it all in.
- You like to hold your head up when we hold you upright and it amazes me how strong you are.
- You love bath times and sleeping on my chest.
- Your sister LOVES you and wants to help and give you pacis (even though those aren't your favorite things)!
We love you Bennett James!
