Oh Lucy girl, in one short month you have stolen the hearts of everyone who meets you- most of all mine! Spending my days with you is such a joy. I love holding you, kissing your squishy cheeks and staring into those dark, dark eyes!
You were eating for 20 minutes every 3 hours, but at your one month appointment, the doctor had me cut back on the length of time you eat to see if that would help you not spit up as much. We've cut back to 15 minutes, and it has helped so much. I'm extremely grateful that you are a quick, efficient eater because with your brother running around, I don't have hours to devote to feeding you. What can I say? You LOVE to eat!
Nights vary as to how long you sleep. You have gone stretches as long as 5 hours, but mostly it's awake every 3-4 hours. You usually drift back to sleep quickly when you're done eating. In fact, there are times I have to fight to get you to eat the full time. But I've learned it's worth it to do that when we're both awake rather than letting us both fall asleep for 30 minutes when you remember you're hungry!
You have moved on up to a size 1 diaper and are still wearing mostly 0-3 month clothes. Dressing you is one of my favorite parts of the day, although you're not so much a fan of having your clothes changed. You wiggle and scream the whole time I'm putting clothes on you.
Month One stats:
Weight- 10 lbs, 11 oz (90%)
Length- 22.5 inches (90%)
I love you so much, precious one and I am so thankful God chose ME to be your mommy. You have given our family a joy-filled bright spot. I can't wait to see what the next month holds.
Love,
Mommy
