1 Month Check Up

This morning we had our 1 month check up! I have been so excited to get her weighed again, since we had trouble gaining in the beginning. Well my little butter bean has grown to 8 lbs 3 ounces!! I was soooo proud of her! I knew she had grown, but I wasn't sure how much. She is in the 25 percentile in weight, which is what I was as a baby. But my little girl has grown 1 1/2 inches in length to 22 1/2 :-) So she is in the 90 percentile in height! How funny!!

Anyways, we had a great appointment...but then had to get out Hep shot. What a huge needle for a little thigh! I didn't cry this time, but I am preparing myself for the next appointment when we begin immunizations...when they tell you to bring your baby tylenol that tells you. But Abby did pretty good with this shot. She didn't like it and did the silent scream to begin with then let her rip. I fed her right after so that calmed her down.

On another note, Scott & Kate took Miss Addison home from the hospital today. Please pray for them as they get into a routine and into their new life as parents...I didn't wear makeup for a week or get out of my pjs when we first brought Abby home! I wouldn't trade those dark circles or sleepless nights for anything!

Tonight we may be attempting our first tub bath since her belly button is looking good. Will post more on that fun experience later :-)

Tootles!!

Can I just tell you how fun it is to know someone else with a baby born on the EXACT same day as Reese...so fun to see them go through the same things at the same time!
