As you all know, she is here! I hope to come back and write a post about her birth story, I just don't have the motivation to do it right now, lol. So I'm going to start with what's going on now.
Our little Addie bean turned 1 month yesterday and we went to her 1 month check up today. She is now 6 lbs 15.5 oz (up from 5 lbs 10.8oz at birth and 5 lbs 1 oz 2 weeks ago!) and 20 inches (up from 17.5in at birth). She is still only in the 4th and 11th percentile respectively but it is great progress! Also, her head measurement is 14 inches (14%) up from 13 inches (.9%).
She is currently eating 3oz of formula every 3hrs during the day and sleeping 3-5 hours at night. We are still having some issues with gas pain but have switched to Enfamil Gentlease formula and are using gas drops. Hopefully it continues to get better, poor girl.
We are continuing to work on getting her adjusted to days and nights by having her nap with the lights on, noises, etc. and going to sleep at night with a bedtime routine, minimal lighting/talking and the sounds machine. The past 2 nights have been great so hopefully she keeps it up!
She is starting to be much more alert and wide-eyed during her wake times. She loves to move around and seems very strong! She tries to roll to one side and she lifts her head up a lot. In the next month we are expecting her to track objects with her eyes, start using more purposeful movements with her arms and smile for real! (Cannot WAIT for that smile!)
