(totally stole this idea from Melissa - it'll be fun to see how Annie grows in comparison with her doll each month)
Saturday marked Annie's first month!
She is 21 1/2 inches long and 7 lbs 1 1/2 ounces (almost back to birth weight FINALLY). Doctor isn't worried about her, says she is just a peanut. She is wearing newborn diapers (so far Pampers brand are the only ones small enough) and newborn size clothes.
Annie's days are spent eating, sleeping, playing, and helping Mama around the house. She nurses about every 2-3 hours, and every 3 1/2 or so at night. She sleeps great at night and is learning about napping during the day. :)
This has been the shortest and longest month of our lives. Our family has certainly changed dramatically! We love being parents.
Our one month necessities have been:
- newborn size clothes
- boppy pillow
- sling (we call it the magic sling - when all else fails, put her in the sling and she will calm down and fall asleep)
- baby bathtub (Annie loves her baths)
- Medela Symphony breastpump and fenugreek to boost Mama's milk supply
- A&D ointment to prevent diaper rash
- receiving blankets (these are scattered all over the house, I use them for everything - blankets, swaddling, burp cloths, propping up my arm while nursing, etc)
Ahhh one month! She is growing up so fast already. Her most recent milestone sheds light on my terrible tardiness in sending a congratulatory card to you and the Gent. It'll be in the mail before the end of the week, I promise!
