One Month and Counting



It is 8:30 on Tuesday night and Clint is watching House with Maddy hanging out on his chest (smart girl) and I have an oppotunity to do some things, uninterrupted. It is SO nice. Today was her one month well check and she is doing great. She weighs 8 lbs and is 21 1/4 inches long. She is in healthy percentiles for everything and got a clean bill of health. We are trying to figure out if she is in fact battling only dyschazia or if she also has a little bit of reflux as well. I will be tracking her behavior after feedings for a week or so and report back to the pediatrician. It was suggested to try her in a pouch on my stomach to see if that helps with her digestion challenges but she is not the biggest fan of that thing. I am still trying to master the sling option without feeling like she is going to either suffocate or tumble out onto the ground, so our hands free options are limited. Hence the reason I am loving this uninterrupted time.
Clint and I can't believe it has already been over a month since she came into our lives. She really is such a blessing to us and although our lifestyle has taken on a whole new style and meaning, we absolutely could not imagine life without her. Having a child truly does introduce a level of love that is unexplainable.
Maddy is getting very excited to have her second visit from grandma Jeanine and her first visit from her aunt Heidi. I am just hoping that she is in a little better spirits this time than she was when grandma visited the last time.
We hope everyone has a great week. I will be updating again soon. Until then, enjoy the photos above.
