This first month has been wonderfully scary, stressful, and magical. Brooklyn is settling into her new world around her as Dave and I are along for the ride. We LOVE the ride though!
At the beginning, breastfeeding was a struggle but over the past few weeks it has started to become so much better. She is not sleeping through the night yet but I don't think that she should be yet. She is still waking about 2 to 3 times a night to feed and normally goes right back down. YEAH! Dave is back to work so the nights are all on me! I try to make sure that the little lady is not too loud so he can get some sleep. That is hard sometimes, she HATES diaper changes with a passion.
Oh yeah...How about some stats: She had some weight issues in the beginning so that is why she hasn't gained too much past her birth weight but she have gained a lot from what she has lost. She actually got down to 6lbs 5oz at one point. It was scary but we are happy to report that she is gaining again!
Birth:
7lbs 1oz
19 3/4 in
3 weeks:
7lbs 3 1/2 oz
19 3/4 in
I think that is all for tonight... It is getting late (9:30, who knew that I would think that was late) and the little one will want to eat again soon!
