Macey--1 Month

I'm not off to a very good start considering Macey is 5 1/2 weeks old and I'm just getting her 1-month post up... I'm trying! I can't believe how much little Macey has changed in the last 5 weeks! We have been enjoying her so much! Her are some of her 1st

month facts:

• At her 1-month check-up she weighed 8 lbs. 13 oz. and was 21 inches long. She's still pretty little, but she's growing!
• She's into a good eating routine--every three hours during the day (and I have her on a schedule that will work for me to pump and feed her at lunch time when I go back to work.)
• By the end of her 1st month, she is typically sleeping from 9/9:30 PM to 5/6 AM--she occasionally gets up at 4--I'm very happy with this!
• She has rolled from her tummy to her back 3 times now.
• She usually has fussy time in the early morning (after her first feeding) and at dinner time.
• She is surviving her big brother and sister--they love to "help". Her face has been colored on twice with glitter markers (which are now put away for an extended period!) while riding in the car.
• She has been to visit both of her grandparent's house for an over-night stay and has met 3 of her great-grandparents!

We are learning to deal with new challenges and are enjoying having this little girl in our family!
