sadbelly's Journal

4 weeks old... tomorrow is actually Megan's 1 month birthday!  It's been so wonderful, but it has flown by.  She is really starting to smile now... I love those toothless grins... right at me and you can see she is really in there behind the smile, if you know what I mean.  Each milestone I know will be met with a mixture of excitement, pride... and even sadness that time is passing and that soon she will not be so little anymore.  

She sleeps pretty well once she gets settled, but some nights it's hard to settle her in.  Usually, she goes down around 11:00 and sleeps 4-5 hours before getting up, but last night, I could not settle her and wound up falling asleep with her nursing in my bed.  I woke up at 2:30 with my whole right side numb from not moving.  I put her back in her bassinet and she slept until 6:30.... so I have little to complain about!

She is a champion breast feeder!  On Tuesday morning, she goes for her 1 month check up ... I can't wait to see how much weight she has gained.  She has outgrown the newborn clothes and I have had fun getting into the 3 month old outfits.
