In that month we have seen her grow and hit some amazing milestones that we did not expect her to hit as such a small little package that came so early. She sleeps, eats, sleeps, and poops. All the things we expect a baby to do and we love her for it! Actually, when it comes to pooping and peeing we have been shocked several times when she poops and pees everywhere (usually when we are changing her diapers). We, mistakenly, thought that was only a boy thing! How wrong we were!
We were excited when we went into the doctor today to find out that she has grown almost an inch and weighs 8lbs! There are cute little fat rolls showing up under her chin and on her legs and arms. She has grown out of a few of her outfits already! It is fun to see how excited we get when she makes these simple milestones. How would life be if we were all excited that we all love
She is still tiny and when we are carrying her in our arms people don't believe that we have a baby. They think it looks like we are carrying a doll.
Life feels like it is starting to normalize with two children. Of course that means Lady Hiva is doing most of the work. She is an amazing mum. Lucky Dragon is proud of his little sister too. He loves to hug her and give her kisses. He covers his ears when she cries (which is not often) and is quick to plug in her pacifier when he feels she want it. Night time is really the only time we notice the big difference. When all of us are trying to fit onto one Queen sized bed it gets interesting. We make vows to buy a king sized mattress every night when this happens and that resolve disappears in the day time...and at night the cycle continues!
We have been spoiled by family, friends and people from our congregation over the last month. They have given gifts, brought food and helped in many ways. We have been blessed.
