1 month old Chunky Monkey!

Mackenzy turned 1 month old yesterday! Time has flown by this month and we're getting used to toting another human being around with us everywhere! She went to the pediatrician for her 1 month well baby visit and weighed in at a whopping 8.8 lbs which means she has gained a little over 2.5 lbs since birth! I must be feeding her some super breast milk! She is still 20.5 inches long which explains why all of her pants are really long. Maybe she'll be a shorty like me even though she has big hands and feet like daddy!

Her doctor said she is doing beautifully and her colic and reflux have calmed down tremendously. She is even beginning to sleep for 4 hour stretches at night which is wonderful, but I wake her up around the 4 hour mark so I can feed her and not explode! Around 6 weeks she'll need to begin taking a vitamin D supplement since breast milk lacks vitamin D and at her 2 month appointment I have to give her infant Tylenol because she has her 1st round of shots... poor thing.

Events this week: She pooped on me, herself, the bed, and her clothes. She had projectile pee like a boy and got the comforter all wet! She had projectile spit up and got it all in her hair! She peed on herself in Sears and we had to do a wardrobe change in the bathroom. She and Nicholas are getting along nicely and we all cuddled on the bed! She had her 1st trip to McIver and got to see some of her new Aunties and Uncles!

And the best news of all- I can now fit in to 2 pairs of my pre-pregnancy jeans which feels wonderful! I still have a ways to go before I'm back to my slender self, but I'm doing pretty good for someone that's not allowed to exercise yet (which I thoroughly miss). I feel wonderful and I'm loving motherhood!

Anytime Mackenzy is awake, alert, and not hungry I plop her on her tummy for tummy time! She is now able to lift her head up and move if from left to right, but when she gets tired she either cries or tries to eat the bed... Silly baby!

This was the outfit I had her in for our trip to McIver, which she slept through. These are 1 of the 2 pairs of pants that aren't to long and she even sported a headband! Such a cutie!
