1 Month

Presley's first month was such a whirlwind! Man, thinking back it flew by!

Presley wore preemie clothes for the first two weeks and newborn diapers. She was so tiny and so cute! She stayed awake for a couple hours at a time since birth, Miss Priss doesn't want to miss a thing. 

At her two week appointment she weird 7 pounds 1 ounce and was 20 inches long. At that appointment her jaundice hadn't went away completely so we had to go to the Sacred Heart Lab and get blood drawn. I was super nervous, but did really well. She slept through the whole thing :) What a good baby! 

I tried to breast feed in the hospital, but that method did not work out for us. We switched to formula and all was well with us. For the first two weeks she ate 2 ounces  consistently and occasionally she would eat 3. 

After two weeks, she really grew into her own. Started wearing size one diapers and newborn clothes. She was simply too long for premiee! Where does she get her height from?!? Mom and Dad aren't exactly the tallest people ha! Around the 4th week she started sleeping longer stretches, 3-4 hours. It is exhausting, but seeing her sweet face makes it perfect! 

I never knew how much my life could change in a short month. I am enjoying every single day with her! we have had a ton of visitors and it is simply amazing how much this little girl is loved. She is so blessed and doesn't even know it.

The whole family has adjusted, even the puppies! Roxy is so in love with "her" baby! She checks on her regularly and she makes sure I am taking care of her properly. If only she had hands-- she would be so much help =) 

I love being a mommy, but how could you not love that face....
