Julia is 1 month old!

I can't believe this but our sweet little Julia is one month old today! Time really does fly by so fast, so much has happened this month! Adam took her to the doctor for her one month checkup today. He ventured out with Julia all by himself! I had to stay home because I changed antibiotics in my PICC line. I don't have to carry around the pump anymore, just receive another from a drip for a half hour once a day. Yay! Okay so back to Julia: she weighed in at 10 lbs today! And she grew anothers 1/2 inch so she is now 22 1/4 inches in length! It was kind of funny today I had to list Julia's height in feet and inches on an application so I put 1 foot 10 inches! It made me laugh. So Adam did so great in his venture out today. Here are some snapshots from the doctor's office! So cute!!

"I'm so beautiful I can't help but to look at myself in this big mirror!"

"Why do they make me take all my clothes off? It's cold in here!"

"Look at my chubbs belly!"

Here's a little bit about one-month-old Julie Eloise:

She eats about every two hours unless she has slept through her two hour mark.

She usually takes one very long afternoon nap starting about noon and ending around 5 or 6pm!

Her nighttime schedule has been pretty consistent starting with 4 to 5 hour sleep and then at about 3 or 4 she starts waking up every two hours or so.

She's usually up for the morning around 7:30 or 8am.

She loves the bath! She kicks in the water and it calms her down right away if she's been fussy.

She's got a bit of baby acne still hanging on from her first break out.

Her hair has remained dark brown and her eyes are still that newborn dark blue slate color.

Every night between 7 and 11pm she has her fussy time where she gets a little bit of gas pains. If she has a screaming spell, it only lasts a half hour at the most and that has only happened two times.

She's almost outgrown the bassinet! The way she likes to sprawl out when she sleeps is almost too much for that little bed!

The noises Julia makes are so hilarious. Especially the ones she makes while trying to wake up! It takes her forever to wake up so she grunts and squeaks quite a while before crying for some food.

She absolutely loves her changing table in the bathroom. We're not sure if it's the noise of the bathroom fan, the lighting, or the comfort of the table itself but she loves it in there! We always joke that we'll put her bouncy seat or swing in there and leave her in there to hang out for a while! (But of course we don't...)

Anyway, those are just a few things about Julia. I wanted to mention that this whole month my mom has been here so she has made all these and more discoveries about Julia along with us. She flew home today and we will miss her terribly! Julia loves to wake up in the morning and smile big for Grandma Jules!! Thanks for all your help these last two months mom, we love you!
