A
month old! What?! Someone explain to me how this is possible. I can
only assume a Delorean and Doc Brown were involved because I have no
other idea how quickly time has passed.
So let's get down to it.
Sweet
Eliza is simply the best baby on planet Earth. She sleeps like a rock,
eats like a champion, and snuggles like the coziest little butterball
there ever was.
{I
could also add that she grunts like a goat, burps like a thirteen year
old boy, and is by far the gassiest member of our family... but I guess I
shouldn't mention those things for fear of ruining her ladylike
reputation.}
She
had her first spina bifida clinic day at Vanderbilt yesterday and left
the building with positive reports from all of her specialists {more details to come on the SB Clinic}. The
incisions from her closure surgery and shunt surgery all look great and she's finally taking a few naps on her back!
So the basics...
Weight: 8.5 lbs
Height: 21 inches
Eats: Just breastmilk, but like a boss.
Sleeps: On four hour rotations, which isn't half bad at this age. Still on her belly for the most part.
Favorite things: Snuggling!
Girlfriend is as cozy as they come and would much rather nestle into
you than her darn bed. A warm bath is a close second to being snuggled.
And she also seems to really enjoy her Mamaroo swing.
Hates: Clothing changes and being hungry. Those are basically the only things that have her crying, which is a rare act.
All
in all, Eliza's first month has most definitely been a roller coaster.
But from weeks in the NICU to settling in at home, she's proven herself
to be resilient, even-tempered and positively adorable.
What more could a mom ask for??
