One Month Old

That's right! Macyn is 1 month old today! Its amazing how fast it goes, but yet while being pregnant every 4 weeks seemed like F-O-R-E-V-E-R! But our little ones grow up so fast, so here are some updates. She officially weighs 9lbs 2 oz fully clothed which puts her into the 50th percentile for her weight. Not sure of what her length is, but its in the 85th percentile. She has been starting to fill out some clothes, especially the length! We have some sleepers she is too long for, but are baggy everywhere else. So its kind of hard to find a happy medium between length and weight :)

She also likes to lay on her mat and watch her toys, and be in her swing. She likes to make baby noises when she is happy and starting to smile a little bit more. She has also been sleeping better at night (knock on wood). A few nights the past week she has been sleeping for 5-6 hours at a time. She usually goes to bed around 10:30, gets up around 4:30 and sleeps again until 7:30....this isn't the case, however, when she is on a growth spurt. She is up like clockwork every 3 hours when that happens!

On the medical side, she still is a little Jaundiced but her bilirubin level continues to go down. However, she has an elevated liver enzyme that unexpectedly jumped a little higher this past week which means her liver isn't functioning quite 100% yet. Hopefully when I bring her to the lab to do yet more bloodwork next week it will be back to normal. If not, we have to get another doctor involved. Our doctor thinks she is low risk which makes us feel a little better.

So thats pretty much our life in a nutshell. Can't wait to see what month 2 brings....but they just grow up so fast! I'm trying to enjoy our nightime feedings and cuddle sessions as much as possible.
