Abigail is 1 Month Old today.

JULY 1ST, 2009

Big milestone today.. My little princess turned a month old today.. It really seems like only yesterday she was kicking my bladder everytime she moved...

She is fairing well in the real world.. Other than her projectile vomiting (which is getting better) and her acid reflux, oh and the constipation.. ALL IS WELL..

She is getting big.. She weighs 9lbs this month and is olmost 22 inchces in length.. She is growing like a weed... She still has blue eyes and red hair.. She is my sweet little girl..

I cant wait til she is walking and talking (okay I can.. I am enjoying her right now.. )

She is beginning to watch things.. Especially things that move.. She has found her hands, ears and her mouth.. (she loves to suck on her thumb)... She can roll over on to her side and she loves to play on her play mat... Not that she does a whole lot but she loves it..

She is most of all healthy and happy and that to me is what matters.. RIGHT..

The life as a Parent..

FIRST... I want to say thank you to my dad.... I realize that being a parent is a blessing and a task..

Abby has been such a great baby... She has not been that fussy (other than the colicky stuff and only because her belly is so full of gas)

Its hard as a new parent (or a veteran parent) to not know what is wrong with your child.. It kills me..

Parenthood is a blessing and full of trial and error ... (LET ME EXPLAIN)

I was trying to breatfeed but was unable to due to my milk coming in so Abby was put on Advance (by Simlac) She was eating good but not gaining the weight, was very gassy and fussy.. So they added Rice Cereal to her diet... Weight gain good but

THEN THE PROJECTILE VOMITING STARTED..

It scared me..

The doctor decided to put her on Acid Reflux meds.. It seemed to help but not that great.. Finally they switched her fomula... THANK YOU ENFAMIL NUTRAMIGEN....

We are on about hour number 12 and no projectile vomiting or major spit ups..

Back to Trail and Error..

Ever wonder if your child is hungry, dirty, fussy, gassy, sleeping or all the above.. I have.. Ever been so tired you forgot to kennel your very hyperactive crazy dog and went to work... Ever wondered how you could stay up til all hours of the night partying and go to work the next day on 2-3 hours of sleep and function.. But your so exhausted with night time feedings and fussiness you just need 5 more hours of sleep..

Parenthood.. is trial and error.. Learning and Loving.. and UNCONDITONAL JOY and FUN..

I have been blessed.. that is for sure...

I have a great husband and great new little family..
