(I’m so late at getting this posted, even though I wrote it when she was barely a month old)
Our sweet little Emma is a month old now. It has definitely been an adjustment for all of us having this peanut in the family. But we sure do love her and can’t imagine our lives without her.
Emma, at one month:
- you eat every 2-3 hours around the clock. We’ve almost made it to 4 hours at night. Mommy will be very happy when we get to sleep for longer stretches.
- you are a noisy baby. We’ve never heard a baby grunt and grumble as much as you do. Hopefully this is just a phase and not a tummy issue.
- your big sister is learning to be patient while Mom feeds you throughout the day.
- newborn diapers are still big on you
- you wore preemie clothes for your first week and you’re still wearing newborn size
- you LOVE to be held. all. day. long.
one month stats:
Weight: 7lbs 2oz
Length: 20in
Head: 14 1/4 in
These stats are unofficial since her next check-up isn’t until 2 months. I went to the lactation center to get a weight check. The other measurements were done at home.
- you tolerate bath time as long as you have a warm washcloth covering you and it’s over as quickly as possible. Lily likes to help with bath time and I try to save you from getting too much water in your face.
- Big sister is warming up to you more and more each day. And it warms my heart.
- you don’t like binkies so Lily took it upon herself to show you how it’s done
We are so blessed to have you in our family, little one.

Ray was a big grunter the first month or two. They say it's common in c-section babies. In case you were wondering :) She is so sweet. I can't wait to meet her. So glad she getting bigger.
