6 month comparison
5 weeks
Morgan has now reached the 5 week mark and I must admit that week 4 was probably the toughest week but well see what week 5 has in store for us.
The reason I say week 4 was so tough was I thought we had Morgans schedule all under control and then comes the 4 week mark and bam wham everything changed in the matter of hours. We went from having her sleep 8 hrs to sleeping in 1 hr spurts which was tough I must admit.
Last night she slept for 6 hrs and I thought I was in heaven I must admit, sleep is just well so very important. We both need our sleep but its amazing how even though you can be sleep deprived you somehow figure out how to function and its all worth every single minute and I wouldnt change a thing!
Morgan is definitely going through a growth spurt and with that growth spurt have come many, many more fussings than it seems like we got before 4 weeks but we are taking it day by day. Another thing Im still trying to figure out is her daytime schedule which I feel like Im trying to read up on everything just to figure it out. She is nursing about 10-15 minutes each time because she wont eat anymore usually and Im trying to get her to go every 2 hours right now and work our way up (it was every hour). Then her naps are very, very short at 30 minutes to an hour at max. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to share.
We got our proofs back yesterday from the professional photographer and they are AMAZING! We are going to wait to show everyone until the birth announcements are sent out and then I will share all of them. We got the proof back on our birth announcements today and they should be back hopefully by next Friday or early the next week. I cant wait to see them in person we did something very different with lots of pictures. We are also going to finally redo the blog with pictures of Morgan and our little family. Here is a teaser pic for now :)

1 Month old
Weight: 8 lbs 9 oz (as of Friday at 4 wks) which means she gained 9 oz in ONE week! We were thrilled to hear the wonderful news. That means we dont have to go back this week to get her weight check since she is officially over her birth weight.
Length: 22 inches
What Morgan can do/has been up to this month...
- smiles (she has gotten pretty good at this)
- can turn her body around in her bassinet by kicking the side of it (its always fun to see how she will be turned in the morning when we wake up)
- her sleep schedule at night revolves around 5-8 hrs of sleep and then after that its all up in the air for now
- her new love is for the pacifier, she will literally scream bloody murder sometimes if she doesnt have it in her mouth.We are still trying to figure out how to keep it in her mouth.
- She has figured out how to take her pacifier out of her mouth with her fingers but has not figured out how to put it back in.
- her poop/pee diapers are becoming a lot more regular now which makes us 2 happy parents :)
- she still has a little blocked tear duct but its getting better with the medicine
- she has developed baby acne which we have found out gets worst when you are out in the heat so we are told to keep her nice and cool so it doesnt get worst which is tough when it is 100+ in MS!
- outings are not something that she enjoys very much but occasionally we do have to escape from the house on rare occasions. It is definitely more of a chore now especially with breastfeeding and figuring it out
- she loves kisses and just to be talked to.
- she loves to look around especially at the ceiling and she is getting so much more alert!
- she loves to breastfeed and is really taking to it well.
- She does not care so much for a bottle but Im pumping to try to introduce her to the bottle when I go back to work in August. So far she will take the pumped bottle but its not her favorite thing.
- She can now fully turn her head from one side to the other
- She can scoot just a tiny little bit on her play gym-its so cute
- she loves to talk to and makes the funniest little noises
- she loves to be held and is getting to where she doesnt like to be put down
- you are sleeping in your bassinet still-we still havent moved you to your room yet
- you get the hiccups all the time and it always seems to wake you up.
- She still seems to be going through her first growing spell (started at 3 wks 6 days) and her schedule is all out of whack right now. I sure hope it gets back to normal.
