1 Month Check-up

Can you believe that Miss Evie is already a month old?! Well, 5 weeks to be exact. I took her to the pediatrician on Tuesday morning for a check up and she is already up to 8 lbs, 4 oz! I was so excited since with breastfeeding it is hard to tell exactly how much they are getting (other than keeping track of how much they are "outputting"). Obviously she is getting plenty!

This is the first week since she was born that I am on my own all day everyday and so far so good. The most challening part of each day is getting a shower. Though she is a really great sleeper at night and stays in her crib from 8/9 p.m. until 6/7 a.m., once she is up she will not go back down and wants to be held all morning (and usually all afternoon). The only way I can get a shower in the morning is to just let her scream her head off for 20 min. while I get dressed, which is very stressful for me. I've become somewhat of a speed showerer, which those who know me will find miraculous. I can literally brush my teeth, shower and dress in less that 20 min. when it used to take me 20 min. just for the shower part. Nothing like motherhood to show you a new way of doing things!!
