One month!

Reese is one month old. She weighs 9 lbs 1 oz., weight was taken at the doctors office because we had a rash on her face and neck checked out. Was diagnosed as just a heat rash. She is such a sweet mellow girl and still is a sleepy baby. The only time she really fusses is when she ready to eat or has gas pains. She luckily is usually able to resolve that problem fairly quickly.

Sleep- already she seems to be getting into a pretty good sleep pattern. She will nurse around 8-9 and then again around 11-midnight. After that she'll usually do a long sleep stretch till 4 or 5. Of course there are the random nights this all goes out the window and we don't get much sleep. But for the most part we don't feel as sleep deprived as we did with Abby or Isaac at this stage (especially with Isaac, who was colicky for about a month) . It may be that she's a better sleeper than the other two or I wonder if we are getting used to having broken nights of sleep. I did not sleep well at all during most of the pregnancy. Thankfully I am sleeping better now, and when Reese gives us those longer stretches I'm able to take advantage of them. Fingers crossed this continues.

Siblings- Abby continues to be a wonderful big sister. She loves getting to hold Reese. Abby is very on top of protecting her sister, any time someone wants to hold or see Reese, Abby is there to inform them that they need to wash their hands first, think she has heard that from someone? :-)

Isaac is also very interested in his sister. He calls her Re or ReRe. Her feet are what he is most fascinated about. Anytime he has the chance he will try to take off her socks so he can see her feet.

Slowly but surely we are getting into a routine with three kids, we might be a bit of a three ring circus right now, but we are surviving!
