It has been 1 month since you turned our world upside down with your dramatic entrance into the world. You decided to arrive early, as I was only 37 weeks and 2 days pregnant with you and NOT ready at all!! Although it was the scariest day of my life, I would do it all over again to have you in my life. After spending 3 nights in the hospital, you came home, happy and healthy, and made yourself very comfortable in our life! We have had our ups and downs, you struggled to gain weight the first few weeks, I can now say that we are on a great journey together.
Birth weight - 5 pounds 9.7 oz
Regained birth weight by Oct 30
Weight as of Nov 3 - 6 pounds 7 oz
Length: 18 inches at birth
You have grown so much, that you are no longer fitting into preemie sleepers. While I was sad to pack those away, I know its a good thing. For now you still fit into the onsies, but the pants are getting a bit short too!
You are sleeping well at night (thank you) and you usually go to bed at 10:15 and sleep until around 2:30 when you get up to eat, go back to sleep until around 6:00 when you eat again and then sleep until about 9:30.There was one night that you slept from 11:00-6:00, but that hasn't happened again. Mommy and daddy are very thankful that only 2 nights did you decide to wake up every 30 minutes!
You have already been a model - and your pictures will be used at an arts fair to model knit wear. You were 5 days old when these were taken. Thank you Alybaby Photography for these images.
We also had family pictures/newborn shots done when you were one week with Santana Nicole. Here are my favourites:
Bath time is your favourite time of the day! You are so relaxed in the bath, you seem like you could be there forever! We do bath every night as part of your bedtime routine. The moment you hit the water, you turn your palms up and just relax.
In your first month, you have made multiple trips to the mall, grocery store, Dad's work and Mom's work and have attended 2 parties in your honour, a Diwali celebration and a retirement party. You have also had LOTS of people come by our new house to meet you. You love being held and passed around between people.
Here are pictures showing how much you have grown in the month.
Love you Punky!!
Mom
