One Month

My baby is a month old, it is crazy to think I have been a momma for a whole month! Words cannot describe how much I love my sweet baby boy. He truly is a great blessing in our lives. We are so excited to watch Blake grow and learn new things. Blake had a hard time putting on weight at first, he was born weighing 7.4 then he went down to 6.8 and was there for about 2 weeks, our pediatrician had me start pumping every 2 hours feed Blake that then supplement if he wanted more. We did that for a whole week, talk about being stuck at the house all week. I then called to set up a weight check because I couldn't wait any longer to take him in. Blake had gained almost a whole pound in a week, good job buddy! We then were able to do what I wanted to do in the first place which is feed on demand. At Blake's One Month he weighed in at 8 pounds even and 21 inches long, he is in the 15 percentile. I have a long skinny boy :) He is still wearing newborn diapers and clothes, I wasn't planning on him wearing newborns for very long so I didn't get very much in that size, boy was I wrong, he is still wearing them and probably will for awhile.
