One month! I didn't know that my heart would be able to expand so much! Kylee has filled our home with even more love. Kaitlyn has been a great big sister and loves to help. She likes to hold Kylee often for short periods of time and every night has to give her a hug and kiss and cuddles.
The transition from one kiddo to two has been rough. Getting out of the house seems to be an act of God.. I now understand why everyone with kids always runs late.....it really shouldn't take 1/2 an hour to get 4 people out of the house! Slowly, we're getting the hang of it though. On the upside though, Kylee seems much more portable that Kaitlyn did. I'm sure it's just the fact that we have things to do and can't stop or slow down life as much as we did with Kaitlyn.
Daycare has started back up also, so that adds to the craziness. We love it though. Kaitlyn was lost for a month without all of her friends. It's really nice to get back on a schedule too! I was really missing that order in our lives. Kylee has settled into having lots of kids in the house and is used to all the noise. She loves that all of the daycare kids pay so much attention to her. As soon as she starts crying, they all pipe up and ask me to help her.
At one month, Kylee:
- Weighs 8lbs 7oz. She was still at 7lbs 13ozs (her discharge weight) last week. Her pediatrician told me that she's lazy. (She was sleeping 7 hrs at night and I had to wake her up to eat 2/3 of the time.) Now I'm waking her every 3 hours during the day and every 4 hours at night to hopefully pack on the pounds!
- Hasn't started on schedule. It's much tougher to have bedtime when you're trying not to wake the 3 yr old. She sleeps in the rock n' play right next to my side of the bed.
- Loves the swing, the rock and play and the car. If it moves, she loves it!
- Likes to hear us talking. She'll snuggle as long as we're talking to her.....she's not a fan of quiet.
- Likes tummy time. She'll lay for about 5 minutes before she starts to get mad.
- Doesn't like to lay on flat surfaces. She's really gassy and as soon as you lay her flat, she scrunches her legs up and starts screaming and tooting. Her tummy really hurts, so I've been doing tummy massages at least twice a day in hopes that it'll give her some relief.
- Loves to be carried in the Moby. She's had to be a lot more portable than Kaitlyn, so we can keep up with Kaitlyn.
It's hard to believe our little angel has been here for a month already! I can't imagine life without her!
