1184 Days

One Month


Has it really been a month since Ruby was born??? Jon and I both still feel like it was just last week that she joined our family. She is doing great and fits right in to our little family. She's already changed so much since the day she was born and we can't wait for this next month!

Weight/Length:
9 pounds!!!!
20 inches

Eating:

She started out nursing every 1-3 hours and is now nursing about every 2-4. Strictly on breastmilk for now and will be for a while.

Day 8- Eating. Ruby enjoying her Thanksgiving meal  #breastfeeding #the_cause #photoadaybaby #babysfirstmonth


Sleep:
She is a GREAT sleeper. She's already sleeping long stretches at night and since I have no problem with milk supply and she's gaining weight, I'm not waking her at night to eat. She usually wakes herself up once or twice to eat, but falls right back to sleep.
Day 9- #Sleeping. #photoadaybaby #babysfirstmonth #sleepy #dreamland #newborn

Milestones:
First visitor- Grandma from 11/23-12/04
First visit to the doctor- 11/27
First photoshoot on 12/09
First bath on 12/09


Health:

She has been in perfect health since birth. She did have a bit of thrush and a yeast rash due to the antibiotics that I was put on two days after her birth, but it cleared up in less than a week and thankfully didn't seem to bother her too much.

Sleeping in the sunlight
Sleeping by the window to get some sun since we really haven't had much of a chance to leave the house. I cannot wait to get out and get some real sunlight and fresh air! ☀

She's not too sure about her giant pram. I got a 3m so that it would last longer, but put her in it this morning because our bedroom was freezing.

Ready to go out! #babywearing #beco #becobaby

Waking up and stretching. This cracks me up

I can't believe how much she's filling out! Her thighs are already chunky and her newborn clothes are getting a little bit snug. Slow down, Ruby!!!
