James had his one month appointment this week and is doing great. He is 10 lbs, 21 and 3/4 inches (his birth height with a cone head...this is his new height without a cone head), he is in the 50th percentile for everything. He was so good at this appointment, no crying in the waiting area, he didn't pee on the scale, he was calm and cool and let the Dr. check him out. He only spit up a few times. He did cry when he got his shot but only for a moment. He was very brave. I can't believe how fast he is growing.
He is still sleeping pretty well. Not as long as he used to but still around 5 hours at night.
He cuddles with me which I LOVE.
He is starting to smile real smiles, not just gas smiles.
He still cries a lot, hopefully he grows out of it sooner than later.
He loves to be bounced and is holding his head up pretty well.
My stats after one month and some things I am learning.
Maternity clothes don't fit and neither do my regular clothes. It is depressing.
(my MAGIC mirror still works but now I don't enjoy it. THE CLOTHES DON'T LIE)
Breastfeeding is still hard but finding that books help. I'm taking recommendations.
I don't like nursing bras.
I feel like time is flying by - I thought it was moving quickly before but this is out of control
I have only done my hair a couple times since James was born and finding time to shower is hard.
Realized that quickly going somewhere is now in that past. It is hard to quickly go anywhere when you are packing around everything but the kitchen sink. (I would try to pack that too but it won't fit in my little VW bug).
Cell phone minutes go lots faster when you are home all day.
Rocky stats after one month
Super busy and tired but loving his boy.

Rocky looks totally wiped. So fun to have you visit. Let's do it again.
Your baby's a cutie!...well, a handsomeee I guess.
Nursing is not easy, especially with the first. People who say it's just natural and shouldn't hurt if you're doing it right are not in touch with reality or something! With our first, it took me 3 months to feel like I could nurse in the mother's lounge with all the other mom's, and I still felt like I had to have the boppy with me! Just don't give up because it's totally worth it in so many ways!! Good luck!!
