Abby had her one month doctor's appointment this morning. She now weighs 11 lbs and measures 22 inches long. She is definitely eating (and growing!) :) The doctor said that Abby is doing really well. He also said that it was refreshing to have a baby who is eating well- evidently most of his babies are experiencing gas and colic right now. Not our Abby though- she eats about every 2 hours during the day and usually every 3 hours during the night. We received the good news that she'll be eating less often during the night by 2 months of age. We can't wait for the additional sleep!
We also learned that Abby can see about 2-3 feet in front of her now. We've noticed a big difference in her ability to focus and she absolutely loves looking at bright lights (we learned in our baby book that babies absolutely love light at this age).
Here is a picture from Saturday- Abby's one month birthday!
Abby hopes that all of the moms in her life had a wonderful mother's day! She and Leif got Terry a beautiful yellow butterfly magnolia tree for mother's day this year. We can't wait to watch it grow!! :)
Glad to hear that baby Abby is doing so well. She's not quite as heavy as my cat, though! But she'll get there soon enough. Love to all three of you. Sweet dreams (when you can get them!).
