One Month Old

Well, we've reached the one month mark. First of all, an update on Campbell's drs appointment this morning... the dr confirmed that she does in fact have a bad case of baby acne. She said it should go away in about a week or so and that although it looks bad, it will be fine. I asked about the reflux and/or gas issues and she said that she's pretty sure Campbell is just still adjusting to life outside the womb and her body is still figuring out digestion. I'm not convinced that there isn't a problem, but now I'm leaning more toward her having an allergy or a resistance to something I'm eating that is causing the digestion problems. I might cut out dairy for a couple months and see if that helps at all.

Anyway, on to the good stuff about being a month old. She now weighs 8lbs 14oz (up from 7lbs 8oz at 10 days old). The dr was happy with that weight gain and so am I. I'm pretty sure that Campbell is never going to be one of those chunky babies, which is fine with me. At least she'll fit in her clothes for longer than the average baby. LOL She's starting to settle into a pretty good napping and eating routine. That is, until we leave the house for any amount of time and through her whole routine off. What else there really to say about being one month old? She's starting to smile (although not really consistently), likes her time laying and kicking on the floor, and has some good awake time. And, of course, she is darn cute. :)

This is how she napped for about an hour yesterday. She had been asleep on me for an hour or so and I wanted to put her down so I could get something done. There was a laundry basket full of clothes sitting next to my chair so I made a little nest in them for her. She loved it!

Happy One Month, Campbell!
