4 Week Update

As of April 7th, Paige is 4 weeks old! Man, days and weeks go by in a flash when you have a baby. I absolutely LOVE being a mom! It helps that we have the best baby too. Seriously, we do. Paige came out a natural-born eater and sleeper. Since our first night home from the hospital, Paige sleeps 9-10 hours at night and only wakes up 2-3 times to eat for about 10-15 minutes then goes right back to bed. For this momma who LOVES sleep, I feel very fortunate to have passed on one of my favorite and most desirable hobbies to my daughter.

We had a few rough days there at the end of March figuring out an issue Paige has with milk. We found out Paige doesn't digest Milk Protein which is in breast milk. I've drastically cut back on how much dairy I eat and eliminated milk entirely and we've seen a significant improvement. Our doctor told us she must be a strong baby if she can handle everything she's had going on and still be smiling and happy. Like I said earlier, we have the best baby!

Her current weight: 9lbs 2oz as of Friday, April 4th
Her current length: 22 inches

Paige's loves:

1. She loves her Chicco car seat

2. She loves "stretch time" and her bouncer 

3. She loves being milk drunk

4. She loves having her hand up by her face

5. Mom and Dad Love: her CRAZY hair!

Being a mom changes your life. Not just your schedule and plans. I'm talking about how it will change your whole outlook on what love really is and what truly matters in life.  Come on, how could you not love this face!?
