Four weeks old

Mila is four weeks old now and I am enjoying more and more each day of not being pregnant anymore. 
Her unofficial stats for one month are:
Height: 19 1/4 inches
Weight: 6lbs 

I weighed her on our home scale, so give or take a few ounces. 

She is still sleeping well at night, averaging two feeds per night. This is a vast improvement from the older three when they were this age. She is almost like clockwork for her nightly feeds: 12 or 1am and 4am. Works for me kiddo! 

This is a newborn sized outfit and it fits her quite nicely. Not overly huge on her, but still plenty of room to grow. Now if only all newborn clothes fit her like this. 

She continues to nurse well and is having lots if very wet diapers every 2-3 hours. Which helps me feel more relaxed that she is eating enough. Still nursing every 2-3 hours during the day and cluster feeding during the evening. 

We had her newborn pictures and family pictures done a few weeks ago. They turned out really well and the photographer was amazing!! We had family pics done in 45 minutes! Which was a lifesaver with four kids who have attention spans of about 3 mins each. 

Mila continues to be a laid back baby and just kind of goes with the flow of our family. I hope she stays this easy! The kids are really enjoying having her as a baby sister!

  2. Her pictures are adorable! She's an amazing sleeper! Mackenzie was a good sleeper after 12 weeks, but at 4 weeks we were holding her for a few hours a night in a recliner so we could all sleep! (this was before we bought the RnP! :o)
