One Month

I can NOT believe my baby is already a month old! Where did the first month go? I feel like just yesterday we were packing our bags for the hospital. (Granted as I write this, he is almost two months but I am going to be better now that our routine is kinda in place- for now). The day after Chelsea's wedding little man turned one month old.

Ascher

1 month old

Ascher's Stats 

Weight: 8 lbs something...only went to doctor at 2 weeks out and he was back at birth weight which was 7 lbs 9 ounces so I'm giving him some weight gain over the following two weeks : ) 

Height: 20 and a quarter

Clothing size: newborn

Diaper Size: newborn

Eats: 

every 2 hours. talk about exhausting but I love our special time together and wouldn't trade it for the world

Sleeping patterns: 

Well in the beginning of the month at night he still woke up every 2 hours to eat and would sleep during the 1.5 hour between feedings. Towards the end of the month he started going a little longer, but mostly just 3-4 hours but only at night. During the day he doesn't sleep too much. He eats, then sleeps for about twenty minutes and by the time I change his diaper and get situated its time to eat again. He is a hungry growing boy- no time to sleep apparently.  

Routine:

eat, change diaper, sleep, eat, change diaper, sleep (amazing the month flew by when every day I was doing the same thing on repeat)

Favorites: 

...being in the car, passes out the second we start moving

...LOVES his wubanub

...being held constantly

...bath time. He is so chill- sticks his feet over the net thing and just chills. LOVES it. Gonna have me a little water baby

Firsts:

Outing- Ashley furniture other than the hospital for doctor check ups. We bought new couch & over sized chair when he was 1 week old. He did great. Slept the whole time until the end, then I ended up going to the car to nurse him before coming back in to sign papers. 

Easter- we were exhausted and didn't even take pictures- Bad mommy! I had planned to take photos of us as a family, him in an Easter egg and be all cute. didn't happen. : ( 

Bottle - I wanted Justin to be able to feed him too so on Easter he had his first bottle of milk that I pumped. Sweet Daddy bonding time

Baseball Game- On April 24, Ascher went to his first baseball game. He slept the whole time but we think he enjoyed it. : )

Thoughts for Ascher:

I can't believe we have only known this little boy for one month. My heart swells thinking of how much love I have for this little person. Every day he does something new and grows a little more.  I know what they say is true, the time goes by too fast. I feel like his first month of life is a blur but I honestly believe God made me to be a Mommy. I am in heaven and yeah some nights and days are long but when you look at his little face you can't beat it & I wouldn't trade it for the world. He has grown so so much. I already want it to slow down.
