Sheffield – One Month

 

 

Dear Pickle,

You are a whole month old! It’s so crazy to think that you’ve been on the outside for a whole thirty days.  I hope you’re enjoying it as much as we are!

We had your one month appointment yesterday, and you are finally seven pounds!  You hadn’t grown any length-wise, so you’re still hanging out in the fifth percentile — you are still so tiny!  I check to make sure you’re breathing about a million times a day, but I’ve kept you alive this long, so I feel pretty confident about keeping you alive for awhile.

I love having you fall asleep on my chest — you seem to like that more and more every day.  You are starting to hold your head up, and you seem so surprised every time you do it.  You make sweet baby noises sometimes, and it makes me can’t wait to hear you actually coo and babble.

We are so in love with you little Sheffield — every one told me that I wouldn’t know this kind of love until I held you in my arms, and they were so right.  Loving you is my absolute favorite thing in the world.  Keep being your sometimes fussy pants, bath-loving little self.

Love,

Yo momma.
