One Month Old

Our sweet Sophia Joy turned one month old on Monday. It's gone so fast already! At her one month check up she weighed in at a whopping 7 lbs 6 oz...little shrimpy thing, just like Jack. Poor baby has developed pretty bad reflux and so is now on meds...again, just like her big brother! Otherwise she has a clean bill of health, praise the Lord. She has been a very happy and content baby up til the reflux started bothering her and I have been very grateful for an easy little girl. Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to like breastfeeding (again, like Jack!), so I pump a lot of the time and give her bottles when she won't feed, which is working for us at the moment. She is still waking up every 2.5 to 3 hours at night to eat, so I'm a little deficient in the sleep department, but hopefully that will start changing over the next few weeks. I'm trying to enjoy the special things about this newborn stage, despite it's challenges!

We love you little Sophie and are so thankful for you!
