So much to my amazement my sweet new baby is one month old today!!! WOW! Where did the last month of my life go? It must have gotten lost somewhere among the sleep deprived days and nights, catching up on that missed sleep when i can, trying to deal with daily temper tantrums from a toddler, keeping the house clean, trying to get the energy to make and eat meals, feeding a newborn, changing diapers and emptying out a potty, trying to find one on one time with Hannah, getting a routine down and trying to fit in some time for just Dan and I. It has been a wonderful month.
I am now adjusting to getting sleep in small increments and that has been a great blessing. Bella now spends 3-4 hours awake during the day. We've only had one or two bad nights and Bella isn't that fussy of a baby. So far what I can say is Bella is a very easy going baby!! This morning she had a huge blowout and I washed her with a quick rinse in the shower, and she didn't let out a peep! She was so great about it. She has been such a different baby from Hannah! We've also stopped calling Bella, Hannah and are starting to see her as her own person, not just a newborn. Her eyes are slowly turning blue, she has very long and light eyelashes (which tickle my arm when she blinks while nursing.) and lots of dark blond hair!!! She just barely grew into size 1 diapers and will soon be too big for newborn size clothing. Hannah didn't grow into 0-3 mon. clothing and size 1 diapers until she was a little over 3 months. Hannah didn't have a whole lot of hair.......Bella has tons! Hannah had ALOT of bad nights her first month and would cry alot........Bella hardly does. Hannah was very alert from the being, Bella has slowly started becoming more and more alert ( she has huge eyes when she's alert.) Anyways, as I was saying......very different babies. So here's a few recent photos!
