Today Olivia is one month old and I cannot hardly believe it. It has gone by so fast and it has been amazing. She is such a good little girl and for whatever sleep I have lost.. it is so worth it. Today we went to her 1 month check up. The doctor says that she is growing and healthy. She now weighs 9.6 pounds and is 21 3/4 inches long. She has already outgrown some of her newborn pjs, but in the length. When she stretches, she was about to kick the little feet out. She has also started to coo a little and is so smiley. It just gives me such an overwhelming feeling to hear these sweet little noises.
I am been very blessed to have gotten to spend these past three weeks with my family. It has definitely helped to get adjusted to having a newborn. Rob was very relieved that I had so much help also. The thing that I am the most nervous about is heading back to school at the end of September. For anyone that knows me at all, probably knows that I am not a huge morning person. I have trouble enough getting to work on my own, so this should be interesting trying to get me and her ready for the day. So pray for that transition.
Rob has been getting to see her several times a week through our web cam. I know that is nothing like the real thing, but thank God for technology and what we do have. I CANNOT wait until he is home, but I know that these next couple of months will go back quickly and we are just hoping he is home for Christmas.
This picture was just taken on her one month birthday. I have been trying to upload video to this, but haven't quite figured that out yet... so keep on the lookout. Love you all.
