One Month Old

Callie is now one month old! I can't believe how quickly time is going. During Callie's first few weeks, my parents, sister Andrea, and Andrea's two kids visited. My mom stayed with us for almost a month--she was such a great help to us as we adjusted to having a baby. I loved spending time with my sister. I don't get to see my sisters often enough so that was a special treat.

My recovery has been more difficult and...complicated than I had anticipated. The first 3 weeks were especially hard, but after many tears, seeing 3 different doctors (4 visits total), and taking 6 different medications, I am on the mend and am feeling much better.

Callie is doing wonderful. For the most part, she sleeps great at night. She's been going to bed around 8:00 or 9:00 and only wakes up once or twice during the night. I love being home with her all day.

Here are some things she enjoys:
-sleeping (especially in anyone's arms, but she does well in her crib too)
-eating
-tummy time (but it usually doesn't last long)
-her pacifier
-her swing
-car rides

Here are some things she doesn't enjoy:
-baths
-being naked
-having her diaper changed
-being put in or taken out of her car seat (although she loves being in it while the car is moving or while daddy swings it)

I've posted a lot of pictures on my facebook, but here are some recent pictures of her as well as a video. The video is for Grandma Black (too big to e-mail).
