Charleigh after a bath 3 weeks old


Charleigh is one month old.
She has stared eating more often and at times she eats every hour. (Good Times waking up all night then pretty much all the next day) Then she will go a couple of nights where she will sleep for as long as we let her. She has grow to a monstrous 7lbs 5ozs! She has become more aware of her surroundings and remains awake for longer periods of time. It is so much fun watching her progress. She still hasn't had any real fits, she will let out one little cry, wait for a response, & if we are slow in meeting her needs she will let out another, but we still have yet to have a major meltdown. Lets just hope it remains that way I have went back to clinical at school one day a week and Ben gets to spend more time with her. He gets so excited. He calls it "Charleigh Time" The first couple of times I would call to see how they were doing, to make sure she was eating for him and Ben would almost be aggravated like I was questioning his capability, he would answer like he had been taking care of infants all his life. I guess I knew that they would be fine, it was me who had the problem. It was such a long day, every day thatI was away from her and I was so sad to be away even if it was only for a few hours. I start back to school full time next Monday and I have been dreading it since I was admitted into the hospital waiting to be induced. So I guess I will go for now, next time we will not take so long to update this see everyone later,
