Waverley | One Month

Dear Waverley,
This has literally been the fastest month of my life. When the notification for your check up popped up on Google Calendar, I stopped dead in my tracks. There's no possible way that you're already a MONTH old! You were just born a few days ago!! But sadly, no. My littlest baby girl is growing up :(



At one month, you...
-weigh 10.8 pounds (82nd percentile)

-are 22.7 inches long (97th percentile)

-have a head circumference of 15 inches (90th percentile)

-wear size 0-3 month clothes

-wear size 1 diapers

-have developed very particular sleeping habits (more on that below)

-just started taking baby Zantac to help with reflux

-are definitely more of a snacker than an eater

-enjoy looking at lights and ceiling fans

-love to be worn or held

-are a total mama's girl

-hate being on your back, probably due to the reflux

-sleep for 3-4 stretches at night

-have the sweetest personality!

At night, you are sooooooo particular! No swaddle. No paci. No lovey. Fan on, in our bed, and in between me and Daddy. Arms stretched out, and heaven help our household if one of those conditions isn't met! There have been numerous incidences when we've been downstairs and you just start wailing, like wailing, until I bring you upstairs. Each time it's been around 8:30-9pm, and I now know that when I see you fuss like that, you mean business and I need to get you upstairs immediately. Once I do, though, you're happy as a lark to go to sleep for three or four hours! I've never heard of a one month old being this particular, but dang. You've got it on point, little sister! (Now if we could just work on the whole sleeping for six hours thing...)

I'm not sure I've mentioned yet how much I love your DIMPLES! Daddy and I have no idea where you got them from since neither of us have them, but they just make you...you. You're going to be a little heartbreaker, I just know it!


We love you so much, Waverley. It's been an adjustment as a family of four, and we're all still trying to get in the swing of things. But every day gets easier, and we are having a blast getting to know you and watching Pemberley learn how to be a big sister. Even though it's hard for us to believe it's already been a month, I can barely remember what our lives were like before you came along. You're happy, healthy, and beautiful. We just adore you!

Love,
