MDR...1 month old

Maddox turned one month old on November 7! A whole month!!!

Today is my actual due date, so the fact that I am writing a post about my baby being 1 month old is crazy!

He weighs, as of Monday, 6 lbs 4.5 oz. and is 19 1/2 inches long. We have been going frequently for weight checks since being home, just so Dr. Karp can make sure he is gaining weight!

Seeing that Maddox was in the NICU for 2 weeks, he got on a pretty good schedule. He eats at 8, 11, 2, 5, 8, 2 and 5.

He is sleeping through his 11 pm feeding which is fine by me!

We have just started a nighttime routine with him with bath time at 7:30, eat at 8 and then a bottle following that. We try to put him down in his bassinet by 8:30 or 9!

His schedule as of now:
8 am feed
9 am back to sleep
11 am wake up to eat...try to keep him awake until next feeding
2 pm feed...try to put him down when Peyton is napping
5 pm feed...try to keep him awake until his next feeding
7:30 pm bath time
8 pm feed
8:30 supplemental bottle and then bedtime
2 am feed
5 am feed

His brother is smitten with him. Always wants to hold him and kiss him and help him in any way he can!

MDR is wearing preemie clothes, the newborn clothes swallow him. I would imagine he would be in newborn in the next two weeks or so.

We are in Newborn diapers and using lots and lots of those!!

So, for one month, we pretty much eat, sleep, and potty!!!
