A Month At Home

Today marks the 31st day that Reagan has been at home. We still have a ways to go before she will surpass her days in the NICU...but we're getting there. The past month has been full of all sorts of new parenting challenges and joys, and neither Edmund nor I would trade any of it. Reagan continues to amaze us every day.

Here's a quick look at the past month in numbers:

Diaper Size: almost to newborn (probably tomorrow or Wednesday)
Length: 19 inches (hooray!)
Weight: not entirely sure (note to self: BUY a scale), but probably over 6 pounds
Amount of Food Consumed Daily (by Reagan): around 500 to 600 ml, about 16 to 20 ounces
Sleep Time: averaging between 3  and 4 hours
Clothing Size: preemies in everything but pants, where she's in newborns. again, almost out of preemie sizes.
Favorites: her lamb chair, pacifier, bumble bee toy, blankets, snuggling with Mommy and Daddy
Milestones:  can support her head (for a few moments at a time but getting longer each day), rolling from her back to one side and back again, grasping things, tracking with her eyes.
Amount of Wine Consumed by Mommy and Daddy: 8 bottles of red and counting....Oops!! :)
Firsts: trip to the bookstore (got Madeline in a board book), trip to the post office, trip to the mall, walk around the neighborhood, trip to the grocery store, well baby check

Needless to say, it's been a great 31 days! I've been keeping busy at home by using my new sewing machine--made a boppy cover, three ruffled bum onesies, and I'm halfway through Reagan's crib skirt. I have a whole slew of projects that I'm going to work on next. :) We're looking forward to having my family visit at the end of the month! My dad and brother haven't seen her since her first week, and my mom since her first month, so I know they're going to be so wowed by how big she is. Yes, they've seen pictures and videos but it's so not the same thing.

And speaking of pictures, here's a few for yall to enjoy!
