Today my sweet Bailey is one month old. She started the day by causing absolute panic in Mommy who woke up 7 hours after putting her to bed. She was still asleep. Her bottle was still in the fridge meaning she didn't get up with Daddy at 3 or 4 like normal... she slept uninterrupted for 7.5 hours. We both needed the sleep but I wasn't ready for that one lol.
We celebrated her one month birthday this morning by giving her the first tub bath of her life. She loved it. She seemed unsure at first but then just really settled into the warm water and smiled as I washed her.(little stinker wouldn't let me get a pic of her smiling) She especially liked having her hair washed, but she always has like water on her head. After she was all clean we took some pics but only one was really good.
We had an appointment with the developmental pediatrician today as well. I am so happy with the outcome. They told us that because she was a preemie they only count her as being 9 days old developmentally. They count from her actual due date as opposed to the date she was born. Then they started working with her and watching her show off by trying to pull herself up, rolling over from side to side and belly to side, making noises, and all the other stuff that I thought was normal one month old stuff... The Dr. informed us that a lot of the things she is doing isn't normally done by healthy full term infants until about 4 months. She said she was definitely advanced. :) I was so happy and so proud.
My little miracle just keeps surprising me everyday.
