So it's hard to believe, but Marissa is already a month old! We had her 1 month doctor appointment yesterday and she now weighs 9 lbs 2 oz. My little lady is getting big and chubby and is growing so strong!! At the next appointment, her 2 month appointment, she has to get 5 shots and an oral vaccine...for 6 vaccines total. She is going to hate that...only Mommy will probably hate it more (or just as much).
We're doing well. Some nights we get more sleep than others, but that's to be expected...she's still little!! Matt and I have ventured to dinner with her twice this week. First adventure was to the Mexican place nearby (we figured it was fast and somewhat loud in there). Last night we went to Zucca, an Italian place in Smyrna Market Village. She did fine at both outings...she slept. The key is to go immediately after she eats. The only time she gets real pissed is when she's hungry...so to avoid a meltdown we have to make sure she's not hungry!! We brought a bottle along last night just in case we took too long...but we didn't have to use it. Daddy just used it for her next feeding.
She's a pretty cool kid. She's more alert now and enjoys looking at faces (her own in the mirror in her play yard and mom's and dad's) and it's hilarious to see her little grins...even if they're not necessarily intentional at this point, they're still fun to see!
And as for mom...I feel good...have completely recovered from the birthing experience...was lucky to have a pretty easy experience. I am slowly getting back into my old clothes, which is exciting. I still need to tone up some of this excess 'flab' from pregnancy...but that should take care of itself once I start running again in two weeks. I'm excited to start feeling like the old Jamie again...well, the old Jamie who is now a mom! Still crazy to think about that!!
